In general, the positive aspects cover its shortcomings, for its price it is very competitive with native optics. I got an exact copy, it works clearly on my canon 5dm2 and 6d cameras. There are friends who had problems, but dancing with a tambourine with a docking station solved them. I shoot almost everything for them, reporting, staging. My main combo is 35+135 2.0, I rarely wear 85. If you decide to take this particular lens, then get ready for the fact that you will have to suffer…

Those who say that they miss autofocus - do not be lazy - figure it out well and align it even at home using the worlds and the docking station. For example, after self-alignment, the percentage of defective focusing by 1.4 fell to 20%. I began to confidently shoot only at 1.4. You can shoot the whole wedding only for them. On a full frame with 21 megapixels, you can safely crop even up to the equivalent 50mm, even up to 85mm - sharpness, resolution and the almost complete absence of chromatic…

I buy lenses both in 2022 and on eBay. So, in the 2022, the purchase usually takes place in the format "drag everything, I'll choose the sharpest one." This is the first lens in RF when I did not know which of the three to take, since all three were equally sharp in the open without FF and BF. I express my sincere gratitude to Sigma. They did an awesome thing. If the same is done with the rest of the fixes, I will completely switch to Sigma. I care about quality and convenience, not the…

Personal experience: Before that, there were 35 2.0, 50 1.4, 50 1.8. I bought a lens for 6D in sigmaphoto in Hong Kong. Of course, the picture on the open blurs the background to zero, but the autofocus let us down - there is no confidence in it - if it is further than 3 meters, then that it will hit is not at all a fact. Therefore, the desire to photograph them became less and less. In poor lighting, it should focus better with such a hole, but on the contrary, it crawls endlessly where 35…

Before him, there were many different lenses, naturally and electric - wide, telephoto, etc. but not one lens evoked such a feeling that you would never want to sell it, and this is the thing that should be left forever. Of course, I want to say about the feelings of the two lenses left after testing in the store - this is sigma 35 1.4 and kenon 35 1.4. Well, it’s not better than canon, but it’s just as cool, it’s pleasant in the hand, it’s accurate, fast and all that. But Sigma is not…

I bought this lens two years ago. I can confidently say that this is the best lens for the Canon system that I have had. It is universal, despite the fact that the fixed, focal length, as well as the advantages that I indicated above, allow them to shoot in a variety of conditions, up to dark churches, where only candles are lit and lamps are full of heat. I use it with 6D, my working aperture is f / 1.6 - well, except that groups of people can be shot with a larger value, otherwise - there is…

The lens was chosen for portrait photography and works in combination with both the 600D crop and the 5d Mark III. The picture is just great. It can be safely compared with the native L from canon (also available in the state). The convenience of being able to align at home with a docking station. I regret that I did not have time to buy it before the price increase, but I did not doubt for a minute when I checked it that I want it.

Working f1.4 Carefully used, but under the main lens of a grain of sand! If it were possible to return it back. 35mm on the crop is not for me. A little bad with the vet and rushed, the focus crawls, a miss. I bought it with a back focus, sent it from the Hong Kong region to Hong Kong for adjustment because of it, I also had my Elka, etc. with a camera. After the adjustment, it got better, but still there are misses. The picture is a bit like Zeiss. I use it on canon 550d eos. I gave it to a…

I have both 24L and 35 and 50 and 135, only the 85th is not available, but it will be someday. I don’t know how Sigma succeeded, but the glass is simply magnificent. As for the colors of my native elka - I beg you, maybe someone can see something with a microscope, but the joy of peeling at 1.4 with sharpness is something. What smears, I'm even glad, otherwise how can the owners of 35L reassure themselves?

I have two 5dm3 and one 5dm2. Sigma 35 / 1.4 art smeared on all my three full-frame Canons. And I meticulously checked in the store, filmed the text, the table - at an angle of 45 ° - everything seemed to be fine. At home I realized that smears. I bought an adjustment dock, set it up from a tripod according to the table. It got a little better, but still smeared. It smears unpredictably: either back or front. I do not recommend anyone to buy any sigma, you are tormented. I left this glass…

I still leaned towards buying 50 1.4 in favor of the correct proportions of faces and objects. From a distance, you can very similarly take pictures on the phone for yourself. Clients like their photos larger by 50mm than by 35mm. The phone can similarly shoot at 35mm focus, but the phone can’t shoot at 50mm, here longer-focus optics draw proportions differently, so you can’t shoot on any phone with shorter-focus optics. Therefore, my choice in favor of 50mm. There were 2 35mm lenses: 35 Art…

Glass produces a double sensation. On the one hand, this is a working 1.4, high-quality design . And, in general, an indisputable breakthrough of the manufacturer in lens construction. On the other hand, absolutely not usable with my 5D MkIII. With this lens, the Canon camera completely refuses to focus with all focus points except the center one. And this is on all the copies I have tested. There were three. Two of which gave front focus at close range and back at distances from 5-6m . And…

The new Sigma series changes the look at non-native lenses, which have become, if not better, then definitely no worse than the Elek. Feels and looks like Zeiss! The picture with Sigma 35mm 1.4 is strikingly sharp even at an open aperture (after adjustment), but the nature of the image is more straightforward and for some, for sure, a softer picture with Canon 35mm 1.4 L will be closer. The problem with alignment is also solved at home (a tripod, a test chart printout, self-timer) and by…

Despite the autofocus problem, the score is 5, because. the glass is really very good, although the price for it is not so attractive now. There is only one advice: buy a lens only where they will give it to you for testing for some time (in my case it was 2 weeks) and during this time check it in full under a variety of conditions. Before that, it is better to thoroughly dig on the Internet about the compatibility of the lens with your camera and the real possibility of aligning it on your…

I bought it in 2022, the cost for that year was only 27,000, the version for Canon cameras. Everything seems to be fine - pleasant tactile sensations from the lens itself, looks good on the camera, excellent sharpness, BUT the picture gets bored very quickly, there is no plastic like in the original canon 35k. Now the average cost of this lens is 55 - 59,000, I would not buy for this price .

Guys, this is simply the best lens. The combination of versatility and quality and beauty of the picture is the best I have ever seen. I shoot weddings, I have to do a lot of reporting. So, after this sigma, I sold Elka 24-105, because it began to gather dust in a bag idle. At 35, you can easily shoot both one person and take group pictures. Focusing is not perfect (in terms of accuracy). If you focus purely on the center point and then do not move the camera anywhere, then most likely you will
