I compared many lenses in this range, and it came down to these and the Tokina Vistas. The Tokina's had a beautiful image, but for $6k a lens, I was sure if the value was there.So I pulled the trigger on a set of these sigmas, and I couldn't be happier. It's the best value for the dollar. I've used their art photo line, but these seem to have a better resolution, they are crispier, and the bokeh falls off like butter. You won't find a better value for the price. The next level up is $6-7k, then $10k

This 85mm is a new addition to my Sigma lens set. I already use the 20, 24, 35 and 50, and they are all simply fantastic. First off, these lenses are FAST! 20mm T1.5??? Whaaat? That's madness. Next, they are all incredibly sharp wide open. No need to stop down to get a nice, crisp image. And with the sharpness, comes a beautiful creamy bokeh and great texture and colors. Add to that a (relatively) small size for a cine lens, a nice focus throw/rotation for super accurate focus, beautiful build quality and 8K ready, and you have an excellent tool for many years to come.

This 35mm Cine lens has completely changed not only what I use on a shoot-to-shoot basis, but the entire look of everything I shoot. It's the perfect focal length for interviews in 4k and I've also been using it for handheld shoots and B-Roll.Yeah, it's a prime so you have to walk around or move your tripod to get the close up or wide, but for the quality of the image it's worth it.The 35mm has created a new cinematic look to my work and I'm saving for more from this family to replace my older Canon photography lenses. Can't recommend enough! Sharp, clean, amazing depth of field and bokeh. Don't hesitate!

Not my favorite glass. Sigmas have heavy breathing. While build quality is solid, there are definitely better options out there if your budget allows.Rental from Lens Rentals is always a pleasure. Thanks!

The Sigma 50mm T1.5 is simply a wonderful lens for me, I use it on every shoot. It works perfect for high-end commercials but is also wonderful for doc shooting since it has a shorter pull than it's competition.It has an 82mm thread on the front allowing early filter additions when using teleprompter and a mattebox can't be arranged.The Glow in the dark paint for the markings was really useful when it came to shooting an independent film in limited lighting.I would recommend a set of Sigma Cine Lenses to anyone who needs to be versatile but is sick of the poor performance of stills glass.
I just started using the Sigma FF lenses and shot in a very humid location. No internal condensation seen. These lenses have a much higher resolution as far as sharpness and critical focus goes as compared to my previous cine style lenses. Robust build to say the least. I haven't noticed any chromatic aberration at all. Looking forward to using these on feature work!

Have a Red Raven that I never felt was a sharp as it needed to be with standard Canon glass. These Sigma's bring out it's potential. Can't give the "how helpful was our staff" too many stars because the online order process is so straight forward I never interacted with a human. (or DID I???)
Pleasantly surprised by this lens. Used to own Zeiss CP.2, and have rented the CP.2 Super Speed 50mm many times, as well as the Canon CN-E lenses. In terms of sharpness, this Sigma easily beats all three of those. In some ways, this is to be expected because those are older lenses, and were designed before 4K was a ubiquitous resolution. If you're still shooting/delivering in HD, then it may not matter. These days, the differences are noticeable in 4k, especially shooting wider than T4. This lens is an amazing value and punches well above her weight. Sharp enough to resolve tack-sharp in 4k, and they claim it's sharp enough for 8k. I won't comment much on color/contrast rendition and character because it's so subjective, but to me it produces a very straightforward ... MorePleasantly surprised by this lens.

Also haven't tested/can't comment on lens flare characteristics. Favorite features: -Hardly any chromatic aberration wide open, which is where the other lenses in this range typically fall apart wider than T4. Still very sharp at T2. -Offered in E-Mount with is great for my FS7. -Build quality is as good as one would hope for a lens in this range. -No focus breathing!

Sigma 50mm T1.5 Cine Lens For PL Mount / i-Technology
Whether taking a claustrophobic close-up or a wide landscape shot the Sigma 50mm T1.5 FF High-Speed Prime Lens delivers consistency every time. The lens is manufactured for Canon EF-mount cine cameras. The full manual adjustment of the focus and iris via dedicated rings let you freely determine the look of your scene. These rings are complemented by the Imperial scale markings. The focus ring makes a 180deg rotation without any obstruction. With the clickless iris ring the aperture value can be altered while recording the video. The built-in dampener in each ring reduces the metallic noise if you turn them till the end. Moreover the 0.8 Mod gear pitch of the ring permits you to use various equipment such as the follow focus unit. To highlight foreground subjects in portrait shots the T1.5 maximum aperture and 9-blade diaphragm create a cinematic shallow depth of field with pleasing bokeh in the background. The lens resists dust and water splashes to remain functional in harsh conditions. Go to any Sigma service center to interchange the Canon EF-mount with the Sony E-mount.
