    Sigma 50mm F1.4 ART DG HSM Lens for Nikon

    • Excellent control over CA (better than CZ 50 1.4).5) Great value for the $
    • Excellent value for your money.
    • So the Art lens gets left behind; a lens not in the bag is a lens not being used; a lens not being used, for the common person, has questionable value
    • Well, I guess I valued sharpness and detail above bokeh for
    • Having bought and sold MANY lenses in my years photographing, the Sigma 50/1.4 Art is one of the best values for the money that I have come across to date
    • The Nifty Fifty is an awesome value lens, especially if shot
    • I've been using this lens for a couple of days now, and from a technical/objective standpoint, it's an optically fantastic lens and a great value compared to its direct competition.
    • It can be found on sale at a sub $800 price point if you have the patience to wait for that occasion, and at that price it is an even better value--although I would pay $1K for this lens all day and not feel bad about it.
    • Also a fantastic value for the money
    • In many cases I find their competing products better and most certainly a better value
    • I had to return the first lens that I got because changing the AF fine tuning value fixed the issue for f1.4, but made it worse for f2.8 and above
    • And it's very inexpensive - nearly as good as the Zeiss Otus 55mm f1.4 but with autofocus and at
    • Beautiful lens, accurate focus, sharp as the 35mm 1.4
    • 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.
    • Chances are you'll find that some of your lenses aren't performing quite as well as they could. :
    • Just keep in mind that F1.4 on a full frame body will have significant out of focus blur, so the picture may not have come out as sharp as you'd like due to this reason
    • The bokeh is 2nd to none and the sharpness blows my 24-70mm L out of the water.
