This new Sigma is shaping up to be the very best 35MM lens currently made, although not perfect it excels in so many important ways. Used with some discretion to avoid the flaring issue it achieves virtual perfection. The environmental portraits displayed in the video were truly excellent, your wife must be complemented on producing a perfectly focused and very well composed portrait of you. Great work as always Dustin Abbott, thank you for sharing.
She did nail that one :)
This lens is an advance in optics construction. To be able to shoot at 1.2 with perfect sharpness throughout the scene and perfect contrast ...Phewww, Sigma is rolling! I may have to rethink my whole lens arsenal with all these new DN lenses.
I'm always impressed by the way that Sigma takes on the "can't be done" challenges and then does it.
Dustin I always appreciate your reviews. Thank you!
You're welcome, Dilan.
@ 13:20 your taste in suits is as immaculate as lens reviews! Not gonna lie , I'm lusting for this lens now. As always , too notch , classy reviews 👌
LOL - thanks. That's a nice little Banana Republic number. Their suits fit me well.
LOL: ironically enough, this expensive combo of 35/1.2 and A7r4 is the ideal setup for beginners /novices, as they can take off the lens cap and press the shutter release while aiming the lens towards an area where there are humans, and then later on have someone cut out the person that happens to be in focus (so now we know why 61MPs is required !) now with perfectly sharp eyes.
Great episode Dustin, thanks!
LOL - that is ironic.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Joke aside; I am stunned by the awesome bokeh of this lens, it looks much similar to the legendary Leica Summicron 35 in my opinion. Finally Sigma got the bokeh right!! And thanks to the eye-AF we can put all our effort into composing and lighting instead of fighting to get the iris tack sharp. A final note: even old manual lenses can now benefit from eye-AF on A9/A7r4/A7riii via the adapters with motor from TechArt or Fotodiox ; simply AMAZING!
... very interesting review, Dustin. Thx! I like the flares of the sigma 35 / f 1.2 - they are part of the character of this extraordinary lens.
Interesting. I would not characterize them as such, but to each their own.
Simply the best reviews.
Thank you!
So it is, I agree !!!
13:02 Oh My God!!! That is some insane sharpness!!!!
It absolutely is.
Another comprehensive review. Thanks!
You're welcome.
Premium review for a premium lens. Thanks!
You're welcome.
Bokeh + Ikea = bohkea (as Dustin pronounces it).
~ love from a fellow Canadian :)
The funny thing is that no matter how you pronounce the word, someone will try to correct you. I pronounce it the "official" way according to the Japanese.
Thanks for the wonderful review! Simply the best on youtube. This sigma 35 1.2 beauty along with the 105 1.4 is a seriously incredible combination for portraits and even some landscapes. In a way the 35 1.2 reminds me a lot of the 105 1.4. Very similar performance and prone to lens flare. They are the first two lenses I got on my A7RIII. Been SUPER happy!!
I think that's a reasonable assessment. It's a great compliment to that lens.
Great review, as always. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for another amazing review! I prefer the color rendering of the Samyang. The Samyang looks more red/less green - very un-sigma like! Do you still have the 35L ii? It would be interesting to see the the comparison of the L adapted to Sony vs the Sigma. I have had a pretty good experience adapting that lens.
I do some comparison to both lenses. I wish I still had the Tamron 35mm F1.4 on hand, as that lens was actually stronger in the corners than the Canon and would have been even better competition.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Suprised Tamron hasn't released a mirroless version for the FE system.
Great review as always.
Thanks, TJ
I’m curious as to why you would compare it to the Sam yang Why not compare it to the 35 1.4 art
Simple - I have the Samyang on hand and I don't have the Sigma.
13:29 Whole lotta Christmas!
True enough.
Thought about purchasing it but decided on the 35mm f/1.8 Sony. I want a smaller lighter kit. I still own my 105 1.4 monster though lol.
That's going to be a common sentiment, and an understandable one.
