Description
L9) 50MM F1.4EX F/NIK DG HSM Lens Designed for Nikon digital SLR cameras, the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 prime lens is ideal for a wide range of applications, from landscape photography to portraiture. The lens offers an extra-large aperture that guarantees superior peripheral brightness, helping create sharp images with high contrast even at the edges. The molded glass aspherical lens, meanwhile, perfectly corrects for coma aberration to ensure that images look sharp and crisp against a nicely blurred background. And thanks to the integrated Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), the lens enjoys a silent, high-speed autofocus system. Other features include a super multilayer lens coating that reduces flare and ghosting, a minimum focusing distance of 17.7 inches, and a maximum magnification of 1:7.4. As with all Sigma lenses, this 50mm lens carries a one-year warranty.

At the price this lens goes for on the used market, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal. It gets outshined by the newer Art model and by the much more compact nikkor 1.8g (for those reasons), but this lens is really wonderful. Very sharp with good color and a soft bokeh; the ex version produces excellent picture quality. The max aperture of 1.4 gives more headroom for adjustment to iso and shutter speed. I have read that the canon version of this lens has autofocus issues, but I haven't noticed anything like that on my nikon model. Autofocus isn't the most quiet but it works quickly. The only mark against the sigma is that it's twice the size of the equivalent nikkor lens. If image quality is your top priority, then get the sigma. I have had no issues using this lens on a nikon d5300.

First, I'm not a professional photographer, but a mere hobbyist. I have done extensive research on the lens and knew that it was a gamble with the AF focus being a hit or miss with this Sigma product. I was also debating between getting this over the Nikon 50mm 1.4G. Although I don't know how the latter performs over the former, I can honestly say that I am very pleased with the Sigma. I didn't have any back/front focus issues whatsoever. I used a focus test chart: [...] ...and followed the instructions accordingly. Perhaps the Sigma focus issues are corrected in the later product releases than its initial release...who knows. Granted, the AF had a few minor issues in tracking at night more so than in the day, but I have experienced the same case in other lenses. Good: - Fast lens - HSM is quiet and focuses rather quickly (i.e. much quieter and faster compared to my friend's Canon EF 1.8 lens on a EOS 20D...as a basis for comparison, if acceptable) - Bokeh is exceptionally smooth; I haven't seen any distracting sharp edges in the out of focus regions under reasonable settings. Bad: - The edges are slightly soft at maximum aperture, but gets incredibly sharp at f/1.8 and above. - Lens are larger and heavier than prime lens of equivalent specs; this may intimidate your subjects. Overall: Quality lens! I am currently using this with a Nikon D90 camera and the images are absolutely stellar. I highly recommend.

As you'd expect of an f1.4 lens, I bought this for one purpose: shooting wide-open and creaming out the background. And this lens delivers. First off, I'll start with the build quality. This lens is much larger than the other 50mm lenses available on the market. As a result, it just feels better on the camera. If you're using a heavy D3 or a D700 with a battery grip, a one inch long, 52mm filter lens doesn't feel right, to me at least. But considering this is around 3 times the size with a 77mm filter, it does a much better job of balancing the camera body. The autofocus on the 51 point-AF Nikon bodies is fantastic. It is lightning fast and tack sharp so long as there is enough available light. However, I have noticed that if the light levels drop, it tends to hunt a little, unless you focus perfectly on your subject's nose using the single-point AF. I have heard of Sigma's front-focus quality control issue on this lens, but the sample I got was perfect. Sigma did a wonderful job constructing this lens. The 9-bladed diaphragm delivers dreamy bokeh, on par with lenses 4 times more expensive. Even harsh elements are less noticeable than they are when shot with the Nikkor 50mm F1.4, 70-200, or 24-70. As I said, this is my go-to lens for anything bokeh. Stopped down, this lens is still very sharp, though I don't use it for that purpose because the nikkor 70-200 is sharper corner to corner. But that wasn't what this lens was necessarily designed for anyway.

I will start this review off by saying that I have this lens mounted on a Nikon D700. I've owned several 50mm primes, and know that there are a lot of in depth reviews comparing them, so I won't get into all that. Before I bought this lens I was using the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G af-s lens. This is a beautiful lens! However, I had bought the Sigma 85mm 1.4 and loved it so much that I wanted to look into their 50mm as well. I love creamy smooth backgrounds, and am always on the lookout for a lens (for the right price) that can give fantastic results! Just as I experienced with the Sigma 85mm, this lens was gorgeous and sharp right out of the box! I had no issues with auto focus, and I LOVE shooting wide open. The bokeh this lens creates is beautifully smooth, and the lens has great color and contrast. I do prefer the bokeh of the sigma 50mm lens to my nikon. I know for some this isn't everything, but to me it is. I don't feel like this lens is bulky or heavy. It feels great on my D700, and seems to balance it out nicely. If you are considering this lens, I say go for it! You won't be disappointed!

