This is a large aperture prime lens with a standard focal length of 50mm, ideal for all digital SLR cameras. This lens has superior peripheral brightness even at the maximum aperture and corrects a possible sagittal coma flare. This lens is perfectly suited for a wide range of subjects enabling outstanding, sharply defined images against a nicely blurred background. The fast, F1.4 aperture makes this lens desirable for use with Digital SLR cameras. This lens effectively becomes an 80mm medium telephoto lens on digital cameras with APS-C size image sensors. The optimum optical design and molded glass aspherical lens elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting. Superior optical performance is also ensured throughout the focusing range. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") and has maximum magnification of 1:7.4. It creates a very attractive blur, even when a small aperture is used.

This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focus override.

Standard lens with large maximum aperture of F1.4.

Great lens compared to Canon! Top Pick

"Very good lens with many advantages. Let me start by saying that 1) yes it is heavier (relative to the Canon 50mm f/1.4) and 2) it has difficulty focusing in very dark environments.However, I like the weight b/c it feels sturdier and it is a bigger lens (77mm filter to reduce vignetting). If weight is really a concern, then go with the Canon, but the gear that I use are a Canon 500d, battery grip, and 430ex spee..." Read Full Review »

Great "MANUAL" focus lens

"If you want to take your chances on focusing issues, then buy it. I purchased this lens, and it would not consistantly focus properly. I sent it in for service at sigma, who by the way, suggested it may be my 40D that is out of spec. They really didn't seem too eager to service it, and where a little cocky about it. I got the lens back with the same focus issues. I have since bought the 7D with af adjust. I dial..." Read Full Review »

"I could not be happier with this lens. I have been watching for reviews since it was first announced and then became available, but I eventually became impatient and took the plunge anyway. I already owned the Sigma 30/1.4 and was very happy with that, so this seemed like a low risk.

"Fantastic lens. This is a solid, well-built lens. At times, I think the focus is a little slow. However, I am comparing my experience to Canon L lenses and this lens is way cheaper than the 1.2. I would highly recommend this lens if you are looking to step up above the Canon 1.4, but not spend t …" Read Full Review »

"Campfire and night fishing photography has been one of my passions for forty years. With my Canon F1N camera I used the 50mm f1.2L and the 85mm F1.2 Aspherical. With my Canon 40D I am using the Sigma 30mm F1.4 and 50mm F1.4 HSM lenses. They are a great team, and the auto focus helps my aging eye …" Read Full Review »