Nice review, will be fun if the comparison can be done again with SEL35F1. 4 Zeiss
I can't vouch for that, as I don't know if I'll ever have both lenses at the same time.
Best review ever
That's very kind. Thanks!
Dustin Abbott you’re welcome!
Revisited this before making a decision (Sony 24 GM vs this lens) and at 13:33 you made me smiling like an idiot again. :) Thank you! Great job as always!
It's a beautiful lens, for sure.
Is the Tamron 35mm f1.4 ever coming to Sony? Tamron 35mm vs Sigma 35mm f1.2 vs Sigma 40mm f1.4 would be such a fierce battle. Your experience that the 35mm gains more sharpness in the center but much less so in the corners stopping down 1 stop matches the measurements of Lensrentals. I like how you tested flare a bit. I read reviews for the three lenses but they all had very little flare testing. Maybe all the elements in the two Sigma lenses adding to the weight also make the flare a bit worse.
Good review as always.
That particular Tamron will not come to Sony, as it is a DSLR design. I'm almost certain that Tamron will deliver a dedicated 35mm F1.4 at some point to Sony, and if it performs like the SP DSLR version, it would be a very special lens.
Dustin do you ever see tamron releasing the 45mm sony e mount
Dustin, I can't help but mention that your thorough and amazing reviews, remind me of the reviews that the Angry Photographer conducts on his channel. 🤣🤪😅😂😝
LOL...particularly when it comes to Sigma lenses, I'm sure.
Great looking lens - the flare problem is tragic, however.
I agree on that front. I find it fairly destructive.
A perfect premium lens fow wide protraiture. Its worth it watching your video. Sir
Glad to hear it.
I can't see myself buying this over sony's 35mm f1.8, it's size and price makes so much more sense in my opinion. I have to carry my own gear and I need more than 1 lens in most of my shoots. If I walk around with 1 lens I want it to be relatively light.
That's obviously the weak link of this lens. The size makes it a poor fit for some photographers.
Thank you! Fantastic review, as always. I own the Samyang and this sigma looks very good as well. Is there a situation in which you would need such sharp corners at apertures below f2.8? In almost every situation, they are out of focus.
If you are shooting a group shot at a dark wedding for example. You might shoot at f1.2. People would be on the same focal plane and you're standing far enough back so the depth of field isn't a issue. That's when you would want edge to edge sharpness.
Ian has provided a reasonable situation, and I would add that I often compose near the edges for close focus shots where I want an out-of-focus scene beyond, but your point is a fair one. Classic portrait lenses often purposefully left corners a bit softer in order to allow for sharp centers and a smaller size.
Good round up as usual Dustin, but in your opinion, how would the new SP 35mm 1.4 Tamron fair against the Sigma?
That's a good question. I think the sharpness levels are similar, and it's possible that the Tamron has ever-so-slightly nicer rendering. The Sigma has an aperture advantage, obviously.
@@DustinAbbottTWI That's good to hear, especially with the Tamron being the same size the Canon 35mm f1.4L and would be great seeing them all tested, but then that must be the story of your life being asked so many times to test certain lenses together! lol
Pretty much! And since I only have one of those lenses on hand right now (the Canon), that won't happen!
Thank you for another great review of a very interesting lens. I'm thinking more and more of replacing my Sony 35mm 1.4 with the Sigma 35mm 1.2...
I definitely would. I had three different copies of the 1.4 and had to sent them all back because of bad QC. Gave up and just got the 24GM on launch day but I still miss the 35mm focal length. This one look to be just perfect for what I need.
@@TheDeadTexan My Sony Zeiss 35mm 1.4 copy isn't that bad as it seems (www.flickr.com/photos/123745682@N04/29350575530/ , www.flickr.com/photos/123745682@N04/33099868423/in/photostream/). Love the bokeh of the Sony Zeiss- But I'll probably do the switch anyway, because the Sigma is sharper and allows even shallower depth of field.
