Cons: Purple Fringing and Green Fringing (LoCA) at Out Of Focus Area, not only appears at wide open, but also appears while stop down(f5.6～f8), which screws up the whole image no matter how sharp it is. Especially affects Close Focus. The Image Quolity doesn\'t match its heavy weight.
Pros: Very sharp when stopped down or focus at infinity, and color rendering is good.
Summary: LoCA is not acceptable for such a heavy lens. Sharpness helps nothing when LoCA occurs. This lens doesn\'t have weather sealing, and its walking distance is too far to make it a all-round lens.

Cons: Can\'t use the outer focus points on Nikon D7100. Heavier than a Nikon 50/1.4. The temptation to use wide apertures close up will test your focus discipline.
Pros: Unbelievably sharp, even wide open. Great colour. Good (not great) bokeh. Very well made, like all Art series lenses. Balances well on a D7100 with grip.
Summary: If you shoot a lot at wide apertures (1.4 to 2.8) no 50 can beat it. I\'m still amazed when I chimp my images. As an old Leica-M shooter, I have a style that relies on lenses in the 28mm to 75mm range. My basic lens is the 18-35 Art, and this 50 is my \"long\" lens. On my APS sensor it\'s what I always dreamed an autofocus 75mm Summilux-M would be. Bravo Sigma.
