Review on Sigma AF 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Canon EF lens, black by Micha Chmielewski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I made the decision that I needed something broader than an uninteresting fifty kopeck piece when I realized that I intended to shoot in apartments and homes. There were two choices: 35mm or the New Canon 24-70mm 2.8. In our sunny St. Petersburg, where there isn't much light, I understood that 1.4 would still be more useful. Then came the decision between Sigma and Canon art. The latter received so many favorable evaluations that I didn't even bother making a decision. In order to photograph a friend and her family, I grabbed a Sigma, switched to a Canon 5D Mark 4, and hurried to the park. Then I was in for 2 surprises))) Thankfully, this can be turned off in the camera's settings. 2. The focus is somewhere, but not where it should be on some frames. 1. The photos appeared to have protective circles around the edges. We immediately purchased a docking station because it is cheap and calibrates the lens by itself. then comes the most crucial! You should be aware that there is a marriage involved with the coldest 35mm lens, and that this marriage is NOT calibrated. There are 4 parameters in the calibration software, each representing a different distance from the object. The final indicator, known as 0.8m and to infinity, cannot be calibrated in any way if the preceding three can be. It now has a new lens. The new one was exactly calibrated, and it has been excellent for a year now.) By the way, it was used to film masterpieces that were published on illustrious blogs. If you shoot a little from below or above instead of straight in the forehead, it produces a pretty cool cinematic image. It contains everything that is required. Furthermore, despite popular belief that a wide-angle portrait cannot be made, the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 lens allows you to create interesting portraits. I take a lot of pictures with it; if you're interested, you can view a lot of them on my website, photobysergeeva. Moreover, life style photography is becoming more and more popular in photography. The ideal lens is right here! The finest and exclusive option, in my opinion, for this format. Generally speaking, highly recommended!

Pros
  • a clear, crisp, appealing, and cool image
Cons
  • From 0.8 meters, it won't be sharp unless a marriage occurs (read why in the comments)
