News Sigma 50/1.2 DG DN Art

It is here!
I just got my ordered 1.2/50 Art. Hopefully the weather will be better today, yesterday the only possible test would be weather sealing…

First impression; not lightweight, but better handling than my old 1.4/50HSM which I gave to my dealer. The only slight drawback is the filtersize of 72mm, which is a new size to my set of lenses…

How's the handling compare to like the 24-105? I know in my heart the 65mm is better lens for me, but the images out of the 1.2 look really good and it's tempting me

I ordered mine from B&H but it won't be here until Monday. Looking forward to it.

Looks the biz!! But if I were going to buy an uber fast prime, it would be their 35mm f1.2.

I just had a quick look, & that's actually not too stupidly priced, here. But the weight, dear me, at just over a kg, not for me

I don´t own the 24-105 and the 20-60 is nothing to compare...
Here is a picture with the Lumix 1.8/50 and the Sigma 2.8 24-70:
- The Zoom is 100g heavier and a little bit bigger
- The Lumix nifty fifty looks not so much smaller, but is half the weight! But in comparison to my old 1.4/50HSM Art the new 1.2 is really an option for more occasions.

First time with the 1,2/50 and a model ;-)
Unfortunately the max size is 1600px, but the lens is great...

I do not regret to spend the money to update from the original 1.4/50 Art!

Thank you Xavier!!!

I really enjoyed that video! Although to be honest, the music sounded like it belonged in a 1950s shopping mall. The footage and photos were really good from both cameras. It looks like such a quaint location with so many old things to see. The bookshop looked awesome!

Oh Pete.

I thought the music was perfect. But then I just got back from New Orleans and got to see some good live Jazz & Blues.

Maybe we need a "Music of L-Mount" sub-forum, LOL.

Robert Mays videos make me feel like I should be wearing a smoking jacket by a fireplace as I puff away at a pipe. The guy could seriously be an audio book narrator or npr news host.
