The old Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG EX HSM lens
Hi all.
I have been thinking of adding a fast lens to my kit for wide-field astrophotography, with Barnards Loop and other large structures in mind. I have a SIGMA 18-35 f1.8 Art already but have been looking at a 50mm f1.4 to get in a bit tighter on my FoV.
I use Canon 700D’s so have been thinking of the obvious contenders such as the:
- Canon 50mm f1.8
- Canon 50mm f1.4
- Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG EX HSM (the old one before the Art range)
Now before anyone tells me to get the new Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art, I am on a budget with a wife that is already giving me heaps of grief about my gear, so I need to compromise.
Question - How does the old Sigma 50mm f1.4 perform at astrophotography, and is it better than the Canon lenses? I have scoured the net for a review and have come up empty handed.
Advise?
Benn
