The 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM is Sigma's first large aperture 35mm full-frame lens. It was announced November 2012 and goes head-to-head against the equivalent offerings from Nikon, Canon and Sony.

Outstanding performance in the corners of a high-resolution full-frame sensor even wide open; Good build quality; Quiet and fast AF operation; Relatively low price compared to the big names

Performance at the borders/corners of the DX/APS-C image circle could be better; No weather sealing

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is the first result coming out of Sigma's recently announced lens lineup restructuring. This lens represents a completely new look and feel for Sigma - a very positive upgrade from a physical perspective and a big hit from an image quality perspective.

I wouldn't buy a Sigma lens because I don't trust their lens' long-term viability (I demand that any lens I buy serve me for about 20 years), but if you can get over my personal problems, this consumer-grade Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM has the same superb optics as Nikon or Canon's professional lenses.

this lens is better than the canon's 35mm 1.4L, period. it's sharper across the aperture range, focuses just as fast (if not a tiny bit faster), the build quality feels great. i've owned the canon 35L and had both at the same time before letting the L glass go.

very fast aperture; great build quality

none

This lens is just a pleasure to shoot with, and gives your pictures a unique look that just makes you smile. I'm sure you've read a ton of other reviews that talk about its sharpness, and I'm telling you they weren't exaggerating.

I bought this for my canon 6d and I couldn't be more satisfied with the pictures I've been producing with it. This is a great value and I've had a lot of fun shooting with it for the past few weeks.

Fast focusing; Looks great; Sharp; Strong build

Can't think of any

What a lens, everything the reviews say, brilliant, hope sigma keep coming up with stuff like this.

There's something about a fixed focal length lens that brings the photographer out in me. It forces me to move in and back from compositions without resorting to a zoom. Yes, there are times when a zoom is most appreciated-especially the fast constant aperture zooms now available-but a prime puts me...

-Great for Portraits -Great for Landscapes-Great for studio use/ small spaces-nothing to complain about on this lens! The bokeh is amazing! The autofocus works fast and great on the 5D3!

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Rugged; Strong Construction

NONE

I recently ran into an issue with my beloved Canon 35mm 1.4 L lens. After many years of exceptional quality and loyal service, it started to back focus when photographing an object or subject from that was more than 3 meters away.

Sharp; Low Distortion; Controlled CA's; Price
