The Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM ART is a quite awesome tele-zoom lens for portraits - it is very sharp in the image center and it has a very good bokeh. However, at least technically it has its weaknesses. The outer image field is good but it stays short of brilliant.

I want to say I love this lens.It is amazing no doubt.The only reason for 4 stars is cz of how heavy this baby is.If ur using a tripod or mono pod ur sorted which I think is the way this lens is built.But if ur going to be moving around a lot its quite a work out.

There have already been a number of reviews online of this lens, most praising the clarity and sharpness of the images it can produce, and so far I can't fault them on those points. It is crisp, fast and silent.

It's a bright lens, maintaining an f/1.8 aperture throughout its range, that makes no compromises on image quality compared with shooting prime lenses. That requires quite a bit of glass, and when coupled with a tough build you've got a big, hefty lens. It omits image stabilization and is on the pricey side, but optical performance is superb. It's an excellent option if you're in the market for a wide-aperture telezoom for your APS-C SLR. Design The 50-100mm F1.8 ($948.05 at Amazon) is a big lens. It measures 6.7 by 3.7 inches (HD), weighs 3.3 pounds, and supports 82mm front filters.
