Christoper we love your reviews man, the best reviews period. Keep us informed sir!

Great review, you really provide some of the most thorough and accessible reviews out there. Like others, would love to see a comparison between this, the Samyang 35/1.8 and the Sony 35/1.8.

Great stuff! Been hoping that 45mm F2.8 would turn into a series, and now it has :-)

Hope we see a comparison between this and the Sony 35mm 1.8. After owning the 20mm, having an aperture ring is super helpful.

I cannot wait to get this for my A7c. The idea of having an ultra compact full frame HYBRID camera is just what I want and these new sigmas look like they’re the perfect match for me.

Fantastic review CF! Your review system is brilliant! I would love to see a compart contrast between Sony A mount and E mount lenses on the newer Sony bodies. Is the price for the old A mount lenses justifiable when compared to the newer E lens? Thanks CF!

Nice review again! I wonder if you’re going to make a comparison between FE 35mm f1.8 and this lens?

Thank you Christopher for this review. One thing I didn't quite catch from your review: Are the LaCA and LoCA performance better than the Samyang and Sony equivalents? Could you kindly provide a bit more info in this regard?

Great, look forward to you reviewing the 24mm version when you get it :-)

I just bought this lens for travel and street photography, I like that it's compact and optically 90% of a sigma art

Excellent set of tests; I enjoy browsing your lens tests with their highly standardized way of commenting them. Two brief remarks: 1. The longitudinal CA is tested at rather close focussing. This may or may not not be representative for situations in which LCA typically impedes on image quality. For me personally, LCA at metallic reflexes or water drops at magnifications lower than 1:50 are the most annoying causes of image degradation by LCA. 2. Sometimes you include coma tests in ultrawide or very fast lenses, which makes pretty much sense. I would like to suggest adding sunstar characteristics to the set of tests, especially with wide angle lenses that often catch up the sun or other bright light sources in the image.

I would be really interrested in a comparison between this one and the sony 1.8/35

I'm thinking of adding a NEEWER fe to z adapter to this lens and use them on my ZF. Thanks for the review!

Chris, hope you can pick up a Loxia 50mm f/2 for Sony sometime, the sharpness is quite something.

Thanks for all your great work Christopher..... if you fancy a niche journey into telephoto - would love to hear what you think of the Fujifilm XF 200mm f/2. Thank you :)

Oh yes, a Frost lens review after a long day of work.

can you revisit the famous Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM? your old review isn't as good as yours today and I would love to see the retest of that lens, especially on EOS M6 Mk.II. Always love your videos and love from Indonesia ❤️

Hi Christ, i do like your testings, i do learn a lot from you. Thanks. I just bought a a7cr and looking for a 35 mm compact lens. I knew that you do like sigma lenses. So I went and bought sigma 20 mm dg dn. But I am still in process if taking a desition between sony 35 oss, sony 35 f 1.8, sigma 35 mm f2. What would you choose? Thanks. Hal from Spain.

Hi Chris, would you have a chance to test the Zeiss Batis 25/40 f2 and 85 1.8? They're not cheap but I think they can be very recommendable. Thank you.

If Sigma makes Fuji lenses, I want this series to be the ones to come over!

i don’t think the vigneting as a weekness. i love this defect, if you think it is so.

I'm a little sad there wasn't a section on Coma smearing like with the Samyang and Sony 35's. Would love to see a comparison against those 2.

It's insane that this tiny lens is about on par with the Sigma 35 f/1.2 for image quality (check Gordon Laing's vid)

Great review except for the AF test done on the same old A7rii.

Waiting for 35mm f1.4 dg Dn

sexiest design. I hope when sigma makes their fuji lenses next year this is the design they go after

Would love to see a comparison between this the Viltrox 1.8 and the Samyang 1.8 since they are all around the same price.

If i had noticed this sigma f2 lenses (65mm, 35mm, 20mm) earlier, i might not spent times and money for other lenses. Recently i made the change - turn out my camera have this new looks~ I just wondered why this lenses are not as popular as any other standard lens design

Which is better in low light the sigma 35mm 2 or the sony 35mm 1.8?

