Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art Lens Hands-on And Reviews Round-Up

Are you still on the fence for the awesome Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens? Do not, and grab this outstanding lens as soon as you can. Pre-orders can be made at  B&H Photo (click here) and Adorama (click here), stocks are limited. The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 sells for ridiculous $949. The price is ridiculous if you consider that the auto-focusing Sigma can easily hold up to the $4,000, manual focusing Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4. Not bad, eh?

Canon Professional Network press release:

Canon France, in association with Images-Evidence, has announced that the 14th annual Canon Female Photojournalist Award is open until 26 May 2014 for submissions from female photojournalists of any age and nationality.

This year, for the first time, the award is supported by Elle Magazine and Canon France will grant the winning female photojournalist €8,000 to help her to continue and complete a photojournalistic project on a social, economic, political or cultural subject.

A jury made up of top photography and press professionals will select the winner in June. Entrants will be judged both upon the presentation of their project and their previous work. Among the selection criteria are the quality of the photographs, the journalistic thought processes and relevance of the chosen subject.

The award will be presented to the winner during the Professional Week (1-7 September 2014) of the 2014 Visa pour l’Image international festival of photojournalism in Perpignan, France, and the winning photojournalist will then continue with a project which will lead to an exhibition or screening at the Visa pour l’Image festival in 2015.
