Verdict
Pick the Canon 20 mm f/2.8 if you need a wider field of view and value the 15 EUR savings. Choose the Sigma 50 mm f/1.4 if you prefer a brighter aperture for low light and shallower depth of field, and the tighter framing suits your subjects. Neither lens is inherently superior—select based on focal length and aperture needs.
