Overview

The Canon EF mount Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Lens is 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. These elements, coupled with an advanced optical design, work to minimize sagittal coma flare and chromatic aberrations in order to provide high image sharpness and clarity. The lens’ large diameter and floating system also help to correct for vignetting to ensure maintained peripheral brightness. A Super Multi Coating has been applied to lens elements, too, to reduce flare and ghosting for higher contrast and color fidelity.

A Hyper Sonic AF Motor, along with an optimized AF algorithm, produces quiet, smooth, and fast autofocus performance that benefits this lens’ use in a wide variety of situations. This AF motor also permits full-time manual focusing control for refined precision by simply turning the focus ring at any time.

As part of the Art line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens’ is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.

Avery M. ★★★★★

Sharpness wide open surprised me even after reading the reviews—the detail in my portraits is incredible. The focus ring has a smooth, damped feel that makes manual adjustments a pleasure.

James ★★★★★

The bokeh from this thing is unreal—that f/1.4 just melts backgrounds into creamy blobs, and the SLD glass keeps everything tack sharp even wide open. Mounted it on my Canon body and the autofocus latches on fast enough for candids.

Eli T. ★★★★★

The autofocus on this lens is ridiculously fast, but what really sold me is how the three Special Low Dispersion glass elements keep the bokeh creamy and fringing almost nonexistent at f/1.4. I've shot a full wedding with it and every frame is tack sharp, even wide open. It's heavy, sure, but the bu
