Review on Sigma 50mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens 📸 for Canon - High-performance and Versatile Lens for Canon Cameras by Cha Eunu ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

Sigma has clearly changed for the better, I don’t consider all the old sigma glasses at all, but after the release of 35mm 1.4 Art, everything has changed, and I am very pleased with the company’s new policy, this lens is for those people for whom the show-off from the red ring of Canon’s native lens is not important series L, this glass is for true connoisseurs and creative personalities, this is a magic glass, I note for adequate money, it will allow you to reach a completely new level in photography! Unfortunately, I didn’t try it on crop, but there is a suspicion that it will fit perfectly on crop too . I tested it on my 6d . compared to sigma 35mm 1.4 art - much better, no problems with photos at long distances and open apertures , much smoother blurring, more pleasant bokeh shape, and most importantly, the complete absence of perspective distortions characteristic of FR 35 and below, in general, I decided to sell my 35mm and buy this lens, and it seems that I will not regret it at all . There was no way test in the studio, but I think that there will be no problems on apertures closed to f / 8 -f / 11, but there will be insane sharpness, which is already limited by the size of the camera matrix! Summarizing all of the above, the new Sigma 50mm f / 1.4 Art is a Masterpiece glass that can easily get into trouble with 50 1.2 from kenon (50 1.4 is not a competitor to it), an ideal ratio of price, quality and convenience, I personally recommend it to everyone, read different reviews, look photos taken on it and you will immediately understand everything .

Pros
  • - Very sharp both at distances up to a meter and at 2-3-4 starting from f/1.4. - Quiet, accurate and very fast autofocus, the number of misses is minimal, another thing is to tinker with 1.4 to get close to the depth of field, because it is really a couple of centimeters in total. - Convenient design and materials, excellent focusing ring, the lid itself is also comfortable even with a hood on. - A lot of weight (almost a kilogram), I personally consider this an advantage rather than a disadvantage. - Chromatic aberrations and distortion are imperceptible at all, you don’t even have to edit, the vignette is noticeable only at 1.4, but on the contrary, this gives the frame additional depth. - Gorgeous blur and excellent bokeh. - Great shots even against the sun or in backlight.
Cons
  • - Plastic hood, easy to break. - Lack of dust and moisture protection. - A lot of weight, for someone it can be critical.
