I don't expect anthing better for a 50mm lense. The image quality is perfect and the weight is totally fine for me. I tried day and night shooting with fixed 1.4 and all images are good

Fantastic new DG DN!

AF is great, although I have seen other comments on the contrary. On my SL2s it is smooth and quick. The re-design and the new line of these L/E mount DG DN ART are great value all around. I compared it to my Leica APO 50mm SL... Yes, there is a difference and the Leica build and color are exceptional, but the AF in the Sigma is quicker and it is a stop faster with the f1.4 for about a quarter of the price. That said, the results SOOC with the APO are just exceptional. But as an everyday do everything for a great price, the DG DN ART is a great value and holds its weight.

Amazing Lens!

Best 50mm for L mount

Great lens. Nice 3d pop, rendering, sharpness wide open. The vignetting works great for portraits, I have zero complaints on image quality. I just wish it was smaller, like the sigma 24mm dg dn, or the 85mm dg dn, but still not a large lens, balances well on my Panasonic S5. Only con, it's not as fast in AF as the 85 dg dn, which surprised me considering all the marketing around how fast this lens' AF is.

Sharp as a machete!

These sigma primes are no joke. I can't live without the 35, 50 & 85. The sharpness and shallow DOF have seriously improved our image quality over zooms (which we still use when needed). -Fx3 & FX6 user

Sharp as I had hoped

The sigma 50 1.4 DGDN is an absolute must for a wedding photographer . Partner it with a Sony a7iv and there is nothing that will stand in the way of you achieving Tack sharp images with outstanding bokeh even with fast moving clients .
