That should be an interesting exercise, no doubt!

Nope - never, even if you think it just did!
A lot of reviewers seem convinced the new ART Sigma 50/1.4 is the best thing since sliced bread. Their readership is still largely in the DSLR world of course ;-)
Here is the only credible test I have seen thus far comparing the FE55, Sigma ART, Otus and others, with real images and real world analysis - done on a level playing field - the a7r:
Most adorable 50s - UPDATED: Sigma Art 50/1.4 DG HSM Review
The ART looks a little harsh to me, corners not outstanding until f4, less likeable bokeh. Add in 820 grams, complex configuration, needs micro-adjust...more data points are always welcome though, Tim!
The D810 + Sigma ART weighs a half pound more than all of my main kit combined: a7r + FE55 + CY 21/2.8 + CY 100/3.5, so it's not for me. And Zeiss will not be producing cutting edge lenses for Nikon anytime soon, but they will be doing so for FE.

I don't call that a level playing field as comparing lens that is optimized for certain sensor (FE55) to lenses that are not natural fit for that sensor is not technically correct comparison.

My, that's a change! ];-)I think I'm failing in slit tines. (Sluttiness on a normal keyboard). I'll have to pull myself together, trouble is I don't know which way to jump!

Any sellers remorse yet?

Thank you for the heads up.

I've had two D800e's (in the studio) and my A7r (since it came out about 8 months ago) just going to sit back and look smug. Oh and I don't know about the 50mm ART but I have two 35mm ART's in the studio, it's really really good.
