Cons:Every now and then he suffers from Front/Back focus with little light
Opinion:Optics that I would never change and replace, absurd sharpness already in T.A., the weight is not so excessive and you can manage quietly, the construction is solid and well done, really superlative optics, the only flaw (but you know) the focus is not lightning fast (on Sony A7ii) and with little light every now and then it struggles to find the focus point , I honestly do not consider it such a persistent defect and that makes you hate the lens, the price in relation to quality is in my opinion perfect looking at what the competition offers. I think it's one of the best (if not the best) optics I've ever had.
Cons:for now not found, weight is not a problem for conscious use.
Opinion:I compare the nikon 50 1.8 G, excellent lens, but the sigma 50 1.4 differs mainly in the absence of distortion, it is as if it were a 60 mm for narrow portraits. It has less nasone effect. You buy it to use it at 1.4 although in full-length portraits the edges lose too much to 1.4, but recover very well at 1.8 even at the edges. It is the right lens to use for interior portraits with little light and limited space. If on a trip I had to use only one lens I would take away this. For autofocus, for now I have calibrated in the car at 1.5 meters and it seems to me that it is fine even at greater distances without performing the fine calibration with the dedicated dock
Pros:Excellent quality, sharpness, autofocus precision absence of vignetting
Cons:the weight possibly but if you want this quality there are not many alternatives
Opinion:I've been posseggo this lens for a few months now and I've been extensively tested in numerous fashion, commercial, portrait, distillife, industrial photo shoots, in any situation it has a crazy sharpness all over the frame and a cleaning in the shot, without vignetting and chromatic aberrations that has nothing to do with other lenses. I used it on the D750 and came from Nikon 50mm 1.8 D and 50mm 1.8G which I still own and have nothing to do with it despite being good lenses. The only disadvantage if you can say so is footprint and weight, in the sense that in certain situations I understand a more compact and discreet lens can be more comfortable, for 90% of the work on official services this gives you an extra gear. Highly recommended
Pros:Sharpness to all diaphragms, robustness and mechanical construction, blurry, chromatic rendering, reliability and constancy of focus, held to parasitic reflections and flares.
Cons:Weight and size, AF calibration need with USB Dock
Opinion:Used on Nikon D4 and two Nikon D 810s. Crisp always in the center, even at full opening, with very good edges, which become very sharp beyond F 2.8, it has gradual transition from fire to blurry, which is soft, chromaticly neutral, the AF is very precise and reliable, but I had to calibrate it with the USB Dock for a slight frontal fire error, but it is a simple, easy and short job. It holds direct strong light well, does not have serious problems of parasitic reflections or flares. I compared it with my Zeiss Milvus 50 mm F2 Macro Planar and chromaticly they are very similar, sharpness better sigma to large openings, especially at the edges. The lens is very heavy and cumbersome, but it makes you forgive gigantism with an excellent image always.
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.
