Sharp, pretty but bulky
I am on the fence to return this item. .. I was looking for a good travel lens that could cover good street and portrait focal lengths with low light capability . Description says designed for Aps-c. 50-100mm f1.8 from sigma... This sounded great. ..

I am still on the fence for this lens. It might be because I love my 28-35 1.8 so much that I need to give it a chance
Pros:
- Sharp
- fast
- build quality
- much better than the 24-105
Cons:
- Now this is a heavy lens, tripod foot but I learned to live with it, hoped it would be as great as my 18-35 1.8 but no not quite
- Did I mention heavy No OS

Early impressions: a winner
First quick impressions: - very sharp at 1.8 - very smooth and creamy bokeh - extremely high build quality...the zoom ring smoothness is otherworldly - i have not experienced any focus issues so far...auto-focus is fast and silent..

Really great lens
This lens looks and feels quality. Be warned its is a bit of a monster, and is a heavy weight. The image is sharp and beautiful. I have two Sigma art lenses (I also have the 18-35) now and opted for these as they are billed as professional quality glass for aps-c cameras.

Should have been a 5 star review, but....
This lens was right out of the box and onto my camera. I found the focus to be tack sharp without any tuning and all focal lengths tested. Great color and contrast. Focus was fast and quiet. The constant length, and non-rotating lens is a plus for me.

Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM | A Review
Not content with just the one optic in the Global Vision Art series of fast-aperture lenses, Sigma's engineers have burnt the midnight oil and produced their second f/1.8 zoom, which was showcased for the first time at the CP+ show in Japan earlier this year.

Sigma 50-100mm F/1.8 DC HSM Art
The Sigma 50-100mm F/1.8 DC HSM Art is an interesting proposition. It's almost like three or four prime lenses in one (50mm, 60mm 85mm and 100mm), but with the added bonus of offering a wide f/1.8 aperture - something which you won't find in 100mm prime lenses.

Hefty performer
There have already been a number of reviews online of this lens, most praising the clarity and sharpness of the images it can produce, and so far I can't fault them on those points. It is crisp, fast and silent.
Pros:
- Clarity
- Sharp Focus
Cons:
- Heavy
- Micro Adjustment
- Slow Zoom
