Pros:Excellent sharpness and contrast from f1.6, autofocus accuracy, pleasant bokeh in most cases, excellent build quality, presence of aperture ring
Cons:At f1.4 it loses a little contrast (but as mentioned it improves immediately), bokeh a bit chaotic with subjects at certain distances and difficult backgrounds (foliage), the autofocus engine is fast enough but not as fast as other Sony alternatives, it remains a fairly bulky lens
Opinion:The output of this lens has passed a little quietly. If for SLR the Sigma 35 Art was a point of reference, now the 35mm offers are so many that they have made this new lens a "umpteenth" 35mm. But with so many qualities. I start by saying one thing: the few reviews, more than anything else on Youtube, are often misleading. Flourish of tests and comparisons with the full-aperture aperture aperture, where it seems to take them of holy reason in terms of sharpness from the Sigma 35mm f1.2 and the Sony 35mm GM, do not tell the whole truth: this lens already closing a third of a stop (f1.6) becomes very sharp and from f1.8 - f2.0 is incredible. A completely different behavior from the main competitor, which I had, namely the Samyang 35mm f1.4 AF FE (first series, I do not know if the second has actually improved). The Samyang started very soft at f1.4 and slowly improved from f2 and beyond (reaching the sharpness of the Sigma from f4, which I can say having tried them side by side). At f1.4 this Sigma has a sharpness however excellent: in a portrait, in real life, you do not notice big differences between f1.4 and f1.8, if not zooming to 100% (this as far as I can observe at 24 mpx). The blur of Sigma is much softer and more pleasant than that of Samyang. A very pleasant bokeh then, perhaps sometimes with a few double lines too much but still really pleasant. The colors of Sigma are natural, without any color cast. The build quality is premium lens, a pleasure to see and handle. The chromatic aberrations are rather well controlled (in the Samyang that I owned before they were a problem). Having the diaphragm ring available is really convenient. The weight is there but it is still completely manageable. The actual focal length is 33.5-34mm, as there is a moderate barrel distortion, which is perfectly corrected by the lens profile; in certain situations having that extra mm available (at least, on CaptureOne that does not automatically cut images like Lightroom) is convenient. The autofocus I find silent and precise, fast enough. The price in my opinion is also very competitive, considering that the Sony costs almost double.
Pros:embarrassing and moving sharpness even at 1.4, magic blurry, resistance to flare!
Cons:autofocus can be improved, focus ring not really fluid
Opinion:the best 35mm I've ever had on a camera having tried it even for full frame Canon I have to say that this mirroreless version that made sigma is superior compared to reflex versions in terms of sharpness, Flare resistance and weight.... the feeling when you have it in your hand is of a solid and well built lens and also lighter than the reflex version, the shots that churn out this jewel are from the very first lens comparable if not higher than the sony g series in terms of photography.... in T.a it is sharp if it closes slightly it becomes a samurai sword, backlight there are no traces of ghosting and not even loss of sharpness, the blurry that churns out are dizziness, creamy no cat's eye bubbles are circular that seem drawn with compass, very light vignetting and chromatic aberration almost absent ... I think it's the ultimate 35mm lens for mirrorless photography! a must have!
