Beautiful lens, great build quality. However, it is a little slow on the autofocus, but that's not a huge issue for me. Also, I (very often) get an error message reading that a lens is not connected to the camera. Other than that, it takes beautiful photos!

The copy of the lens that I received did not achieve the resolution (sharpness) that had been reported in published reviews of the lens. Tried it on a full frame and an APS-C size sensor camera. Micro adjusted focus for the lens on each camera. None of these trials produced satisfactory results.

Excellent lens. I have used this lens with both my Canon SL2 and my Canon 5D. It justs gets it. No front or back focus issues with images that are tack sharp. For a third of the price for the 50mm f/1.4 art lens I feel like I got the bargain of the century.

Purchased this the second time after switching from Canon to Nikon. Before doing so, however, I purchased the Tamron 45mm 1.8 VC as an upgrade. I learned that was a mistake. Don’t get me wrong, the Tamron is a great lens optically, but the autofocus is sluggish in low light, and substantially more so when you use the VC. This is a problem because you’re most likely to use the VC feature at low light conditions. Otherwise what’s the point of having it? This Sigma 50mm has no such issue, the autofocus is snappy. Even though it isn’t nearly as well corrected for Chromatic Aberration, and it’s not as sharp as the newer Tamron is at wide open apertures. The autofocus is reliable in low light, which for me outweighs the advantages the Tamron has. Optics become irrelevant when a lens fails to grab focus when you need it to. So this older lens is now in my bag again. I think it’s an incredible value.Read full review

This is an awesome lens, and an essential piece of gear for any serious dlsr filmmaker. The blooms are nice and round (as opposed to the Canon equivalent with it's octagonal blooms), and the wide aperture makes filming in low light a snap with little or no noise in the image. With the aperture open the DOF control is absolutely amazing. It is a heavy lens and more than doubles the weight of the t3i camera body. The motion on the ring is nice and smooth and it works well with a follow focus attachment. Obviously, this is a prime lens, so there's no zoom.
