![]() ![]() There are variations to this, but in my usage, I would primarily use a 50mm lens in Ai-Servo, probably 90% of the time.Īnd so came my second copy. Ai-Servo recognises any movement and adjusts focus constantly to ensure whatever it is I am focusing on (generally, the nearest eye) is tracked and locked in perfect focus. However, with a lens such as a 50mm f1.4, I would generally use it in Ai-Servo mode as the Depth of Field is so tiny, any movement by me or my subject would cause the image to be soft. No problems what so ever, it was everything I hoped it would be. I hoped the 50mm art big brother of it could basically be the same lens as the 35mm, just with an extra 15mm.ġ/400th, f1.6, ISO 200 - The Shireburn Arms, Hurst Green, Clitheroe, Lancashire My experience with the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art was that this lens quickly became my most used lens (and still is), stunning performance at all apertures and I can genuinely say I love that little lens to pieces. The Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art got me interested when it promised razor sharp images at f1.4, something which none of my previous 50’s had been able to deliver. So I guess you could say that I have tried most 50mm lenses on the market today. I also very briefly owned a Canon 50mm f1.4 USM lens which was actually worse than the cheap plastic 1.8 version. I also owned a Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX HSM lens for a short while which I will never forget as being perhaps the most annoying, frustrating, sometimes wonderful but more often terrible lens I have ever owned. As with most photographers, I had a brief flirt with a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 lens which I must have owned 3 or 4 versions of throughout the years. I loved the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art and also the Canon 85mm f1.2 L USM Mark II, but I felt the 50mm “gap” was a space that didn’t need filling, so wasn’t really interested in it until the Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art was announced. Prior to this lens, I had not been using a 50mm in my wedding photographs arsenal. I knew I wanted one, so pre-ordered one to get it on its release date. ![]() ![]() I was excited about its release and had read countless previews about how good the lens should be when released. 1/800th, f1.2, ISO 100 - The Villa, Wrea Green, Preston, Lancashire ![]()
