I shoot weddings and portraits, and have used the Canon 50/1.2, 50/1.4 and the Sigma 50.1.4. I currently have the 50/1.2 which I will likely sell due to the large size / weight, and I don't find it usable at f/1.2. Here's my 50mm history with the Canon 5d bodies:
I tried two copies of the Sigma 50mm 1.4. Neither were accurate at all when focusing. Both were sold quick.
The Canon 50/1.4 was great at f/1.8 or so. Used it for years and was happy with it. Probably should have just kept this lens.
I have and currently use the Canon 50/1.2, but it really isn't overly usable for me at f/1.2. I shoot it at f/1.6 to f/1.8 or so to get better image quality.
My thoughts are to go back to the Canon 50/1.4, or maybe try the new Sigma 50/1.4? Anyone else can comment on the original 5d, and what 50 you have settled on? For the money, I just feel like having a 1.2 lens that isn't really usable at f/1.2 is a bit of a waste of money.
Has anyone successfully gotten the original Sigma 50/1.4 to work with the 5d body?
