A great and bright normal lens from Sigma that acts more like a short telephoto lens on my DX bodies. Great for portraits on DX, very shallow DOF and really nice bokeh - and of course very bright.
I have a weakness for bright lenses and always had great experiences with Sigma. So when I wanted a bright 50mm, I found it natural to look closer at Sigma's offering.
My acquisition of a Sigma 10-20mm wideangle zoom many years ago was the beginning of a beautiful friendship, to quote Bogart in Casablanca. It is just my kind of lens.
I have always loved bright lenses. If money was no issue, all my lenses would have f/1.4 and f/1.8 stamped on them. A few slow ones would be f/2.8, but only the slow ones...