I dont have too much to add that hasn't already been said by other reviewers. I bought this lens after reading the online reviews for both this lens and the two Nikor versions of this prime lens. The sigma version got consistently better reviews than the Nikon version and I have been very pleased with my past purchases of Sigma EX lenses so I ordered it and am so glad I did. I also own the sigma 105mm Macro for a sony and the 24-70mm EX DG Macro zoom for a Nikon and am very pleased with both lenses. Pro's and Cons are as follows: Pro's 1.) The best bokeh I have ever seen, rich, creamy, perfect. 2.) Sharpness, at f1.4 if you really blow up the image there is just a little softness at F1.8 on up this lens is absolutely tack sharp. 3.) Color and contrast nice rich saturated colors and great contrast just superb with my other lenses I usually have to tweak color, saturation and contrast a bit when editing to get them to my liking with this lens images are perfect as is all I have to do is a bit of cropping and maybe resize if posting online of emailing. 4.) Focusing is very precise and quiet with the HSM, I cant even hear it focus. 5.) This lens is fast, great for handheld shots in low light, and even very low light such as candle-lit subjects with a tripod or rest, I can sometimes even pull of candle light handheld if I am very steady. 6.) The focal length makes it the perfect portrait lens when used with a body with a APS-C sized sensor(75mm equivalent), Looks and balances perfectly on my D300. 7.) Build quality is superb, unlike the Nikon there is not much if any plastic on this lens, metal and glass like in the old days, this is a solid lens. Con's 1.) The only con I can even think of is maybe price, this is one of the few cases where the Sigma version of a lens is actually a little more expensive than the Nikor glass. But IMO this is a better lens than the Nikon and worth the few extra bucks. Usually the Sigma EX lenses are one half to one third the price of the Nikors. Jeff Update: After using this lens for a couple of weeks now and putting it through its paces, I wanted to add that I have not experienced the front focus issues that some other reviewers have. I have tested the lens wide open F1.4 from the minimum focus distance to about 8 feet and every time focus has been consistently spot on. This is with a D300 with no AF tweaking. I continue to be impressed by the sharpness, color and contrast of images taken with this lens. So far I love it a truly outstanding lens.

I am just getting back to SLR photography after giving it up 10+ years ago. Currently using this lens on a Nikon D300s and so far the bokeh, the details, the precision is very nice. So using it more as a portrait type lens but can be quite versatile. See the photo uploaded here for results. ****************************************************** UPDATE: June 9, 2011 After using this for a full year, I have to say that this is an excellent lens ... when it is in focus. I begun noticing some images are not 100% in focus ... which I thought it was not an issue for a while ... now I think it can be an issue as I can repeat the problem. See the pictures in the comments below. Essentially, if I focus on infinity (e.g. rotate it manually to infinity) and have it auto-focus on something close by, I can make it not focus. I purchased this last year during a father's day promotion and got a good deal. Would I recommend this lens again - yes. I gave it a 5 stars originally and now brought it down to 3. ****************************************************** Update: May 23, 2012 After using this for almost 2 years now, I have made to decision to send it back for service. Obtained a test sheet and managed to demonstrate that regardless what I do with AF Fine Tune - which is an important feature with my Nikon D300s - I could not get it to focus sharply in the middle if my aperture is set to f/2.8 or below. It seems that larger apertures the lens just could not focus. See the lines and settings on AF Fine Tune and resulting test images here: [...] Planning to send it back for service.

I ordered 2 copies of this lens just to make sure I get a good copy after having a bad experience purchasing an ebay copy with rubberized paint and returning it for missing focus by many feet and fine tune to the max., both new copies were the Smooth Paint and had the print "Works with D5300" on the box. I tested both copies and were the same, both decent. I did not have to fine tune them. This lens is SHARP if it hits focus, but you need to be careful not to move as well because 1.4 is very shallow, I used it on a Nikon D600 and D800 and D750. The D600 will miss focus 1 our of 3 times, and hunts like crazy but it does that with all af-s lenses i own, even nikon ones. Using it on a D800 is much better and will hit focus instantly all the time same goes with D750. Did I mention that this lens is sharp?? I posted some baby photos shot from F1.4 to F2 w D600 on Facebook and even for facebook photos go, they were sharp and stirred up a conversation. Focus Speed - 3x faster then Nikon's 50mm 1.4G - yeah its fast, it feels as fast or faster then the Nikon 70-200 F2.8 VR2, but use it on the 51point af system for accuracy. Distortion - It tends to distort a bit more then Nikon's 50mm F1.8D. Color - I like the colors better on this lens then any other 50mm, they are more neutral possibly due to coating. Color Fringing - at 1.4 sometimes too much, but its better on the Smooth Paint Copy then Old Copy. Also depends on the situation your shooting. 5 Stars because Pros outweigh the Cons

I just received my Sigma 50mm 1.4 for my nikon today and already love the picture quality and the focus speed. I was really hesitant at first to order this lens, I read all the bad reviews of how this lens will either back focus or front focus, I went ahead and bought it anyways. Before I actually purchased it did I called Sigmas tech support and got to someone without having to go through all the automated stuff. The Tech support was very nice and informative. I told them how I was hesitant to buy it being that everyone says it will not focus properly and they informed me of all the stuff people say on the internet isn't always true and also explained to me the functionality of the lens. Sigma also told me they do a free service to any customer who might need there lens calibrated along side there camera and that the turn around time for them is only one day. I bought the lens and tried out the focusing right away and it is spot on at f1.4, there is such small shallow DOF at that f-stop and maybe people aren't used to that, either way this lens is a steal of a deal and would not hesitate to buy another sigma lens again.
