Opinion: Mixed feelings. Sharpness is outstanding, but I have been using the Zeiss 35/2 much more. Reasons are, Zeiss behaves better in low light situations (no loss of contrast...), has better bokeh, and is much easier to handle. The wide aperture of the Sigma should be a plus, but bokeh tends to be ugly because of double edging, a consequence of spherical aberrations being overcorrected. Bottom line, it is gathering dust.
On stopping down (around f/5.6-f/8), the bokeh issue vanishes, but Zeiss and Sigma are on a par then (even with a D800), conclusion: see above.
Cons: Nothing, Maybe 67mm filter thread should have been 72mm.
Opinion: This is a great lens. Every bit as good as the Canon 35mm 1.4L. i find the lens sharp wide open at 1.4. the colour and pop you get is great. I use it for travel and street photography. I have done a mini review with sample photos on my webpage, www.gormteper.net/reviews/sigma-35mm-f1-4-art/. See photos on my webpage and Juza profile. Highly recommend!!!
Pros: fantastico a 1.4, pochissime aberrazioni cromatiche, pochissima distorsione abbastanza definito(quando mette a fuoco...)
Cons: Autofocus lento ed impreciso, completamente inattendibile, eccessiva vignettatura(correggibile senza troppi problemi in Post Produzione).
Opinion: Fantastico a 1.4 ma da 2.8 in po non mi ha stupito più di tanto. Il problema maggiore è l'autofocus completamente inconsistente, ho perso giorni a fare microregolazione sulla mark 2 da vicino infatti è ok, il problema sono i punti laterali che non mettono completamente a fuoco per non parlare poi da lontano dove sbaglia fuoco anche col centrale e con scatto a 5.6. Insomma il mio sarà stato un caso sfortunato, aspetto di provarne un altro per vedere se posso cambiare idea, visto che ora come ora è un obiettivo inutilizzabile a meno che non si voglia utilizzare solo in live view o per scattare solo col centrale statue. Mi sta venendo il dubbio che l'usb dock station non sia un optional ma un obbligo...
Avuto il secondo esemplare devo dire che fa cagare come il primo. Mi spiace ma ha seri problemi di messa a fuoco come il primo, sarà che è della stessa "annata" 012(2012).
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Bright; sharp in the center already wide open; solid construction; presence of ED and aspherical lenses in the optical scheme; window for the distance scale.
Cons:Weight, price of new, lack of a version with Nikon Z mount.
Opinion:I bought this gorgeous lens two weeks ago to equip my two Nikon full-frame ML bodies (Z5 and Z6) with a super bright fixed mid-wide-angle lens. Thanks to the second-hand market I found it at a really interesting price and I found that, on Nikon ML bodies, especially on Nikon Z6, the performance is excellent. No front/back focus, impressive sharpness in the center even at full aperture, although you have to pay attention to the camera angle because, as is logical, at 1.4 on FF the depth of field is minimal. Extraordinary bokeh even at f/2.8-4.0, where it undoubtedly gives its best. The colors are beautiful and saturated, despite some critics saying otherwise. Of course, the weight is considerable and it is certainly not a travel lens, unless you have a sherpa, but quality and brightness also imply this. Thanks to the brightness of the lens in closed and dimly lit environments, the light of a LED spotlight is enough to give three-dimensionality to the subject in the foreground, which this lens does very well! I can't say anything about the lens hood yet because my example didn't have one, but I've already ordered the original spare part online; It will arrive in a few days and I will be able to add my impressions about it to the review. In short, personally I am very satisfied with the purchase! Overall rating 9.5
Opinion:Bought a couple of years ago used by a user on Juza, too bad it arrived without the original box (I own all the packaging of my equipment) in the end the price was good and I didn't want to stick too much. That said, I would call this lens universal, almost not to take it off the camera. I like this focal length even more than the counterpart 50 of the Art series. The materials, finishes and dimensions are equal to its weight there is practically substance. Once calibrated with the appropriate doc it is perfect, very sharp, distortions practically absent if not negligible. Even at full aperture, it retains a remarkable sharpness even if you happen to be able to barrel the point of focus. I didn't see any noticeable problems in the AF. In backlight it generates a very small flare that is completely negligible. Using it purely in portraiture, I would say excellent for full figures and American cuts, but also in set portraits. The only really negative aspect is its lens hood, which often doesn't hook well when turned around and generates slight vignetting in two opposite and marginal areas in the images. Without wanting to sell the discovery of hot water, let's say that preferring more and more prime lenses at the expense of variable focal length lenses, this 35 is my favorite.
