About this deal

I have not tested this on Canon, which would not be able to correct it without a lens profile, which does not exist. I suspect this Sigma has little to no lateral color. I've greatly exaggerated what little there is by shooting a gray field and presented the images against another gray field: With a large 1.4 aperture, the Sigma 50mm 1.4 prime lens is a pro level performer for shooting everything including portrait photography, landscape photography, studio photography and street photography. I love my sigma 40 art 85 art & 105 art for stills. once u use sigma art lenses, u realize your other lenses werent as good as u might have thought. The particles in the air you see in the above image are dust, pollen and other debris flying all over due to windy conditions and cars passing by. Canon EOS 6D + 50mm @ 50mm, ISO 200, 1/80, f/5.6

On my Nikon D810 , AF was dead-on for every frame, especially shot at f/1.4 where this is critical. The 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens sits right in the middle. So it’s the right choice for prosumer users who don’t want to break the bank. Image QualityThe Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is built similar to current Nikon prime lenses – it has a solid plastic exterior and a metal mount. The lens feels very solid in hands and its large size and heavy weight make it feel like handling the Nikon 24mm f/1.4G. It is almost twice heavier than the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G, which is only 280 grams, and almost three times heavier than the Nikon 50mm f/1.8G (185 grams). The 77mm filter thread is a little too big for a 50mm lens in my opinion, because 77mm filters are expensive. Those who use 77mm filters like polarizing filter will probably be happy about not having to use a step-up ring, but such filters typically get rarely used on 50mm lenses in first place. There is, however, an advantage to having such large front element – as you will see in image samples below, it helps in reducing vignetting at large apertures. Here is how the Sigma compares to other Nikkor lenses (From left to right: Nikon 50mm f/1.8D, Nikon 50mm f/1.8G, Nikon 50mm f/1.4D, Nikon 50mm f/1.4G and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM): NIKON D3S + 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 70mm, ISO 400, 1/80, f/5.6

Late 1980s ~ early 1990s AF cameras like the N90s, N70 and F4 will focus just fine, but you'll lose VR. You'll have Program and Shutter-priority modes, but lose Manual and Aperture-priority since you have no way to set the aperture on the camera or on the lens.For this review, we will test the Canon EF-mount version of this lens on a Canon 5D Mark IV full frame body. Who Is the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art For? I'd leave either a 77mm Nikon Clear (NC - UV) filter, a 77mm Hoya Alpha MC UV or bulletproof 77mm Hoya HD2 UV on the lens at all times instead. Think of it as a clear optical lens cap, and you'll be shooting a lot faster without fumbling.
