Lensrentals tests best 50mm lenses: Sigma 50mm ART “wows” again!
Roger Cicala from Lensrentals testes all the best 50mm lenses. The best lens is the 8000 Dollar/Euro [shoplink 27099 ebay]Leica Summicron f/2.0 (here on eBay)[/shoplink]. But the surprise is “again” the new Sigma 50mm ART lens. Roger writes:
I think it’s pretty cool that two SLR lenses (Zeiss Otus and Sigma ART) are able to hang right there with the f/1.4 Leica lens, the Summilux. Price-wise, you would hope the Otus would, but certainly the Sigma, one of the least expensive lenses in the test, has to take honors for hanging with the best at a tiny fraction of their price.
Note: The A-mount lens can be preordered in USA Amazon (Click here) at BHphoto (Click here) and Adorama (Click here). And in Europe at WexUK (Click here) and WexDe (Click here).
And the Sigma is very close to the Summicron lens at f/2.0 aperture:
Now let’s hope the 24mm and 85mm f/1.4 lenses coming at Photokina will be as good as the 50mm ART!
