The contrast between the sharp and the blurred is often overlooked by still photographers as a creative tool, but it's often used very effectively by cinematographers.

Back when we originally tested the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG AF lens , the first in Sigma's new high-end Art series to be released, we weren't just impressed, we were eager to see what would come next.

Sigma 50mm F/1.4 Art Review: Great Glass That Punches Above Its Price
Sigma has been the darling of the lens world recently, producing high-performance products at reasonable prices. Its latest is the 50mm f/1.4 Art series lens, a long awaited addition to their line that we recently had the pleasure of trying out. You're not going to find much more lens for the price.

Sigma recently announced pricing on their newly redesigned and reengineered (and not-yet-released!) 50mm f/1.4 prime lens, which sits on their Art Line. Many photographers consider a 50mm prime to be their go-to, foundational lens size, so it was exciting being able to try out a lens that has...

REVIEW: Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Review
Sigma has added to their 'Art' range of fast aperture lenses with this new 50mm f/1.4 lens, which will be available to fit Canon, Nikon, Sony and Sigma SLR cameras. This lens costs around £850, which seems like an awful lot for a 50mm f/1.4 lens.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM "A" review by Prime Minister
This is one sharp and contrasty lens! Even wide open the central portion of the image is totally usable. Stop the lens down to f/2 and most of the frame is super sharp. From f/2.8 it's tack sharp from corner to corner. Colour and contrast are excellent too.
Pros:
- Wide aperture
- super sharp
- fast autofocus
- good build quality
Cons:
- Behemoth

Fast Fixed Focal Length Lenses; Sigma's 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM And 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM
Although zoom lenses are certainly versatile and convenient, they do have some drawbacks, including relatively small maximum apertures.

If you shoot a lot at wide apertures (1.4 to 2.8) no 50 can beat it. I\'m still amazed when I chimp my images. As an old Leica-M shooter, I have a style that relies on lenses in the 28mm to 75mm range. My basic lens is the 18-35 Art, and this 50 is my \"long\" lens.
Pros:
- Unbelievably sharp, even wide open
- Great colour
- Good (not great) bokeh
- Very well made, like all Art series lenses
- Balances well on a D7100 with grip
Cons:
- Can\'t use the outer focus points on Nikon D7100
- Heavier than a Nikon 50/1.4
- The temptation to use wide apertures close up will test your focus discipline
