I’ve owned the 50mm F1.4 AFS for 2months and have used it at several childrens’ parties, with lots of moving children. The lens has produced excellent photographs, without flash and the lens wide open. This was used on a D700 and in conjunction with a 35mm f1.8 on a D5000 which is a little slower, but just as good.

Have recently bought a Nikon 50mm1.4 AF for use on a D300 and my only comment, is Brilliant.
Super sharp and extremly fast and of coarse cheaper, worth a thought, hope it helps

I recently bought the 50mm 14.G SWM and I’m very please with the results it produces on a D80 and a D700. Having moved from a 3rd party brand. I am impressed with the speed of the focus and the sharp pictures it produces.

Probably the worst lens I have ever purchased,returned it because of the very poor speed of focus,
bought the old previous model which was far superior on a D3..

Thanks Karl – I’ll have to get my hands (& camera) on a Sigma 50mm f1.4 and try it out!

Oliver, i was using the 50mm on either of my D3 or D3x and it is the same on both, as for a bad copy i have had two, two friends of mine have the same issue and both now have the sigma….

Hi KarlB,

Thanks for your feedback! I found the AF speed to be a bit sluggish, but the lens never failed to acquire focus when the subject was initially very OOF. Perhaps you had the misfortune of finding a bad copy of the lens? Which camera body where you using?

The Sigma 50mm f1.4 does get great reviews, but it’s at quite a premium over the Nikon 50mm f1.4G. Sigma’s 3 year extended warranty on EX series lenses does sweeten the deal.
