I have the 50/1.4. It is big and heavy, but is a very good fast normal lens. The 30/1.4 is better in the center than the edges, but I rarely care about the edges. Who shoots landscapes at f/1.4 anyway?
I don't have any "bad" Sigma lenses, but their build quality and reliability are suspect, and they are way heavier than they need to be.
