Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art REVIEW vs Sony 35 f1.4 GM vs Sigma f1.2 and f2

I had to stop and thank you for the video. You including the Sigma F2 was great, but you showing all of them mounted on the camera was really cool. Size factor matter for me.

Why didn't you compare 100% crop examples?? This way we can't see which lens is sharper which should have been kinda a big part of this comparison.

Returning to this in late 2023 – I'm bummed about the wide-open performance, and I think it's a bit of a miss from Sigma on this one. If it weren't for color fringing and bokeh rings, I think the Samyang 35mm 1.4 II would be the best competitor at the price.

great and detailed video. Really helped me on my purchase

Sigma 1.2 is best
Even better than the Sony albeit slower focus and FPS

The Sigma 1.2 appeared like the best lens of the three, hands down. But it's huge. Sigma 1.4 is the best value. Sony sits in the middle in terms of quality, but most compact of them all.

Thanks Gordon. That was a lot of solid work. Like your rigorous reviews.

You are the best!! Thank you

Love

Fantastic! How would you compare the 35mm 1.8 sony to the 35m 1.4 sigma? Optical and rendering wise?

You compare the Sigma in the end with the Sony 1.8 and I wonder why not comparing it to the Zeiss 1.4 which is (although it is a bit older) the direct competitor in this price range. So a comparison would be appropriate here.

Thanks Gordon, need this for my SL2. Wish theyd do a 50mm 1.4 DN lens...

You should do a comparison of the Sigma 35 f1.2 and the Sony 50 f1.2. The 50 is not quite a 50...and the 35 is more narrow than 35.

Your best comparison review ever. You should win an Emmy for this!

I actually wanted to buy the GM but then I found a used Sigma 35 DG DN for 650 dollars and this was a no brainer! So I bought it

You're a machine, Gordon! Love how every test is illustrated and presented rather than just asserting stuff. Your reviews have been a help to me from years ago when I started choosing systems and cameras, to now when I am buying lenses.

Great tests thanks. Will be getting the GM. :)

Thanks a lot for the thorough review, Gordon!
Did you realise any heavy CA with the Sigma 1.4 DG DN?
Considering the even larger price difference in Germany to the Sony 1.4 GM (converted: Sigma £726 vs Sony £1450!), I heavily tend towards the new Sigma 1.4. Will likely order it later this week. Cheers

sony dont have a 35mm 1.8 G... there is no G in that lens...

Nice to see the 35mm F2 included. The size difference is quite apparent and for traveling, I think it's hard to beat. It's nice to see a slower F2 model as well with an aperture ring and above average OOF rendering. Up from there...and if I were looking for the speed...I'd probably just go 35mm 1.4 GM. Although, some end of year rebates on the Sigma 35mm 1.4 could make it significantly more attractive by widening the price gap over the GM.

Sooo, I'd go Sigma 35mm f2 for travel and 35mm 1.4 GM if I wanted it all...size be damned.

Undisputed heavyweight 🤣😂
Love your videos 👍

Just so informative, thank you so much!!!

Wish somebody just make the 105 1.4 smaller lol

带字幕看完了，简直是见过得最详细的测评之一，很有帮助！

The sigma 35mm 1.2 has terrible LOCA, terrible!

Thanks! Please sigma give us a 135mm dgdn or 104

Great job, thanks.

So if you had a choice between the Sony and sigma, price doesn't matter, which would you get

Mr.Gordon Laing
Splendid!
I thank you for your review.

どうもありがとう(*^_^*)

good job there Gordon!

Outstanding review, thanks a lot Gordon. So I will stay with the f/2 for smaller bags and if I need to lift heavy, I'll take the f/1.2. Didn't know it's that good! Now I have even more fun with it, although on L-mount sometimes and some lenses are some different stories. Somehow...

How do you admonish badly-behaved bokeh balls?

You’ve set the bar for lens comparisons very high with this one. Bravo!

Got the Sony zeiss for years. Then 35 GM release and I know that is it. This new sigma no doubt is better than the old Sony zeiss. But it is still so big and heavy.

Looks like GM is the way to go -- assuming one has the budget for it.

Thanks for the video Gordon! Would love Sigma to try to make their lenses a little bit smaller (without making the lens slower).

Sony 35mm 1.4 is smaller

Hello
Make a video about
Iphone 12 Pro VS
Iphone 12 Pro Max

So far third-parties have zero support of AF tracking at faster than 15 FPS bursts. "Sony does not always support its fastest burst speeds with third-party lenses..." is misleading.

Hah, Gordon you are awesome. But I also like Thomas’ very detailed reviews on the camera labs website. I haven’t bought book yet but I will.

the Sony 35mm F1.8 is no "G" lens

Thanks for all the work you do! 👍

Keep grinding. Your content is incredible. Thanks!

BRING ON THE RF VERSION! And while you're at it Sigma, an f/1.8 variable zoom would be nice.
