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 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.

AWESOME!!!!
BUY IT NOW, save yourself from the Canon 50mm lineup and get even somewhat better quality than the prestigious 50mm "L" lens... Canon's is good/great, but after some review this one has the upper hand in 50mm (only this range, "L" is preferred on all others for me)... can't wait for the 5D MK2...
Pros:
- Inexpensive
- sharp at 1.4
- and great background blur
- blows away my former Tam** SP F2.8 lens
- ultra fast focusing on my 50D
- a great pair for portraits
- made my photo shoot go easy the other day and it made it hard to pick which photos to use
- THE WERE ALL GREAT!!
Cons:
- its not a 1.2
- ummm

This is the first Sigma 50mm f/1.4 prime lens for 4/3 DSLRs, a tele photo lens in the focal length of 100mm equivalent to portrait lens in medium distance. A superb lens of optical quality and design, fast focus in silent with HSM.
Pros:
- Fast aperature in f/1.4 with beautiful bokeh
- Short lens barrel and well balance of weight by hand-held with camera body
- Fast focus speed in silent with HSM
Cons:
- None

Worth Every Penny
Let me start by explaining my score of 4 on image quality. If I had the option I would give it a 4.8 rather than a perfect 5. When the aperture is wide open at f/1.4 images get 'creamy all over'. But with the right light this effect can be absolutely stunning!
Pros:
- Bokeh
- Focus Speed
- Sharpness
Cons:
- 77mm filters
