This is the first Sigma 50mm f/1.4 prime lens for 4/3 DSLRs, a tele photo lens in the focal length of 100mm equivalent to portrait lens in medium distance. A superb lens of optical quality and design, fast focus in silent with HSM.
Pros:
- Fast aperature in f/1.4 with beautiful bokeh
- Short lens barrel and well balance of weight by hand-held with camera body
- Fast focus speed in silent with HSM

A Superior lens
I also have the 30mm 1.4 Sigma and I just love these 2 lenses they behave similarly but the 50mm Is probably sharper. Obviously I use the 50 as an 80mm small tele on DX format Nikons. I am a regular newegg customer but I did not buy this lens from newegg, I should have...
Pros:
- Very well built, SUPER SHARP, fast AF (HSM), perfectly balanced on D300
- It is soo much better than the Nikkor 50mm 1.4 that I traded the Nikkor away
- The Bokeh` is (to me) Gorgeous, so just run and get this gem!!
Cons:
- NONE
- well OK perhaps didn't need to be a 77mm filter tread..

Worth Every Penny
Let me start by explaining my score of 4 on image quality. If I had the option I would give it a 4.8 rather than a perfect 5. When the aperture is wide open at f/1.4 images get 'creamy all over'. But with the right light this effect can be absolutely stunning!
Pros:
- Bokeh
- Focus Speed
- Sharpness
Cons:
- 77mm filters

Pros:

Sigma EX: A capable telephoto macro lens
This telephoto macro lens was the first lens I purchased for my DSLR. It was intended for insect macrophotography, and has not disappointed. At around f8, the lens is very sharp; it is softer wide open, but this is not a problem for macros as the depth of field at f2.8 is too shallow anyway.
Pros:
- Sharp image and 1:1 magnification
Cons:
- Clunky focusing system

Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Review
One of the nicest things about Sigma lenses is that they come with a padded pouch, instantly suggesting that the manufacturer feels the lens is worth protecting. Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 is no exception, boasting an enormous front element and a .
Pros:
- Imposing presence
Cons:

For portraits and bokeh this lens is top
This lens has opened some doors for me with its f1.4 capabilities. I was trying to decide between this and the two more affordable canon 50mm lenses. Ultimately I sold myself on this output quality from this lens.
Pros:
- Low Light
- Nice Bokeh
- Rugged
- Sharpness
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Inconsistent focus

Bought this lens for the great bokeh and sharpness. I tried it on Nikon D700 and quiet happy with a result. The glass is heavy and massive ,but the filling is right on.Fast and furious :)

Stunning
I bought this lens mainly for portrait photography. I like it better than the canon version. I checked the reviews and photo samples of this lens and I must say, it's true enough that it is a nice lens.
