Sigma 311101 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon, Black

Product Information

Sigma's new sd Quattro H camera carries the company's largest-ever Foveon sensor with a claimed 51MP of equivalent resolution. This is subject to the value of the additional products not exceeding the value of the qualifying product. Once again it offers a step-up from the cheaper models and was also preferable to Canon and Nikon’s premium standard lenses in our tests.

but they are following a track so there aren't any surprises as to where they are going to be when you hit the shutter button.Regarding build you have to weigh up (pun intended) the larger seize and heavier weight of the Sigma against its use of metal in the lens’s outer construction which gives it a feeling of very solid construction. She sat down with us recently to speak about her work, what inspires her to go out into the wilderness at night, and how preparation is the key to success.

If you plan to use the RAW files, keep in mind that there currently isn’t a lens profile available for the RF 50mm 1. The focus rings of the Sigma and EF lens are somewhat stiffer than that of the RF lens but all three are pleasant and accurate to use.This 50mm prime has a particularly complex optical layout for a ‘nifty fifty’, based on no less than 14 elements in 11 groups. Just look at our results pages: the Otus is sharper in the far corners, is better at avoiding lateral chromatic aberrations, and suffers from less coma and virtually no field curvature. This lens features aspheric lens elements and an optimized power distribution to minimize distortion from the center of the frame all the way to the edges. Unfortunately the Sigma’s wide-open performance in the center drops towards the corners even of an APS-C sensor. They are nothing like a Zeiss 21 - perhaps not a fair comparison - not quite as good as a well set up Fuji X100s 50mm and, dare I say it, not even as sharp as my Canon 24-105 at 50mm.

A Super Multi Coating has been applied to lens elements, too, to reduce flare and ghosting for higher contrast and color fidelity.

So it’s the best standard lens with AF under 2000 USD, but what if you can stretch even higher and you’re also willing to manually focus? DG HSM Lensis a fast standard-length prime designed to achieve high optical performance through the incorporation of both three Special Low Dispersion glass elements and one molded glass aspherical element. generally has less loCA but compared to the Sigma suffers a bit from focus-shift and the resulting coloration plus astigmatism. We noticed some ‘onion ring’ effect with the DG lens in defocused lights and bright spots but this is much more minimal in the DN lens.
