Opinion:It's the first time I'll leave a review but this is at least dutiful. I bought this lens in full "lockdown cravings" to take off a nice challenge and take a 50mm that would last me forever (more or less like a nice diamond) and was about the top. After trying many of them, including the 50L that however for budgetary reasons I left "on the shelf", the choice fell on the 50 Art, already tried for video on a Red camera. Well... Goodness me. Sensational sharpness even at 1.4, even in some shots I had to reduce it in post because it was absolute, without a smudge. Bokeh splendid, not as wonderful as in the two 85 (1.2 Canon and 1.4 Art) also because of the focal length but still scary. Very solid construction, beautiful also to hold in your hand (I do not understand those who say otherwise ... but have they ever really used it?). Price in my opinion even low for what optics promises and above all maintains (paid new 690 euros near the Amazon River). If really, pulled for the jacket, I should find a defect I would say autofocus: with not perfect light does not hook very well (at least on 6D2) and must be calibrated because it suffers from f/b focus, but already with fine calibration in the machine I solved with a +15. The weight... well, given the images he churns out, you love him unconditionally even though he's got a little bit more "scum." In my humble opinion it is one of the definitive optics, one of the arrival points in this focal length. Zeiss is probably better (never tried) but at what price? Now I brutally started the monkey for 85/135... we hope to be able to silence her. Update. Mounted on Eos R all autofocus problems magically disappear, so this lens is officially and in my opinion FREE OF DEFECTS.
Opinion:I have been using it for several years, first on Canon (5D MK III to 5Ds R) and now on Sony A7R IV (with Sigma adaptor), it is a spectacular lens, extreme sharpness, already elevated to TA. Perhaps one of the best lenses I have used in recent years, even with sony's 61 Mpx has an incredible rendering in detail. Landscape, night photo... and also great for studio portraits, the bokeh isn't great. The only drawback.. the weight..
Pros:Sharpness always and anyway, romantic flare, contrast, precision of fire, almost non-existent chromatic aberrations, excellent MF ring for the search for fire in the video.
Cons:Great for gym
Opinion:I have a canon that I use with mc11 on an a7II. Shoot at 1.4 making the skin crawl. He never misses one. Too bad for the weight, my lady, not so much in use because it is balanced, but in the bag makes a difference. Bokeh great only if the subject is quite detached from the background otherwise nothing special. Recommended if you need absolute precision and take shots of events where you do not have the opportunity to repeat. Typical colors sigma, like, do not like, "do vobis", I do not mind.
Pros:Sharpness already in TA, brightness, speed and silence AF, internal focus, construction and finishes Art, complete with lampshade and transport bag
Cons:Weight, but you already know before you buy it.
Opinion:After having the opportunity to try a specimen long ago, with probable calibration problems that led to af results not perfectly accurate and that had led me to prefer for the footprint and weight the Canon 50mm f. 1.4 USM, which when used at f4-5.6 is just as sharp as this, but that in TA presented the side for CA at the edges and corners at the edges and corners , as well as loss of detail, I decided to give a second opportunity to this view that to my deep amazement, in the specimen purchased by me, seems not to suffer from the problems of AF that I had encountered in the specimen tried at the time. From the first shots taken I noticed an exceptional sharpness already at TA on the whole frame that closed to f4 increases further. The boken is a bit nervous, but not a bother, on the other hand both the Canon 50mm f.1.8 STM and 50mm f.1.4 USM could not do better, indeed. In short, after a first test of a specimen unfortunately not perfect, with this the lightning strike was triggered and since I bought it I can not remove it from one of the two machine bodies that I own (it is addictive) although basic I prefer the use of zoom for their greater versatility. I would point out that the AF is perfect both used with my 5d MK III and with the 6d MK II, which does not digest much of the third-party optics, but with this it did not show any problems of compatibility AF and with both bodies I did not have the need to make micro adjustments on camera or with the dock. The only price to pay for the optical and construction quality is the weight almost three times higher than the Canon 1.4 and the footprint that does not make it go unnoticed, but when you admire the results you understand that it is worth making this little effort. Vote 10 full.
Pros:AF speed, good sharpness to all diaphragms especially at TA, price
Cons:Maybe an anonymous surrender, it's not a 50mm that makes you fall in love
Opinion:The premise: for me the best lens in this focal point is the 58 1.4 G Nikon. This Sigma is a great handyman, the size all in all are acceptable, famous for a yield engraved at 1.4. Perhaps his only flaw as I see it is that it has a cold and anonymous blur, nothing to do with 58 nikon or with the Canon 1.2 L. Of course, you will say, it costs even a third compared to these two. and that's why I promote it. Another Pro to add to the list is that on Eos R (and in general on ML) does not miss a photo at 1.4 I fail to do it on purpose. Both in AF-S and in continuous fire eyes/faces. never had any problems even on 5D4 anyway.
