I love it. AF is awesome. Bokeh is exceptional. Weight is the only downside. It's one heavy monster of a lens.

If I am being perfectly honest I wasn't sure about upgrading from my Sony 50mm 1.8. it was my workhorse lens and I used it for so many situations for shooting wedding video. But 3 weddings in with this lens and I absolutely adore it. The Bokeh is ridiculous. Like wide open at 1.4 it's super creamy with fantastic colors. It's super sharp too. The auto focus on my FX3 is excellent. The mark of a good auto focus lens is following first dances and this lens does it much better than my old 1.8.

Yeah you could buy one of those expensive "Brand names" for an extra $800-$1500, but their not going to give you nearly as much clarity for the extra cost. This lens is one of the best I've owned at this focus length, and you be hard pressed to find anything better at this cost point.

It is a great lens! The photo quality was everything I could have hoped for! I must admit it was on the heavier end of lenses, but it works great!

If you're seeking a lens that epitomizes the fusion of exceptional optical performance, rapid autofocus, and compact design, look no further than the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-mount cameras. This lens is the embodiment of Sigma's commitment to high-quality, professional-grade photography equipment, designed to elevate your artistic expression to new heights.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens is the latest evolution in the esteemed F1.4 series, renowned for its outstanding image quality and creative potential. This lens is tailored exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras, ensuring that it meets the rigorous demands of contemporary photographers who require both portability and exceptional image fidelity.
The optical construction of this lens is nothing short of innovative, featuring 14 elements in 11 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses and 1 SLD glass element. This advanced design effectively minimizes common aberrations such as astigmatism and field curvature, which are beyond the correction capabilities of in-camera software. The result is a lens that delivers edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity, even at its maximum aperture of f/1.4.
Photographers will be captivated by the large and exquisitely rendered bokeh effect, which is a hallmark of the f/1.4 aperture. This lens is engineered to produce images with minimal sagittal coma flare, making it an ideal choice for challenging lighting conditions, such as nightscapes and star photography, where pinpoint light sources are prevalent.
The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens is equipped with a state-of-the-art HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor, ensuring high-speed autofocus that is both responsive and whisper-quiet. This makes it a versatile tool for capturing dynamic scenes, low-light environments, and video work with ease and precision.
Despite its robust performance, this lens boasts a slim and lightweight profile, reflecting Sigma's dedication to creating lenses that are both high-performing and convenient for photographers on the move. The thoughtful design extends to the lens barrel, which features intuitive controls such as a Focus Mode switch, an Aperture ring click switch, an Aperture ring lock switch, and an AFL button for customizable functionality.
Durability is also a key aspect of the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens, with a dust and splash-resistant construction that ensures reliability in diverse shooting conditions. The front element benefits from a water and oil repellent coating, further enhancing the lens's resilience.
In summary, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E, bundled with Hoya 72mm Multi-Coated UV and CPL Filters and a Cleaning Kit, is a professional, reliable, and durable choice for photographers who demand the highest quality in optics and versatility. Whether capturing portraits, street scenes, or detailed close-ups, this lens is designed to help you achieve your best work with its unparalleled expressive performance and usability.
