50mm is my favorite focal length and I have been waiting DECADES for Nikon to make a good 50mm with autofocus

If they make a 85mm Art, I will order it as soon as it's available as 50mm on a full frame camera is not great for portraits in my opinion where an 85mm on full frame is great for portraits.

In my opinion,it's one of the best 50mm lens on the market!

I recently bought the companion Sigma 70-300mm and am quickly gaining an appreciation for the Art Lens series

it absolutely blows every 50mm out of the water including the 1.2.

It is hands down the best 50mm lens I have used (I have owned the 50L, the Canon 50mm 1.4, Canon 50mm 1.8, and the old Sigma 50mm

If you are a 50mm user like myself don't hesitate one second to buy this awsome gem

This is the best 50mm 1.4 you can get without spending over $1000

1.4 A is an inferior product to our Canon 50mm 1.2 in every way, shape, amd form

(50mm is a good focal length for group portraiture, for head shots 135mm is best.

I have been wanting a fast 50mm for some time.

My need for a fast 50mm lens is primarily for very low light production shooting which usually involves dance from on stage or from the wings

The photos I've seen with the 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm Art lenses are breathtaking

On the meantime we accidentally broke our Canon 50mm 1.2, sent it in to Canon, had it rebuilt and shipped back

The sharpest 50mm I've ever used period.

Amazing 50 mm from Sigma

Awesome and Fast 50mm

I'd gone through some similar issues with my Nikon kit lens, as well as my Tokina 100mm macro lens (when using it as a telephoto).However... now I was faced with an interesting problem.

May be one of the best 50mm Primes on the market the bang for you buck is unmatched making this a must have lens

This 50mm nifty fifty is the sharpest lens that I have in my entire lens collection.

I would recommend this over the Canon 50mm all day long

I have it paired with the Sd Quattro, which being a aps-c sensor this lens equates a 75mm effective focal length

I debated getting the more expensive Canon 50mm

I used it with my APS-C sensor and it was a nice 75mm portrait lens with the crop factor and now using it with my full frame and plan to still use it as a portrait lens, especially for larger families

The BEST 50 mm lens I have ever put on my camera

I would say This is the best Overall 50mm this time around.

For those of you who are looking for a sharp 1.4 50mm lens, this is probably it for you

I have a Sigma 35mm Art that works great, and a Sigma 15mm 2.8 fisheye, also fine.
