Sony 50mm F1.4 review
Pros:
- Unusually good performance on APS-C even at wide apertures
- Excellent image quality when stopped down on both full-frame and APS-C
- Low distortion
Cons:
- Very soft across most of the frame at wide apertures on full frame
- Bokeh chromatic aberration, most visible at wide apertures
- Vignetting at wide apertures on full frame (essentially disappears by F3.3)
- Corner softness on full-frame - never quite sharp even at F8
- Somewhat susceptible to flare

Lens Test: Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens
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 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...

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.
