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 f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens
Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM lens , which we reviewed in August 2008 has been joined by a serious alternative that complies with the high standards of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series of lenses.

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

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.

Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM
The Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM is a fast and tack-sharp lens, both in the centre and at the edges of the frame, with virutally no evidence of chromatic aberrations and very little distortion.

Does not dissapoint
"I mainly use my Canon mount lenses for wedding videography but I'm a photography enthusiast as well. This lens produces gorgeous video and photographs paired with a 5D Mark iii. I have a lot of glass, including Canon L glass, but I keep reaching for this lens the most often.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Review
There have not been many Sigma lens announcements that generated the anticipation that the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens announcement generated. The 50 Art Lens was announced not long after the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 Distagon T* ZE Lens arrived, delivering a not-before-seen high level of...

Sharp Lens with set backs
I use this on my Canon 6d. This is by far the sharpest lens I've ever used. It doesn't focus as sharp on the outer edges. When you use your outer focus points, it struggles to keep up with Canon's L series lenses.
Pros:
- Bokeh
- Focus Response
- Quality build
- Sharpness
Cons:
- Blurry On Edges
- Heavy

Fantabulous
50mm is the focal length most used by doyens like Ansel Adams . This lens justifies it's position for being among the sharpest 50mm ever produced. It's sheer poetry to play with this piece of art. Just wished Sigma started developing weather sealing to it's Art armoury.
