2nd Set of Pics - Sigma 35mm F1.2 with S1R - I am in love!
I took the Sigma 35 F1.2 out for an official spin at my local park, with my lovely wife and daughter whom is always gracious enough to pose for me.
My quick thoughts, coming from the Sony Camp and using the Zeiss 35mm F1.4za, the Sigma is more sharper, even at 1.2, The Zeiss may have just a bit more punch of color, but the Sigma isn't far off. The build goes to Sigma, so does the heft. You can get very creative with the F1.2, it's fun. AF is actually pretty good, S and C, the Eye focus was good as well. The MFD is very good, I can get pretty close.
For me it is worth the price tag. How tack sharp this lens is wide open is unbelievable. My favorite lens in my bag was the 50 S Pro and followed by the Sigma Art 85, the Sigma Art 85 has been bumped to 3rd place by the Sigma 35mm F1.2. The Panny 50 S Pro is still a special lens and my favorite and it does surpass the Sigma 35 1.2, but not by much. However, if I had to take one lens, it would be the Sigma 35 F1.2 because of it's versatility.
I am not a professional, just a highly enthusiastic photographer who loves everything photography.
Most are shot wide open and very little post, if any.
