Pros: Optical quality

Cons: Cluttered.... and then the weight

Opinion: What do I have to say.... Reason for focal distances.... 50 Art was the first lens that made me say wow, so perfect (if you have a good copy) almost to stew ... Years go by.... I tried the 135 Art ... again WOW, but sold, I was sorry a lot but it was a focal that I never used. Undecided between 35 1.4 Tamron and 40 art I decide to try art. I considered the tamron only for the reviews, the 35 actually I never liked as a focal but I wanted to give it a chance. Nothing, here comes the 40 art... wow again, considering that it is wider than 50 even more wow. A question arises spontaneously why wait so long to get it out on the market? Handicap clutter.... had it been smaller for the focal length that is not hurt

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, speed and accuracy af, price

Cons: Frankly nothing, the weight (1.2 Kg) is related to the goodness of the materials and the complexity of the project

Opinion: I have several Art and Milvus optics, I'm not one who is easily impressed. But this 40 left me really stunned, especially comparing it with the excellent 35 and 50 of the same series. Here everything is amplified further, from sharpness to bokeh, to the lack of coma and flare, let's say that you can clearly see the descent from the cine version. Big, massive and obviously heavy (well, it's an Art), on the d850 it returns very sharp frames from edge to edge even at TA, it's really embarrassing! The maf is instantaneous and very precise, the hood is then spectacular with its beautiful release button and the lower rubber ring. The price then is really competitive, if it had been branded Nikon you would have found it on sale at 2500 euros. Highly recommended for all lovers of definitive lenses, provided that they are arranged - to enjoy maximum performance - to the always appropriate calibration with the specific dock. Obviously not recommended for those who judge Art 35 and 50 to be big and heavy. Yes, because this superb 40 is not as big as you see it in the picture but more, much more ...

Pros: Sharpness to TA, autofocus with Sony a7 III

Cons: Maybe the weight

Opinion: Mounted on Sony a7 III does not miss a beat even at TA. A TA soft, pleasant background. Aside from weight and size, it has nothing to envy to the optics of parent company Sony GM. Robust lampshade with a good attack system. Excellent price quality, with less than a thousand euros you take a bright and reliable optics. Recommended for portraits.

Pros: Optical yield, brightness, focus

Cons: Weight and size

Opinion: I went around the store. Beautiful as yield and speed of focus, but it's as big as in 135 of the good times. I think you could do better in terms of compactness, especially if the lens in question has to be mounted on an ML. Even in the past there were optics of this brightness, yet their size was much more acceptable.

Pros: Sharpness suitable for 8k video, uniformity, few AC

Cons: Weighs more than 135 Art, AF still not lightning, unmanageable freehand

Opinion: I had read something before I had it in my hands, and I can only be grounded. It is gigantic, if you hide the number engraved on it, it could very well be confused with a 135mm. It is absolutely not a good thing, being the focal 40mm used for carefree use, and this lens does not allow it. It is also true that the dimensions are justified by a virtually perfect optical rendering. It may be the maximum existing for amateur film use, but the absence of the declicked dial (there is not really the dial) in my opinion limits its use even in such contexts. The construction looks better than the first Sigma Art, with the most sought-after paralysed light-topping engineer that now has a button for release (Canon-Nikon style), which avoids unpleasant episodes. Ridiculous size on Sony, to the limits of the unusable. I'm not sure this is the best way for Sigma, this MTF race is not good for anyone.

Pros: Nesting also at TA, speed, precise and silent AF, blurred without aberrations and very clean. Very interesting focal

Cons: Heavy and obvious vignette in TA

Opinion: I mainly took static car photos, I had a Canon 50 f1.4 usm, but it was starting to give problems. So I decided to change it, undecided between Sigma 35 and 50 f1.4 ART. They made me a super price for the 40mm and I decided to give it a try. Excellent, precise, fast and monstrous sharpness at any opening. the AF on Canon 6d and then on A7iii with adapter makes mistakes very few times. Chromatic aberrations are almost nothing in many situations. The weight and the clutter, however, are very much felt.
