Sigma 340101 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Lens for Canon, Black

Product Information

G Master was able to shoot at up to 30fps using the electronic shutter with AFC, whereas the Sigma 35 1.

There is a very pleasing blend of glossy, matte, and ribbed surfaces that has both a modern yet elegant design. Then Sigma shocked the photography world at the end of 2012 by introducing this beautiful new lens that looked nothing like a Sigma. and while both turn very smoothly, the Sigma felt a little stiffer and required a longer turn to travel through its focus range; that said I found the Sony easier to manually focus.

You’d expect weather-sealing on a high-end lens, but remember the original DSLR version of the lens was not sealed so this is an important upgrade. Pricier options in both L-and E-mount ecosystems will best the Sigma in some ways, but the Sigma is nevertheless easy to recommend.

We're fans of the lockable aperture ring, silky-smooth focus ring and rubberized, lockable lens hood in particular. High performance, high quality, and high end in every respect, these lenses give people who love photography lasting value and consistent, exciting results. I had a chance to shoot in highly directional sun while visiting the Mer Bleue conservation area in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. If you want a bag that doesn't look like a camera bag or prefer to make your own DIY solutions, they're worth a look. It is the reason why this lens is now in so many photographer’s kit; it delivers in the resolution/image quality department.

It almost appears as if the lens is zooming-in and this can be distracting when pulling focus for video. This is one distinct advantage for Sigma lenses, though reports from a variety of subscribers indicate that it doesn’t always solve the autofocus issues. Movie autofocus is smooth, quiet and hassle-free with none of the hunting of AFS in stills, nor any issues with accuracy or repeatability. In conclusion, if you are a professional and need the best, most accurately focusing 35mm lens, the Canon 35L II is the new top choice; the Sigma isn’t even close.
