I have multiple canon lenses most with L rating. Depending on usage this sigma art lens blows them all away. A few months ago I took the photographs for my daughters wedding using only this lens on full frame camera. Excellent results. It stays on one of my cameras all the time now.

Fantastic Prime Lens
Until recently, if you wanted a fast quality prime you had to buy from your camera manufacturer. Those days are gone with Sigma now creating quality lenses that are matching, and even surpassing, the quality of the big hitters.

We've been very impressed by Sigma's recent 'Art' line lenses, such as the ultra-fast 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM and the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM . The 50mm F1.4 DG HSM continues in a similar vein, but if anything it surpasses its illustrious stablemates.
Pros:
- Stunning image quality - super sharp
- minimal CA and practically no distortion
- Impressive flare resistance
- Generally attractive rendition of out-of-focus backgrounds
- Fast
- silent
- and accurate autofocus
- Excellent build quality
Cons:
- Large and heavy for a 50mm F1.4 prime
- Relatively expensive for its class
- No weather sealing

Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art
Sigma turned more than a few heads when it hinted its 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art ($949) lens was poised to perform in the same league as the Zeiss Otus 55/1,4 . Sigma's older 50mm F1.4 EX DC HSM was a good lens, but it lagged behind the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G in sharpness, especially at the edges...
Pros:
- Incredibly sharp
- Minimal distortion
- 15.7-inch close focus
- Available for several camera systems
Cons:
- Big
- Depth of field scale isn't that useful
- No optical stabilization
- A little pricey
- Dim corners at wide apertures

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A ("Art") - APS-C Format Review / Lens Test Report
Ooops ... they did it again! ;-) Sigma proved once more that they are no longer a company providing budget lenses but are playing in the top league indeed. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A (Art series) is a cream-on-the-cappuccino product - at least when used on APS-C DSLRs (well, *hint* it's not bad...

Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art review
The Sigma ART 50mm f1.4 is without a doubt the best standard lens with autofocus for Canon or Nikon bodies. You'd expect it to out-perform the cheaper Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM and Nikkor 50mm f1.4G lenses considering it's roughly twice the price, but the big surprise is how it also delivers better...
Pros:
- Very good to excellent performance across a high-resolution full-frame sensor even wide open
- Fast and reliable auto-focus
- Minimal light fall-off for an f1.4 lens
- Solid build quality
- Lower price than professional f1.4 lenses
- Chance to fine-tune using optional USB dock
- Chance to swap mounts (at...
Cons:
- Higher price than basic 50mm f1.4 lenses
- Large and heavy
- Not weather-sealed
- Some field-curvature makes stopping down mandatory for high-quality shots of flat (or distant) subjects
- Outlining sometimes makes the background Bokeh a bit nervous
- Greater Longitudinal Chromatic Aberrations than top...

Amazing Lens
I got my D3200 camera a few years ago and it was an incredible leap from the point and shoot cameras I had been using. With young kids, I wanted to be able to get some good photos and especially needed to be able to do so without flash.
