I bought this lens to upgrade my 50mm 1.8 mkII, unfortunately, this lens isn't considerably sharper, nor does it produce a strikingly different bokeh as advertised. Yes, highlights will be circular instead of having a pentagon shape, but it pretty much end there to my eye. from Amazon.com Yes it's big, yes it's heavy, yes it's expensive, and YES it is better than any other 50mm f1.4 auto focus lenses currently on sale in the market place. If you can't take a half decent photo with this lens then blame yourself, don't blame this lens. from Amazon.com No complaints at all. It's not even as big as I was led to believe by other reviews despite the 77mm thread. Only downside from the 77mm is that it doesn't share the same 72mm polarizer I own for other lenses. That's no big deal though since I primarily use this lens as a portrait lens. from Amazon.com Let me start by saying I have nothing against buying an "off-brand" lens like a Sigma instead of a Canon. I tried two different Sigma 50MM F/1.4 out, I really wanted to like this lens. from Amazon.com Having read multiple reviews from every web site I could find on the most bang for your buck 50mm for canon, I made the leap of faith and purchased this lens at the local shop. This was not one that had been sitting around, because they had just gotten in a new shipment. from Amazon.com This review is three pages long. The first section which is 1 page in length does not cover this lens in particular but rather goes into lens basics such as primes vs. zooms and benefits of wide aperture. from Amazon.com This lens, apart from the price, is exactly what I wanted! I could not be happier. from Amazon.com I bought this lens as my 6th 50mm lens. Granted 3 are Canon mount and the other three are Sony Alpha mount. from Amazon.com Following the success of Sigma 30mm f/1.4, Sigma launches 50mm f/1.4. It is Sigma premium prime lens ($475 street) The build quality of this lens is very sturdy. from Amazon.com I bought this with fears of getting a bad sample, which seem to be rampant if one is to believe what one reads on the Internet. I am glad I took the plunge. I compared it to my old made in Japan 50mm 1.8 and recently purchased 50mm 1.4G. Needless to say I returned the 1.4G and I am selling the 1.8. from Amazon.com
