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).

Pros:Sharpness, construction and top-notch materials,accurate AF contrary to other opinions read on Nikon D850 no problem. Excellent value for money.
Cons:The hood does not lock firmly on the optics and you risk losing it or falling to the ground ruinously. inexplicable flaw. Difficult to find of competition if not of dubious functionality see the screw one. For the rest everything Ok!
Opinion:Disarming sharpness, optics that must not be missing in the kit of an Advanced Amateur Photographer, but also of the Professional. bought used by private initially I was afraid that the' AF drunk as they define it in many could give me problems, contrary I had no problem, love at first sight with my Nikon D850 does not miss a shot. Colors and fabulous blurred. DS used only to update the firmware no adjustment for the Fateful AF that reading other reviews is necessarily calibrated, on my Nikon D850 there was this need, perfect focus at every shot. A really excellent lens allows you to dare for its brightness in critical lighting conditions with excellent results. An optics that allows you to have plenty of room for creativity, despite having the Tamron 24/70 G2 really good lens that now often remains on the bench in the backpack giving space to the 35mm 1.4 holder that hardly for some time I am reluctant to disassemble from the camera body. A lens that cuts like a razor. Very happy to have it in my kit, not only landscapes or street photos but it behaves more than very well on the portrait. Good Light to all!
Cons:You want to slam him to the ground for his AF
Opinion:When I saw this lens the first time at a friend's house and tried it, I was struck. It was immediate love. Love at first sight. Its sharpness and its colors, its blurred; It is a lens that has character. In short, I wanted it at all costs, but ours was destined to turn into a toxic relationship. When the shot succeeds I must say that its yield is wonderful, it will also be a subjective matter, but I like to go crazy. The point is precisely this (I state that I used it on SLR), a large percentage of shots, more than half, fails. Especially in TA where the pdc is very restricted. I tried them all: dock station, AF fine adjustment... but... The point is that, at least in my case, it was not a simple F/B focus problem that maybe you can correct. No! Simply the AF is drunk! Sometimes he set fire further ahead, sometimes further back, in short, it was hell. Which then becomes frustrating, especially when overall you have caught a good shot but then you realize that it is not usable due to the alcoholism of his AF. However, I must point out that in Live View the problem was much less heavy, so I imagine that on ML there is no such problem and therefore can give great satisfaction. In the end, however, I sold it out of desperation. If I had to switch to mirrorless I'd like to try it again anyway. "Some loves make immense turns and then return"
