You won\'t find the Sigma to have a great manual focus ring. It\'s adequate, but
not great in any way. If you go with the sigma, make sure its AF is reliable.
Assuming you can live with Zeiss planar bokeh, the ZE 50/1.4 is probably the
lens your wife would most enjoy using. But that assumes f/1.4 close-in performance
and creamy bokeh are not first priorities. Of course, it is overpriced, in my opinion.
If it can be done with duties (customs issues), I\'d be happy to have you borrow
my Sigma to try it for a month. Contact me privately if you wish.
