Sigma 50 mm f/1.4 Art

[conropl]

If they had not made the claim that they were going to beat the Zeiss Otus, then they could be doing a lot of bragging right now. However, based on Bryan's charts, it does not beat the Otus for sharpness. It can be argued (and probably will be) that it beats the Otus if you factor it vignetting and price, because it does do better on both those points, but you need to stop down to f/2.8 on the Sigma before it starts getting comparable to the Otus wide open at f/1.4.

Really nice lens, but not quite to the level they claimed it would be.
