Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM

Pros: Sharpness at f1.8, weight, precise focus, price

Cons: At this price ?!

Opinion: Really a pleasant surprise. Hot tones, clear already in TA, light as a feather. € 109 paid on Amazon, Canon Pass. Except I bought a third party hood at a cost of 6 euros. Ultimately, with 115 euros I have a fifty metal attack with reliable focus, which returns beautiful colors. I do not know what else I might ask.

Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art

Pros: Sharpness at TA, excellent, fast focus, chromatic aberration and low distortion, excellent, tropicalized construction

Cons: Weight, minimum diaphragm f16

Opinion: The lens is solid and in the hand it feels. The building is impeccable, the materials are cared for and there is no fault on the barrel. It's a professional lens, and you notice it immediately. It's aesthetically beautiful. The frontal element is very large and the green-blue coating is noticeable by looking at it frontally. Obviously, no screw-type filter can be fitted, and the back does not allow the use of gelatin filters. At f1.8 breaks the hair (at least on my 5D Mark III). I did not have to make any adjustments to the focus. Significant vignetting at f1.8, significantly improves to f2.8, from f4 onwards fairly constant, disappears to f11. Minimum and well-controlled flare. Clarity at f1.8 is impeccable in the center and discreet on the edges. F2.8 is already excellent everywhere. From f4 onwards it's really stellar. From this point of view, the lens is amazing at any opening. Fantastic. F1.8 is coma, and it's obvious, but nothing that makes the photos unusable. There areOr lenses that make f4 worse (Canon 16-35 f4 IS). At f2.8 coma is minimum, at f4 disappears. RnArchitecture is minimal and optimally controlled. Distortion is easily correctable and not excessive. Now like now, the only problem I see is weight, but I'm a bit "sensitive" to this topic, and I'm sure that for other users this is not important. In the end, lens recommended. If you want to read the full-scale miniaturization and download the RAW test, I opened this forum discussion: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=en&t=2412303
