Opinion:This is my first review. I review this lens because he is my ''handyman'' and now I know him quite well. Always used only in nature shots (photographer especially lightning) I can only say that it is an authentic bomb used with D850. Focus always in Live View (during the day) because, despite being calibrated with the Sigma dock, on three focuses, I am wrong one ..... However, for the use I make of it, it is of little interest. At night, manual focus, if it is perfect, you can crop endlessly (always with D850). At open apertures (from 2.8 down) it loses some sharpness at the edges.
Cons:Heavy to be a 50mm, unbalanced on small bodies, AF not perfect on SLR
Opinion:Used for a period, I came from 50 Zeiss planar f/1.7, Canon 1.8 STM and 1.4. The quality is there, it can be seen and lifted. It is heavy but not intolerable since it is compact. On a body type 5D fits us perfectly and does not unbalance. Optically it is perfect, very correct and the blur is quite neutral. Give images that look like Photoshop: a sticker on a blurred background. On Canon SLRs, however, the AF is not consistent, it is not always precise and in case of movement of the subject it is not reliable. I preferred the 50L which, strangely, is also more reliable on the AF side.
Opinion:I'm not very good at doing the reviews, especially the technical ones, but I have this lens for about 1 month and every time I use it is spectacular, it creates real masterpieces for someone like me accustomed to the kneaded photos of the canon 17-40 and the canon 35 f1.4 the sharpness of this lens is fantastic real colors and microcontrast create an intriguing mixture we hope that continuing to use it does not end up surprising me
Pros:Stunning sharpness already at 1.4, The particular color rendering, contrast
Cons:Exaggerated weight for a 50, wrapped autofocus but in reality and a back focus problem
Opinion:Excellent lens for yield and quality. The high microcontrast, the out-of-focus fire transition zones are free from aberrations. The weight seemed too much to me especially when I carry the 24-70 and 70-200 with me. Many say that autofocus problems not to be confused with the front/back focus. Once calibrated well with the appropriate duck the problem does not exist. Confusion is often made between the two. The autofocus is very fast, it works very well. obviously the AF fine calibration must be done. The Sharpness is higher than the 35mm art. when I work in the evenings, in the premises this 50 does not detach from the camera body is really nice especially if mounted on dense sensors takes full advantage of the potential offered by an optics like this. Sigma with the art line has marked an era of optics still unsurpassed if known and exploited well. Of course I still recommend the purchase. If adapted they also work well on the mirrorless system even if sigma has made new optics.
Opinion:Used for a few months on Sony A7III and I can safely say that it is an excellent lens, sharp precise and the Bokeh of Sigma Art is wonderful though... In difficult light conditions the autofocus begins to suffer a lot, a continuous front / back focus that makes you lose precious moments and on the battery I noticed a considerable consumption compared to the GM optics (a good 30-40% more), probably due to the "defect" just reported; Weight and size are quite important and should not be underestimated for certain situations.
