Review on πŸ“· High-Quality Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens for Canon, Black, Compact Size (340101) by Pin Lin ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

I shoot with canon 550d. It is good to shoot 1.3 people from a distance of 1.3 meters. It is good to shoot objects from a distance of 0.3 . 1 meter. When they took it, they tested it on a canon 6d and it worked perfectly. Then I switched to canon 550d. The front focus has become noticeable. Did not reflash. I sharpen manually through live-view with magnification. Then you can definitely choose the focus on the pupil and the pictures are excellent. In autofocus mode, it's easy to miss with such a small grip. I also noticed an effect - when you use a shutter speed of 1/100 . 1/640 in a room with light bulbs, the flashing of the lights becomes noticeable and neighboring frames are obtained with different lighting. The white balance is unpredictable as the fluorescent lights flicker green and blue. When you watch burst shots, you get the feeling that the light is moving around the room in waves. Sometimes this effect causes moving shapes to shrink. Apparently, the light waves somehow correlate with the shutter and the movement of a person. It is treated if the lighting is normal or you use a flash.

Pros
  • Sharpness, good blur. Sufficient angle of view for crop. You can shoot under the light of a light bulb with parameters - f / 1.4 - 1/125sec - iso100, that is, in the dark it gives 2.3 stops of advantage, which is very important for indoors. Good hood. Dark color so as not to attract attention.
Cons
  • Big weight. If the camera body is weak, then it is better to hold the system by the lens, otherwise the body will bend during sudden movements or impact. Too sensitive scale when pointing manually - on the verge of hand sensitivity. Distance scale: 0.3.0.6.1.2. Infinity - could do a little more, although not too annoying.
