Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art - any owners / users?

[Adam J]

So I currently have a canon 50mm 1.4 and that's great but not mind blowing and I have been interested in the newer sigma offering. The reviews look great and let's face it a £800 prime should be a lot better than a £300 one - I'm interested if anyone here has made the same change, or just their impressions of it. I'm on full frame canon. Thanks folks.

They liked everything except bokeh. I'd buy one if I needed 50mm again; personally I prefer 85 and 35mm.

I love it, so much so that I've pretty much given up using my Nikon 58f1.4 except on night shoots where the Nikon has the edge on flare.
For the money, I'd say it's untouchable and pretty much an equal of the Zeiss Otus 58mm but for a quarter of the price.
