50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A review by Marc Lebryk

Here at Sigma, we love seeing lens reviews from photographers and bloggers from all over the world who are rediscovering many of the incredible lenses in the Sigma lineup. For example, we just came across this fantastic hands-on account of a test-shoot of the new 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A from Marc Lebryk, based in East Indianapolis, Indiana.

After testing the 50mm F1.4 he reports that:

“Everything I’ve touched or seen out of Sigma in the last 2 years has not only met but far surpassed my expectations from not just the Sigma name, but the Nikon or Canon name as well.  If you don’t own a 50mm lens (and I am a firm believer that everyone should have a 50mm prime of some kind in their bag)  then the Sigma is more than just an option; This time it’s the cream of the crop.”
