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

Pros:
- Big glass that lets in lots of light!

Sigma EX: A capable telephoto macro lens
This telephoto macro lens was the first lens I purchased for my DSLR. It was intended for insect macrophotography, and has not disappointed. At around f8, the lens is very sharp; it is softer wide open, but this is not a problem for macros as the depth of field at f2.8 is too shallow anyway.
Pros:
- Sharp image and 1:1 magnification
Cons:
- Clunky focusing system

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Review
One of the nicest things about Sigma lenses is that they come with a padded pouch, instantly suggesting that the manufacturer feels the lens is worth protecting. Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 is no exception, boasting an enormous front element and a .
Pros:
- Imposing presence
Cons:
- Distinctly heavy

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

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.

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 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.
