Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Excellent lens..my copy is free of any focus issues
Summary: 5 Stars
I must be lucky. I have six Siggies for the Nikon, and every time I read these horror tales of front or rear focus issues I re-test each and every lens (other than my 10-20mm). Everytime each and every lens passes free of any front or back focus issue. Each test is performed on a tripod to avoid the issue of user error, with two similar objects placed two-three inches apart depthwise and each time the focussed on object is in focus and the other is not. My lenses include 50/1.4, 24-70/2.8, 18-50/2.8, 50-150/2.8, and 150/2.8(macro). Five for five (actually, six for six) is as good as it gets. Perhaps I should quit while I am ahead. I might add that I also have five Nikon lenses all of which are likewise free of focus issues.
