Sigma 35mm f/1.4

[Pi]

that is not what Im saying, the pictures I show are equal exposed and have the same distance to the back ground, do you want to make a special order  of certain distances?

Not many people have access to both lenses, so you can really do interesting comparisons.

You can try to take a picture of an object staying at, say, 1.5-2m from you, with a bookshelf with books at 4m from you, or something similar. The idea is for the background to be blurred by a little, and to be of "busy" type.

BTW, I have many great shots with my 35L, but quite a few which reveal the busy bokeh. I am not asking you to do something artificial. You must see double lines with both lenses; I know for sure, that they can both do that in certain real life situations.

And two more, now please tell me where  is Canon better when it comes to bokeh, or vice versa.
To me they are very similar

I think we can kill another myth, that one of the lenses are so much better regarding bokeh - agree?

I am loving my Sigma 35mm!  I thought I would not get another 35mm prime, after selling my Canon 35L off last year.  I sold it because I used it seldom and had just got a 24-70mm f/2.8L II.  However, at the price I was able to get the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 for (I had Amazon points), I could not pass it up.  I have been very pleased by the results, which I will say are better than what the Canon 35L was able to do.  This thing is bloody sharp at f/1.4L and resistant to harsh flares and chromatic aberrations.

Some samples taken on my 5D Mark III:

If you take macro shots, yes.

Just look at the real life examples above my post.

I really do like this lens.

I have shown many other  distances in the other thread

This lens has become my default walk-around lens these days. Even rocking in terrible-light-midday-sun.

Lovely shot, pdirestajr!

I really love this lens for close focusing distances- perfect for hanging out with the kids. I'm always more into lying on the ground up close, rather than sitting across the room with a longer lens

Awesome shot pdirestajr, the new sigma 35mm seems to be a winner to me.

+1...I ended up with Sony RX1 for odd angle shots. AF speed is not that fast, but I still managed to capture my kids in action.
