Sigma's lousy lens and it's ugly diamond-shaped bokeh (50mm f1.4 ART, Canon full frame)

Here's one of my first tests when I got the lens. You will probably want to fight through flickr to get the full resolution to pixel peep. A starfield is one of the worst case scenarios when in focus, and there's not a lot going on even at f/1.4 until you pass roughly the APS-C circle, and even at full frame corner there isn't that much. Note I used a static mount for this test shot so a tiny amount of trailing may be seen and should be disregarded.
