Review on Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art DG HSM Lens for 📷 Nikon - Black - 3.7 x 3.03 x 3.03 (Model 340306) by Van Chay ᠌

Hello everybody! I took it on the D200 as a standard 50mm. The build quality is excellent, but you can’t compare it with Zeiss and Leica - they are in no competition on all counts. FURTHER EVERYTHING GOES IN COMPARISON WITH NikkorAF-S35mmf / 1.4G (in the text - COMP.): The most important thing in the lens for me (I don’t know for others) is the work of lights and shadows, contrast and midtones, work with light - this is based All photography is its foundation. Sigma and SRAV. are not particularly different here; The second important thing is bokeh and blur. Sigma bokeh also has worse backgrounds, but there is little frigging. At SRAV. bokeh and blur is better, but everything is just IMPOSSIBLY GREEN and bokeh and all blur!; What follows from the previous one is that Sigma is definitely better in HA, especially in friging! SRAV. more chromate and especially a lot of friging! The foreground is just all purple! Rear just well, all green! In a lens over 60000 - this is UNACCEPTABLE! This is just rudeness towards the photographer!; Saturation (color) is the same; Spectral sensitivity (sensitivity to certain zones of the spectrum) - СРАВ. goes a little into the red spectrum - yellow; The sharpness of the Sigma is better; Phase autofocus will always lose in accuracy to contrast autofocus (although it is slower than phase autofocus) even on the cheapest soap box. The set up new SRAV-Nikon link is more accurate than Sigma, but over time, phase autofocus decalibration is inevitable, and you won’t get anywhere from the “submarine” called “Nikon” - you will go, like pretty little ones, to the adjustment, and you will pay Nikon for it fun, and I bought a docking station for Sigma, and everything is done at home and for free. So - reportage shooting - DEFINITELY take CF., unhurried creative work - Sigma with a docking station. Dust and moisture protection in SRAV. Yes, Sigma does not! For field conditions only CF.! Whoever is careful can take a chance with the Sigma - there are no retractable parts (“trunk”), therefore the ingress of dust and moisture will be less, but it will still be. The price / quality / functionality ratio of Sigma is almost ideal in comparison with SRAV. and with other analogues.
