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.

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).

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

The first time I used this lens, I was a bit dissapointed. I could find the sharpness like my 35 1.4L. The reason was that my art had e terrible backfocus of +18 on my 5D MK3's. After Sigma calibrated my lens, I had a nother lens!

Sharpness after calibration Bokeh Color Fast AF

Nice build but scratches quick | Sigma hasn't the quality control as Canon No service for professionals like CPS from Canon

This is an in-depth review of the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art prime lens that was announced at one of the largest photo shows in the industry, at Photokina in Germany on September 17, 2012 for Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Sony mounts.

Very nice bokeh Third of the price of canon

Not weather sealed

The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art isn't the only third-party option in town. The Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 has its own set of benefits, including a lower price tag, more uniform illumination, closer focus, and image stabilization.

Very sharp; Wide aperture; Attractive price; Available for multiple camera systems; Solid build quality; Eligible for mount conversion

Heavy vignette effect; Omits image stabilization; Not the best option for ultra-high-resolution cameras

In late 2012, Sigma re-structured its lens lineup and announced that its future lenses would each be part of one of three new product lines: "Contemporary" for affordable consumer lenses, "Sport" for fast telephoto lenses, or "Art" for high-performance primes and zooms.

Sigma's 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM is the first model in the company's 'Art' series of lenses. Designed primarily for cameras with 'full frame' (36 x 24 mm) sensors, it can also be used with APS-C sensors, where it covers a focal length equivalent to 56mm on Canon cameras or 52.5mm with other brands (Nikon,...
