Best priced at buydig!
I was scared after reading reviews that it has some back focus problem... but it was fine! Plus, if there's any problem, you can always return and get a new one.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM
The 'EX' in the name denotes this lens's superior optical and build quality, the 'DG' means that it's optimised for the smaller sensor areas of most DSLRs but will still work on a full-frame camera, and the 'HSM' stands for 'Hyper-Sonic Motor', Sigma's proprietary high-speed autofocus technology.

Best for optics and price as long as you can get a good autofocusing copy
I was weary to buy this lens due to many review of the autofocusing not behaving. I bought 2 copies to hope that one would work with my camera. I noticed within the two copies that one was softer than the other. The autofocus is also not super at low light situations.

Really nice! Presumably better than the Canon 50 1.4!
Amazing lens! I absolutely love it - everything from build quality, Bokeh, image quality, this lens absolutely shines!

Stunning
I bought this lens mainly for portrait photography. I like it better than the canon version. I checked the reviews and photo samples of this lens and I must say, it's true enough that it is a nice lens.

For portraits and bokeh this lens is top
This lens has opened some doors for me with its f1.4 capabilities. I was trying to decide between this and the two more affordable canon 50mm lenses. Ultimately I sold myself on this output quality from this lens.
Pros:
- Low Light
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Sharpness
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Inconsistent focus

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.