Is this a stronger performer than the Samyang 35mm 1.8?

lets see how far in price this drops because at 600+ it's hard to justify because the sony 35 1.8 regularly goes for under 500

So many 35mm options for the Sony system. I've been looking for one for a while now and can't decide. And there's also the rumor of the Sony 35mm GM that might come out. Choices, choices...

@@stephanpaier9887 Hallo Stephan, Sony teilt ja meines Wissens nach (im Gegensatz zu Nikon und Canon) die Spezifikationen seines Bajonetts mit anderen Herstellern. Dementsprechend können auch Fremdhersteller die Korrekturfunktionen verwenden - obwohl ich mir nicht sicher bin, wie "mächtig" diese sind, denn die Sony Objektive sind meist noch besser korrigiert als die von z.B. dem Sigma 85mm 1,4 DG DN, das auch nach der Korrektur meiner Meinung nach noch etwas "krumm" aussieht. Es könnte eventuell sein, dass Sony sich einige Funktionen selbst vorbehält. Bei Objektiven ohne Kontakte (Laowa etc.) funktioniert die Korrektur natürlich nicht.

This design looks cool when it's new and clean. But it won't be easy to keep it clean, there's plenty of ups and downs in this lens design where dusts and dirts will stick strong

Handling, travelling and response will be better with the i-35, but if your shooting and travelling conditions allow it then the 24-35 may be more versatile (esp. with an SLR in the stable). The combined weight of the i-24 and the i-35 is still lower, though - so you could also go for the twins.

Thanks, that was lovely. I am a bit confused though. "In camera correction" is mentioned, and I had no idea that the Sony cameras had correction data for third party lenses, and for a lens not yet on the market even. Is this correction perhaps made through an "algorithm" that analyses the images taken, and not based on the build of the particular lens? I just tested with my Sony Alpha 7 m3 and the Sigma 100-400mm with the corrections turned to auto and off, and I can not see any difference at all. By the way, I very much prefer the uncorrected images. 🙂 And it would be very interesting to se comparisons of the corrections being turned on and off.

@copperx

3 жыл бұрын

Native lenses may provide the correction data via the lens mount contacts. So if the lens has the corrections, the camera can apply them. Even better, Sony embeds these profiles into the raw files so that Capture One allows for selecting the "manufacturer profile" which fixes the issues the same way. This worked flawlessly for the Tamron 28-75 while Lightroom users had to wait weeks or even months for a profile. So, there is no algorithm that tries to analyze the picture.

@fellowcitizen

3 жыл бұрын

Part of the concept for the I-series is to make use of computation. The Art-series and Sports-series are less likely to. YK stated that he was initially opposed to computational correction, but after commissions for high-end customers who used them, he changed his mind after seeing the results and opportunities - though still favours optical correction. Sony and Sigma have to agree on terms to make these lenses possible, so there may be an agreement regarding corrections. Sigma have stated before regarding Canon that they pay for the legal right to reverse engineer the protocols. Sigma would include the corrections in the lens data in a format which the Sony camera would interpret. My suspicion is that some of the high-performance first-party lenses are Sigma designed as part of these negotiations.

@@ockelboi9948 you're welcome! This approach is basically the best solution to avoid loading lens profiles into the camera (like canon did) and allows using new lenses straight away with proper jpeg correction if the lens manufacturer handles that correctly. Especially film makers who often rely on in-camera correction surely benefit from that. Still there might be lens profiles shipped with your raw converter that are a bit different and maybe better, so if using raw, make sure to check if there is an explicit profile that might be bettet than the embedded "manufacturer profile". At least with C1 you have the choice. 👍🏼 Still I love my Sony FE 50/1.8 in terms of size and quality :)

If you can wait seven years then I'm sure you'll be able to get the i-35 for $400 ;) I think the unique build quality adds to the manufacturing cost and appeals to the Zeiss/Voigtlaender/Leica + vintage Nikon/Olympus lens crowd, so the base specification isn't a good price of comparison. Consider that they may last as long as 2-3 lighter-built lens acquisitions for fieldwork :) The existing Art-series lenses are already distinguished by being well-built, but they're also big and the pre-2017(?) ones are not sealed.
