As if the change in the mount would make the Sigma ART lens less or more spectacular. When I posted the review of the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART lens, there were questions about when I would post the review of the Canon mount lens. Also, the budget 50mm lenses are very affordable, and a superb entry into the super-shallow depth-of-field look that give some photos such visual appeal. Their optical performance are usually of the highest order because there are less demands on correcting for various optical aberrations. Yet, for all that, the 50mm lens is an essential lens that deserves a spot in your camera bag. It feels like it is either not wide enough (to get more of the environment in, or to get an interesting perspective), or that it isn’t tight enough (for a tighter portrait that includes less.) With most of my photography work, I rely on the 24-70mm and 70-200mm zoom lenses. Not quite love-hate, but more a frustration at times with the 50mm as the main lens to use. Now, I have to admit that I have this strange love-disinterest relationship with the 50mm focal length. That sort of gives away that a 50mm lens was most likely used for this loosely composed candid portrait. That should be fairly obvious from a quick scrutiny – the perspective (which is not wide, and neither tight) and the shallow depth of field. This photo of a street performer in New York was shot with a 50mm lens.
