Sigma 50mm f1,4 focus test

Lol, the AF sounds like someone is about to run out Slurpee.

It is actually pretty noisey... lol I played with one not too long ago.

Which one would you guys say is the better lens..this one or the Nikon 50mm f/1.4g?  Maybe the Nikon produces sharper images, but not as great bokeh?

I'm a newbie.Can that focus problem be fixed what everyone is talking about? Or you'll have to be a lucky person who buys a newer and fixed edition of the Sigma?

[Luftenburger]

I don't know about a focus problem, I don' have any problems with mine, this lens is out for some time now and i think they've probably fixed this problem. The seller will probably replace it if you get one with this problem...

Yes the focus problem can be fixed, but you do have to send your body and the lens in for calibration at sigma's repair center. I myself just bought this lens taking a risk for the focus problem, but, i got no focus problem and on the test chart i used the focus was +-0.5cm, at 300% magnification. The lens is amazing, get it, you won't regret.

Yeah, it's good enough. Tomorrow I will order the 50mm 1.4. I already ordered the Sigma 28mm 1.8

How would you compare the AF speed and accuracy to Canon L lenses? I am seriously consider getting this lens among a few others.

[Luftenburger]

well, it's not as quiet or as fast as a good L lens, it's close but not as good. But the Canon 50mm 1,4 isn't a L lens, so I would say they are quite equal. But the canon lens is a design from 1993 and it hasn't changed from then, it's a good design but still not as good as the Sigma.

Thanks Luftenburger! This is perfect!
