I recently purchased a Nikon 50mm, f1.4G for portrait photography. I already own the Sigma. I don't need 2 of the similar lenses. Can someone point me in the right direction for me to find the value of the Sigma so I can post it for sale?

Check ebay for starters then you can check out KEH. Is that an ART series lens?

OK, I just went to Ebay and checked several SOLD listings for your lens, they sold for, $285, $286.99, $256 and $280. SO, I would ASSUME your lens is worth about $260-$280 depending on condition. Please remember, your lens is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I would also check Craigs List for appropriate pricing.

I am looking to purchase a used Sony version of the older model of the Sigma 50 1.4 not the new A series and finding they are in the in the $300 to $ 350 range. JH

50 mm lens is not a very good portrait lens for head and shoulder shots.Should have a 105 MM. 50 mm is okay for group shots.

Thanks, AL. I don't have room for the 105, but I am looking for an 85mm

An 85 MM would do just fine.

I would look at what KEH has in used lenses, Also see what Canon, Sigma or Tamron has in reconditioned.I've purchased lots of camera
equipment from KEH and I can't say enough nice things about them. Great people, prices and return policy

I bought the 50mm Nikon from KEH. I agree with your remarks, Al.
