Saw pics you took with both Canon 50 1.2 and Sigma 50 1.4 and I think the Canon rendition is definitely better, and sharper wide open too. What do you think ?

IMO, sigma 50 1.4 wins in terms of value. I find the Sigma to be sharper then the Canon wide open, stopped down they are virtually the same lens. The thing the Sigma doesn't have is the Canon 50L look to it, some images taken with the 50L wide open have a 3D effect to them.

I used to shoot Sigma 50 1.4 before, the focusing accuracy is quite horrible as it shifts between its distances and lacks consistency. Besides that they do have different looks. The Sigma bokeh is really smooth and buttery but the Canon bokeh looks a bit more exciting to me.

Yea I used to own both too when I used to have a 5D2. The Canon focused better and had its distinctive bokeh. Image quality-wise I found little to no difference. The Sigma AF drove me nuts.

Yeah, I guess it really depends on the copy. I own 1 sigma, but have owned 2 Canon 50L's and the Sigma beats the Canons in terms of focusing, sharpness, and bokeh. I will admit I like the 3D look that canon has but for 50mm, sigmas bokeh is way smoother. I could settle for either bokeh though, but I think technically speaking and valuewise the sigma would be the winner.

The 50L does have something that makes it stand out (maybe that red ring... :lol:).

I think that they are almost identical
