Review on Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens for πŸ“· Nikon - Black - 3.7 x 3.03 x 3.03 (Model 340306) by Kai Wen ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is good, there are only a few minor flaws.

Mega glass! You can shoot them at banquets :) I have a 24-70mm native Nikon, BUT I use this fix on the street EVERY wedding, and I rarely shoot at 24-70 on the street (not every one). Very pleased with the sharpness (on the D800 carcass). However, if you move further than the extreme mark (on the focusing ring, the nearest figure before infinity), focus misses are possible (like with all lenses. It's just that this figure is different for everyone, but the behavior in terms of errors is always between infinity and the closest to her number) Recently, it has fallen in price a little, which has added to its attractiveness even more. (01/07/2022): experience of using . more than six months, more than 15 serious shootings (weddings, etc.) Still, he has problems with color. When processing straight, the brain takes out sometimes. I conjure quite a lot on colors (both camera calibration, and HSL, and split toning, and curves, and BB), and with pictures taken on this glass, there are almost always problems during processing. If processed in the manner of natural colors, then I think there are no problems. Basically, color problems occur when: 1. people in the shade (from buildings or mountains), and the backdrop is lighter (in the open air) 2. in cloudy weather, again in the shade (from trees for example) Even if the flash highlights what is in the shade, the problem usually remains . In general, my excitement about this glass has passed. Of the former satisfaction with them at 95%, 80% remained. Problems with color reproduction in difficult lighting conditions. Otherwise, he's cool. It will be especially useful for those who shoot at banquets, or who like natural colors in processing. Downgraded from 5 stars to 4.

Pros
  • aperture ratio, sharpness, price compared to analogues
Cons
  • sometimes creaks when focusing (probably from dampness) and sometimes the color rendition worries a little (little green, or something. somehow . a little . something seems like that .) But both of these shortcomings reduce its attractiveness by no more than 5% in my eyes;)
