I was always told, 'You get what you pay for' and this lens is no exception! I've used the lens at f2.8, 4 and 8 and could not tell the difference in picture quality or sharpness across all apertures. Ok, so the lens is a bit bulky, but that's because it contains a serious amount of glass!

This is an amazing lens. So sharp even at 1.4. Solidly built. I'm have a nikon d610 full frame and the rest of my lenses are nikon and this is far superior in imaging quality and build

I bought this to shoot weddings - it takes a bit to get adjusted from the versatility of a 24-70 but once you do you don't want to change lens even when you know / you're taught in some cases you should be using a longer lens! At F/2.8 it's almost TOO sharp! But vignetting is heavy wider than f/2...

I try from a friend mine. It is a super lens, excellent quality. Not just sharpness as smooth for a profissional classic photographs. Great Great lens, help the good photographers, profissional or not. Superb!!!...

Great product, I recommend those who want best in class image quality to get this lenses. I needed to shoot indoor all the time, 35mm is perfect wide angle for indoor use and large apature helps with low light condition. What'd wonderful glass.

Build quality

Bulky

I always regarded Sigma as being a cheaper third party lens. This lens is quite possibly the best prime lens I own. I have several brand name high end prime lenses that perform well but nowhere near as superb as this.

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification This lens is the first of Sigma's new 'Art' line of lenses that promise excellent optical quality and increased creative options thanks to a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture.

Excellent sharpness; Very low CA; Well built; Fast focusing; Keenly priced

Falloff at maximum aperture (although typical for the type of lens; No weather sealing

We're going to let you judge for yourself which lens is best for you. They're both excellent performers and can do a great job when used in conjunction with one another. But you're best off figuring out which focal length is better for you.

The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is a new prime lens for full-frame and APS-C DSLR cameras. It offers the equivalent angle of view as a 52.5mm lens on an APS-C system (depending on the crop factor).
