Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM -SIGMALUX-

I'm sory... it's fake.
It is not Colombian jungle and I not work for NG - it's just Rancho Texas entertainment park in Puerto del Carmen, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain.

But anyway... Lanzarote is definitely worth to visit. Entire island is UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and you can see there absolutely incredible things (both samples taken with Sigmalux & B+W Pro CPL):

f/1.4

Just got a mint used one and it's nailing focus on my 1Ds. Well chuffed

It's better than my Canon 1.4 in the limited comparisons I've done so far. Time to test on the 7D....

Edit: Anyone else noticed that it's quite a bit wider than the Canon?

Do you mean in terms of field of view? It's certainly physically wider!

I believe I did read somewhere that the Sigmalux is more accurately something like 49mm and the Canon is 53mm. Don't quote me on that though.

My Canon 50/1.4 and my old Pentax-M 50/1.7 have about the same FOV (if there's a difference it's too small for me to see) but the FOV my Sigma is noticeably wider. I'd guess 46 or 47mm.

Interesting! Perhaps I'll test it out against my Nifty.

I forgot to mention that this is at studio/living room distances which is what I use this lens for. Outdoors and focused at infinity they may be more similar in FOV.

From the Digital Picture's review of the Sigma:

"Focal lengths are supposed to be rated at an infinity focus distance, but even at hundreds of feet, the Sigma still frames the scene a similar percentage wider than the Canon lenses. While this is a real difference, I'm not sure it matters if your prime lens frames like 50mm or 46.5mm. It's a small difference."

You can read the whole section down when he is talking about the MFD for the Sigma 50f1.4 and how much it can magnify in macro use.
