I don't get the negative reception this camera is receiving. It appears to be a great example of a no-frills "photographer's camera". The bells and whistles people are complaining about are either...

ugly, yes, junk, no.

This. And the same goes for every large aperture 50mm prime in existence.

Guess what, Mike, I did, as did others - DPR didn't bat an eyelid.

There were numerous objections re the exclusion of the Nex 6 in the comments on the poll, DPR didn't bat an eyelid.

I just bought the current 50/1.4 and it's a great lens, but I'd buy an Art series version simply for the USB functionality.

Oh, so YOU own the Nikon and therefore the Sigma can't be nearly as good?

Please, tell us more...

Why is the SLT A57 on the list but not the Nex 6?

I know exactly what you mean. Fortunately the Sigma is marvellous for focussing manually (all these shots were MF, iirc).The AF problem the Sigma has is widely misunderstood, and it took me a few...

I just got the Sigma 50/1.4 and It's absolutely brilliant.Can't imagine the 50L being much better.My first few shots:

The Sigma "bad quality control" thing is a myth. It may have been true many years ago but these days it isn't.The canon 50s (1.4, 1.2) both had poor AF on the 5D2, as did the Sigma 50/1.4  - Guess...

Nice cameras.I have similar combos: 5D3 & Nex5, and Eos 3 & Olympus XA.

Yeah, the problem is he's just defending the price - I don't ind the price, I mind the UGLY

I don't mind that it's a pimped out Nex 7 - that concept has great potential.

I do mind that it's revoltingly, disgustingly, horrendously UGLY.

Why couldn't they take some styling cues from their...

I think the demand from people who want to use M-mount lenses on a FF Nex is already sufficient to justify the camera.My dream: 35/1.4 Voigtlander on FF Nex with in-EVF focus peaking.

how many times did you fall on your head?

Nex is waaaaay better looking.

looks cheap & ugly, both of em...
