Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art
At the time of its launch in 2013, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art ($899) was a revelation. As the first full-frame prime lens in the company's Global Vision Art series it made a big impact, undercutting other f/1.4 lenses in price without sacrificing image or build quality.
Pros:
- Very sharp
- Wide aperture
- Attractive price
- Available for multiple camera systems
- Solid build quality
- Eligible for mount conversion
Cons:
- Heavy vignette effect
- Omits image stabilization
- Not the best option for ultra-high-resolution cameras

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Review
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 is unlike any of the Sigma lenses we have seen in the past. I must applaud Sigma for stepping up and challenging the big brands, by spending their resources on engineering new generation lenses with amazing optics – all at a great value.

The first time I used this lens, I was a bit dissapointed. I could find the sharpness like my 35 1.4L. The reason was that my art had e terrible backfocus of +18 on my 5D MK3's. After Sigma calibrated my lens, I had a nother lens!
Pros:
- Sharpness after calibration Bokeh Color Fast AF
Cons:
- Nice build but scratches quick | Sigma hasn't the quality control as Canon No service for professionals like CPS from Canon

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Lens Review (Canon Mount)
Overall, not a bad thing can be said about Sigma ‘ s 35mm f1.4 EX. The company surely put a lot of time and effort into the design and it ‘ s worth every penny. The lens is sharp as a razor, a relative speed-demon when it comes to focusing, and has some beautiful image quality.
Pros:
- Cost of Sigma lens vs
- cost of Canon, Nikon or Zeiss lens, Great image quality, Optional USB dock to update firmware, Fast autofocus speed
Cons:
- Lack of weather sealing

sharp!
this lens is better than the canon's 35mm 1.4L, period. it's sharper across the aperture range, focuses just as fast (if not a tiny bit faster), the build quality feels great. i've owned the canon 35L and had both at the same time before letting the L glass go.
Pros:
- very fast aperture
- great build quality
Cons:
- none

Nice lens! Good job, Sigma!
This is a very good prime lens for portrait, street shooting, and some landscape. Works fine on my Nikon D700, but need to adjust focusing with +15 fine tuning, not bad at all! Image quality is super good, someone said it is even better than 35G, which is $500 more expensive than this one!

This lens is just a pleasure to shoot with, and gives your pictures a unique look that just makes you smile. I'm sure you've read a ton of other reviews that talk about its sharpness, and I'm telling you they weren't exaggerating.
