In a world where there's an always-on march of forward progress driven by the notion that bigger is better, I find it refreshing to see that at least one company is keeping things simple.
Sigma is rumored to be releasing three new primes in the coming months: a 24mm, 85mm and 135mm. These would add to an already amazing set of standard prime lenses for full frame cameras, the superb 35mm f/1.4 and the 50mm f1.4. And it's that 50mm that I've been positively loving for the past month and is our focus today.
Nikon users with a thing for exceptional third party lenses rejoice, because pre-orders for the super-sharp Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens are finally shipping.
The first reviews have been clear: the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art series lens delivers quality on par with the exceptional $4,000 ZEISS 55mm f/1.4 Otus. That's no small feat, but just how impressive that fact was revolved entirely around what the company decided to price the lens. Well the answer is finally official, and it's going to blow some minds.
You'll be able to get Otus-quality PLUS autofocus for, get this, only $950!
Just days after publishing their glowing review of the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art series lens that ranked it leaps and bounds ahead of the Canon and Nikon competition, SLRgear finally got their hands on the ZEISS Otus for comparison.
And it seems ZEISS will have to work hard to justify the rumored price difference between those two lenses...
Rumors regarding the much-anticipated Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art lens have been coming in hard and fast. Touted …
We know Sigma's recently-announced 50mm f/1.4 Art Series lens is supposed to be good, great even. In fact, it's supposed to be so good that it competes on the same level as the ZEISS Otus that we've heard so much about (and may or may not be reviewing as I type this).
The question on everybody's mind, then, is "how much will this beast cost?" Thanks to an Australian website, we now have an idea.
It's a good year for glass at CES in Vegas. First Samsung debuts its first premium 'S' lens, then Fuji comes out with the 56mm f/1.2R, and now Sigma is joining the fray by releasing two new lenses: an all-new 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art series lens and a significantly updated 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Macro lens.
