We’ve been testing the brand new Sigma 50mm f1.4 II for a short while with the promise of a unit coming to us for a longer period of time later on, and so far we’ve been very impressed. The lens is being tested on the Canon 5D Mk II and performs pretty much as well as Sigma’s 35mm f1.4 DG Art lens. We’d also say that it is on par with the Zeiss 55mm f1.4 Otus though the Sigma lens tends to exhibit more purple fringing. However, that is easily removed in post-production.
Here are some sample images from the new lens. All portraits were done with the Phottix Odin and Mitros+ flash.
