Sigma AF 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A ("Art") (Nikon FX) - Review / Test Report
It seems that several manufacturers decided that the most natural focal length (which some call the "most boring one" instead) could need a little more excitement. This has lead to a bunch of new products in this area, but as before, most of them were quite expensive, like for example the new Nikkor...

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

Sharp Lens with set backs
I use this on my Canon 6d. This is by far the sharpest lens I've ever used. It doesn't focus as sharp on the outer edges. When you use your outer focus points, it struggles to keep up with Canon's L series lenses.
Pros:
- Bokeh
- Focus Response
- Quality build
- Sharpness
Cons:
- Blurry On Edges
- Heavy

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.

I looove this lens. Every shot is amazing buuuuuuuuut the lens cap is literally a piece of shit that falls off with little to no effort. Be CAREFUL putting it in a bag or case cause 100% the lens cap will undo itself and just fall off. With that said it's worth the money.

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...

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
