Sigma 311101 50mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon, Black

Product Information

Ok, the first shot was the Canon and the second shot was the new Sigma. Web sized like the two images above are, it is hard to tell which is which right off the bat. My initial thoughts though are that the Canon’s bokeh is slightly more appealing, the Sigma’s seems to be a hair more “busy” but overall they are very similar. [REWIND: My Initial Thoughts & Unboxing Of The Sigma 50mm F/1.4 DG HSM Art] Again, hard to tell right off the bat from these small web sized images. So let’s punch in on the 100% crops and you will see a big difference. Just to head off you Canonites, these shots were focused in live view, on a tripod. So “perfect” focus was confirmed prior to taking the shots.

When the message “Lens update complete.” appears on the camera display, the firmware update of the lens is successfully over. Follow the instructions on the screen to close the process. After closing it, remove the USB cable from the camera and the PC. The RF 50mm f/1.2 was one of four launch-day lenses along with the RF 24-105mm f/4, RF 35mm f/1.8 macro, and the RF 28-70mm f/2. In this particular comparison, we’ve pitted it against two existing fast-aperture 50mm primes for the EF mount, the EF 50mm 1.2 and the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, both of which can be used on the EOS R with full compatibility thanks to the EF-EOS R adapter.

Put that way, it makes sense. Ideally the mechanical travel distance should be infinite too as there is but one 100% perfect focus plan... This set of three images of defocused fairy lights were shot at f/1.4, f/2 and f/2.8. They show minimal ‘onion ring’ effect and that the 11-blade aperture diaphragm remains well-rounded when stopping down a little. Lab results There’s no shortage of 50mm lenses on the market, and many camera and lens companies actually offer a choice of apertures too. The f1.8 versions are definitely worth considering: they are smaller, lighter, cheaper, less obtrusive and often deliver similar – or even superior – image quality than their bigger brothers. The loss of 2/3 of a stop may not be as relevant as the marketing literature wants you to believe. But if you absolutely want or need f1.4 (or brighter) then you have the following alternatives with autofocus: The first test scene of the day was a nice dandelion in some shade. In this scene, I specifically was looking for bokeh and sharpness. Before I tell you my thoughts on how they compare, take a look at the two shots yourself. Which one is which? With the Sony α9 or Sony α6400, it has corrected the phenomenon whereby the AF stopping position occasionally had a variation when shutter was half pressed repeatedly during auto focusing on the same subject.

In designing the lens with a large 85.4mm diameter, and placing the widest elements within the front group, greater peripheral brightness is more easily attained when working with larger apertures. This design also lends itself to minimizing vignetting throughout the aperture range for greater clarity and detail across the image frame. Super Multi-Layer Coating The Xiaomi 12T Pro offers a whopping 200MP main camera, but how does this perform, and do the other cameras deliver? Joshua Waller puts it through its paces. PL Water-repellent, Antistatic type. Circular PL filter removes the reflection of water surface and glass windows, and increases the contrast in landscape photography. In terms of optical quality, the Sigma 50mm Art exhibits higher contrast and sharpness across the frame. The Canon 50mm f1.4 roughly matches it in the middle of the frame at around f2.8, but in the corners of a full-frame image you’d need to close the Canon to f5.6 to come close. The Sigma also suffers from much less vignetting. In terms of Bokeh the Sigma also renders larger and more circular-looking blobs at the same aperture.he message appears even when the software and the lens are appropriate, close the Lens System Software Updater and remove the cable and power OFF the camera.

All of the following shots were shot on a Canon 6D with an aperture of F/1.4. (Afterall, the whole point of a prime with F/1.4 is shooting wide open, so that is where I focused my attention with this comparison.) Scene 1: The DandelionNormal type. Protector is developed to protect the lens surface from dirt and dust as well as scratches. It is an ideal filter for regular use as it is completely colorless so does not affect color reproduction. As you can see from the image above, the Sigma is significantly larger than the Canon 50mm F/1.8. Not only is it larger, it has a solid build. Where the Canon is almost all plastic, the Sigma is almost all metal.
