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

Bought a Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 lens in September 2022. The lens pleased with the simply excellent quality of the optics - the picture is quite working and sharp starting from an open aperture, even on the capricious 24MP Nikon D7200 crop. Nice drawing - the transition from the zone of sharpness to blur looks quite good, spherochromatism (color bokeh) is minimal, less than that of the native fifty dollars AF-S f / 1.4G. Sharpness is better than the AF-S 50mm f/1.4G, especially wide open. The bokeh is also quite decent for a 35mm, but you have to understand that the nature of the background blur on a wide-angle lens will never be as soft and creamy as on a telephoto, even at 85mm. Sigma Art 35mm works for me on two cameras - D750 and D7200, I don’t experience any problems with autofocus, it focuses more stable and faster than fifty dollars Nikon AF-S f / 1.4G. There is only one problem with this lens - there is an incomprehensible scatter in the operation of specimens. The display sample focused reasonably well on the full-frame D750, but missed the mark completely on the D7200. They brought another one from the warehouse - it worked perfectly on both cameras. So when buying, you should be careful. I can’t imagine why this can happen, because. the workmanship of the lens is at the highest level - it is tightly knocked down, there is no backlash, it is heavy, smooth, made in Japan. The highest sharpness across the entire field of the frame again speaks of high-quality assembly and adjustment at the factory.
