sigma_50_f1-4artSigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: The best 50mm on the market, frightening sharpness already at F1.4, quality of the final photo, wonderful bokeh, heavy lens (it is the quality that returns justifies the 800g or so), you fall in love with it to such an extent that you do not disassemble it anymore, but as indeed the whole series of fixed Art makes you fall in love.

Cons: Maybe the Microcontrast, but my photographs in Post-Production helps me not to have it. I am not a lover of natural colors and super shot. I love it as it is. It has almost no flaws, sometimes perhaps it does not hook in the dark, but it is rare. I lost fire very rare times. Considering I had a 6D Mark I (the very first 6D, which certainly wasn't lightning to focus).

Opinion: History of my 50mm: Yognuo 50mm f1.8 > Canon 50mm F1.8 STM > Canon 50mm F.1.4 USM > Sigma Art 50mm F1.4 | The quality of the files has changed dramatically throughout (detail, color gamut, sharpness, the WOW effect with each shot). Chromatic Aberrations do not even exist at TA, the detail already at TA is scary! I have no words of how much I am verifying the quality of every Sigma Art I have tried/owned, including the magnificent 105mm F1.4. Of course they are heavy, on this there is no doubt, the micro-contrast, asserte, or does not exist almost at all, but see it, indeed, as a merit, the flat photos in post you can work better: the experience is similar already happens with the LOG or FLAT files, in the camera I already set all FLAT (settings without any emphasis in the Canon parameters) so that I have in post production a greater range of editing. As it happens, in fact, in the LOG files for the video format, the files must be colored, or almost, even if here it is simpler because it is not really a flat, but already has a clearer chromatism. When I go to use my presets in Photoshop RAW Camera or Lightroom Classic or Lightroom on iPad I realize how precious Sigma is in my Color Grading. What you can do with Canon lenses, but much more difficult to give a character that I look for in my shots. I have always loved the melancholic color, a little desaturated, pastel colors, and it is an active part of my current style and ways of post producing and coloring each of my photographs. I love what Sigma Art hunts naturally, without slow defects, aberrations, the flat color science of Sigma and it is what makes it unique and I do not consider it a defect, but a merit for me. Although sometimes it may happen that it does not focus, but it is also the fault of my old and beloved EOS 6D, with the 5D Mark IV it is really difficult not to focus if not in very poor light. But the Sigma on its part is fast, precise and if the fire hooks I challenge you to compete with other L series lenses (EF non RF) of Canon fixed. l 50mm F1.2L USM tested, and 1.4 is not as sharp as the Sigma, although it is a 1.2L (we compare that at TA, the files at f1.2 are pasty and the sharpness loses especially on the edges. The Sigma, despite being an F1.4 is a hypercorrect optics, with many groups of correction lenses and this also justifies the comparison of the actual light that arrives at the sensor which is as if it were compared to a focal length of an F1.6 (F1.5 sometimes) the lenses are slow and have a certain resistance to light. Explained why the much-criticized micro contrast is also missing, Canon 50mm lenses have 1/3 of the lenses, Sigma have those lenses because the engineering of those lenses is perfect, but like all lenses they have defects that can please or displease. But we do not blame dear Sigma, but physics (which is not a human cause, there is a limit to physics) and if you want such a perfect lens you will not have it in other Canon lenses. The Sony G Master series is very similar, but it's Sony, another story, another planet.
