I am debating on the Sigma 30mm vs the Canon 40mm. Doesn't the Sigma have a lower F stop than the Canono? How sharp is the Sigma at the lowest aperture cause it's more than twice the price of the...

It's not a bad deal... but I wouldn't call it hot. I have the 50mm on the crop sensor 60d and I think that is a little long (approx 80mm). So 85 would be around 135mm on a crop. It probably isn't...

I loved my 50mm f/1.8 so much so that it was on my body 80% of the time. But then I got the 24-105mm f/4 and that tends to monopolize the body now even though I upgraded to the 50mm f/1.4.

Big difference. If all you want is filming then you probably dont need a lens with autofocus.
So the Rokinon 85mm f1.4 would be a cheaper alternative and faster.

is the 50 mm for FX or DX sensor? if for FX, its going to turn into a 75 mm, which might not be a good idea for indoor portraits.

That's not a bad option. Are you getting it from amazon so you can get the instant rebate of 250 off? How much are you spending total? That will give me a better idea of how to spend your money.

I think it'd also be solid for sports at night. I'll be doing college football soon and don't have the dough for a 70-200, but need some reach and a big aperture. This is it.

70-300mm is less than $400. It's generally around $300. same goes with the older 18-135mm. It's $300 on CL if you get lucky. and same goes with the 60D.

I have a 60D and a 50mm f/1.4 and I think the quality of her shots are probably more so related to the higher ISO and less grain you get when you use a 5D (mk 1, 2, or 3). That is just an incredible...

It depends on the action. If you stand near the goal, a 400 prime might be WAY too close. Along the sideline, I think 70-200 is probably a good bet. And for all intents and purposes, a 70-200 f/4...

It's probably the best portrait lens for the value-conscious. It hits the focal length sweet spot in my opinion. I am saving up for the 85/1.2L though. :)
