Alright lens

This is definitely a decent camera for the price. I bought this lens for small venue concerts because of its low light capabilities, except it struggled to focus efficiently in low light settings. This made shooting a bit tricky and somewhat annoying to work with. Will likely be reselling this lens to try something different.

Good product. Good Lens

In general, the lens are good for beginner like me to use. Though it is a little bit heavy, I feel the good image quality can benefit a lot with the size of lens.

Sigma 50mm Art lens

I rented this lens for two photo shoots before I decided to break down and just purchase it. The only knock is that it?s a little heavy. The results of the photos are worth the price!

Very Sharp

I had heard about how sharp this lens is so I bought a used copy of this lens, I was blown away at how sharp it was and how well it worked with the IBIS on my R5. I have other Canon L series EF & RF lenses but this lens is as sharp or even sharper than they are!

It?s perfect

Completely impressed with this lens. I own a LOT of pricey lenses but this one is actually my new go-to wedding video/photo lens. It?s perfect.

Great portrait lens! Awesome for photography!

This lens is amazing for portrait shots! It requires very minimal editing in Lightroom. The 50mm lens is a pretty big lens to carry but the quality is there! This was recommended by my photographer who shoots for a living.

Warranty

There are not many things I buy extended warranties for, but cameras and lenses are vital to my business and expensive to purchase and repair. Warranty and insurance are key as a business owner.

Sigma DG 1.4 50mm Art Lens

So far I am loving this lens. There is a bit of a learning curve from a zoom lens but the results are spectacular! I definitely recommend this lens.

Very happy

Very impressed with the lens? it was much more affordable than LUMIX lenses, but great quality. And the tripod stand that came as part of the bundle is unexpectedly fantastic?I assumed it would be a cheap add on item, but it?s very sturdy, nicely designed.

Amazing Lens

Amazing lens, out performs my canon RF L glass. It would be a 5 star review but the lack of weather sealing limits its use. Sharpest, fastest lens I've used. Its results are incredible when used for documentary work paired with the canon c70 and canon focal reducer.

Cheaper than a Canon 50mm L-series but doesn?t sacrifice quality

This Sigma 50mm is a real gem. The bokeh and compression from the 50mm is just butter. As with my other Art lenses, the thing is built like a rock. I only wish it had IS/OS because at 50mm, introducing shake is a real possibility.

Sigma makes excellent glass and this lens is just as good if not better than the Sony GM.

Great studio lens

All in all I'm happy with this lens. I needed an affordable 50mm after replacing my Canon. While I still prefer the Canon while shooting outdoors the sigma has done a perfect job at studio work. I plan on keeping this as a go to in my kit for a long time

Just ok

Came from using a Canon 50mm. The sigma definitely gets the job done but not at the caliber I would like it too. While it takes great close ups I am not a fan of distance photos. I will keep this lens but unsure of how much I will use it

Passed the test in my view

Admittedly I have been a Canon L series lens snob for some time and have stuck with my trifecta of 2.8 zooms. The Sigma 50 Art was my first foray into legit prime lenses and I am so impressed. In fact, my next purchase will likely be a Sigma 35 Art. Very happy with every aspect of this lens...rugged, beautiful color and detail rendering...the price point...it's all there (and its not an L lens).

A great lens

What a beautiful lens! I can't stop using it and my zoom lens (which is also a quality lens) is sitting idle. I am a student photographer and I did a lot of research before springing for my first prime lens for my Sony A7II, and I have been very happy with this choice. If you don't like the heft of a quality build it may not be for you, but I love it, and the sharpness and speed is fantastic.

Great overall lens

Super sharp lens. I love the rich colors it produces on my A9. Very sturdy, but not too heavy. Quick to focus and very responsive in AF mode. The only lens I use more is the 24mm Art. Perfect for portraits and low-light conditions.

Another great lens from Sigma

Another great lens from Sigma. It has become my staple for all my lenses in my bag. I have never had any issues with the quality of the lenses and the turnout of photos taken. The sigma lenses are a tad bit heavier but I think this is due to the quality of the lenses. The pictures are crisp and give much more than other lenses that I have. They are top of their game.

Great package! Everything you need to protect the glass. Great depth, color and autofocus for video and photo. Not very heavy either.

AMAZING 50mm lens

I'm so glad I purchased this lens. I have a Nikon D750 and wanted to upgrade my current 50mm lens. This Sigma lens is much beefier and made of quality glass vs plastic like my old one. It worked amazing right out of the box and didn't require any calibration. No focusing issues either. The images I'm taking are definitely a step up from what I was able to do on my previous Nikon 50mm lens. Also loved the quick service from Adorama and the extras that came with the lens. BUY THIS LENS you will not regret it.

FEATURED REVIEWS

50mm Heaven

By Stanley C.

This lens was the only one missing from my arsenal. If you want to go buy the overpriced name brand lens then go ahead but you are wasting your money. This lens will outperform the competition hands down.

Sharp and beautiful lens!

By BAILEY I.

Love the sharpness of this lens! The image quality looks so good! Lens came in perfect condition!

Why settle for anything less than the best when it comes to your photography equipment The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens for Canon EF is a game-changer in the world of professional photography. This lens is a part of Sigma's highly acclaimed Global Vision series, specifically designed for artists and creatives who demand superior optical performance to bring their vision to life.

The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens is equipped with Sigma's signature Hyper Sonic AF Motor and an advanced AF algorithm. This combination ensures not just rapid autofocus, but also a smooth and virtually silent operation. The full-time manual focusing control allows you to fine-tune your shots for ultimate precision.

The lens features an advanced optical design that guarantees pinpoint resolution and a beautiful out-of-focus aesthetic. The molded glass aspherical element effectively combats sagittal coma flare, ensuring crystal clear images even at the wide f/1.4 aperture. This lens minimizes vignetting, color blur, and distortions, setting the stage for stunning bokeh and impressive shallow depth of field results.

Incorporating three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens delivers exceptional clarity, sharpness, and contrast, regardless of the focus point or aperture. The large 85.4mm diameter of the lens ensures unmatched peripheral brightness, particularly with larger apertures, resulting in more clarity and detail in every corner of your frame.

Each lens element is coated with a Super Multi-Layer Coating to eliminate lens flare and ghosting, providing contrast-rich, color-neutral photos, even in challenging backlit conditions. The innovative floating system refines focus by adjusting the distance of the glass elements, allowing for a minimal focusing distance of 1.3'.

Constructed with Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, this lens is designed to withstand varied temperatures and environments. The brass-made bayonet mount ensures durability, while the rubber-fitted lens hood guarantees a snug fit. For those who like to stay updated, this lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock for lens adjustments and firmware updates.

In essence, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens for Canon EF is the perfect blend of technical excellence and artistic flair, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in photography.
