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

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...

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.

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.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art
My biggest disappointment is very inconsistent AF performance - same picture taken twice from the same position - one is in perfect focus, second is completely soft. Huge vignetting at f/1.4. My first and last attempt buying third party lens. Nothing compare to Canon 50 f/1.2.
Pros:
- nice looking
Cons:
- very inconsistent AF performance

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.

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.
