Hoping Sigma can make a 35L alternative

(1/5) > >>

MK5GTI:
Ok, so i can't afford the 35L @ $1479 USD, and the 35mm F2.0 is not really what i am looking for.

I hope Sigma can make a 35mm F1.4 HSM just like the 50mm & 85mm, and have it price between the two.

I am sure this lens would sell well for Nikon and Sony mount as well, since the Nikkor 35mm F1.4 is ~$1650 and the Sony G 35mm is ~$1500

anybody else want the same thing?

wickidwombat:
i have the siggy 85 and its by far the sharpest lens I own (sharper than all my L glass too)
it would be nice if they remade their 50mm to this standard and a 35 too it would be killer

sigmas new non crincle paint lenses have really stepped up their game

Mt Spokane Photography:
I think lots of Nikon shooters would, their 35mm f/1.4 is not a good price to performance lens, while the Canon 35mmL is worth it.  I've had too many poor Sigma lenses to be easily won over, I've read good reviews, but when I got one, it was a disappointment.

the 85? mine was front focusing but a short trip to sigma for calibration and its amazing

dr croubie:
I've said it before and i'll say it again:
If you can get away without AF (like for landscapes, or anything about f/4 is hyperfocalled anyway), you can't do better than the Samyang 35 (although yes, the Samyang optical quality plus AF would be killer if it were less than $500)