It's not an easy call to make, as each lens has its own strengths. The Sigma is a very strong lens, though.
Thanks. Great review! Question; it has 1/3 stop larger aperture over the sigma 35 1.4. But is it actually brighter (T-stop)? If you can comment on this and compare it with the 1.4 for sharpness in your final review that would be great.
I'm afraid this review series is already completed and the loaner lens returned to Sigma; I work in advance.
In your opinion comparing image quality would you recommend the Sigma 35mm 1.2 or Sony Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.4?
I think the Planar has slightly more contrast, but the Sigma is sharper at larger apertures.
Hi Dustin, this is more about build than IQ, but is the focus ring linear? In that, could you use this lens for repeatable focus pulls?
Frankly I've yet to have good success with any mirrorless AF lens when it comes to MF focus pulls.
Dustin,Do you predict Sigma will release the Sigma 35mm 1.2 for Canon and Nikon Mirrorless System?
So far my Sigma contacts (and Tamron, for that matter), have not made much noise about R and Z mounts. I think Canon's big sale and moving lots of EOS R units will help some, but the rumored R5 body could go a long way to pushing them in that direction.
Dustin Abbott I hope Sigma Release the 35mm 1.2 for Canon, I have seen some images from that Lens that is very impressive. I am Married to Canon and would strongly consider get a Mirrorless Body for that Lens. Sigma has really improved and stepped to the plate‼️I have the 85mm 1.4 Art and the 50mm 1.4 Art, I kinda wish I had purchased the 105mm vs. the 85mm.... Well as I digress, please keep us posted on new developments of Sigma release the 35mm 1.2 for Canon
Love you work and thanks for sharing
RR
I wonder if they will make an EOS or RF mount in the future? Checked the website did not see either.
So far neither Tamron nor Sigma have announced any RF or Z mount lenses. The feeling I'm getting from my insiders is that they are taking a bit of a "wait and see" approach to see if those systems develop any real market share.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Thanks Dustin I guess that would make sense and on another note did you see Canon dropping the price on the RP & R cameras and the new Ra camera?
Love the review of the Sigma 1.2. I was considering getting the Sigma 40m 1.4 for street photography but when I saw it in person it was very huge. Therefore I decided to go with the Sigma 50 1.4 for my A7RIII.
The 40mm (which I'm reviewing right now) is a little larger than the 35mm F1.2, but not by a whole lot.
I got really bad loca in the eye at 1.2
That surprises me, actually. I didn't see that.
LEICA APO-Summicron-SL 35mm f/2 ASPH (Black Anodized Finish) = the best 35mm on the planet ? don't know, how would it fare against this Sigma @ f/2 .... since both Leica & Sigma are part of the L-mount alliance with Panasonic ! we'd only know if someone compares them on Panasonic S1R or Leica SL2 ... !! easy guess, the APO lens should win.
warm regards.
My experience with APO lenses is that they have unparalleled contrast and color pop, but often suffer a bit in the bokeh rendering as a result.
@@DustinAbbottTWI thanks Brother.
Can somebody make a high IQ 25-50 F3.3?
-
Lenses are not great or worth the money simply because they have a wide aperture. The sad thing about the FE mount is that the company who chose to focus on high IQ lenses of moderate aperture - namely Zeiss - had also chosen to make their entire Batis line unnecessarily FAT. I love the fact that the 3rd parties are stepping up with more choices for the mount. But, I really want a SMALL lens with superlative IQ, not giant bazookas.
I've never seen a lens with quite that focal length, and I suspect that marketing an F3.3 aperture would be near impossible (F3.2 is actually the third stop). I fail to see where a lens like that would be better than, say, the Tamron 28-75mm F2.8, which is already quite compact and light and has excellent image quality.
I just point out that the Samyang is now one sale for 469$ !! and the Sigma is 1499$!!
That makes a pretty huge difference, doesn't it.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Indeed it is almost 3 times more expensive!
Great video, just wanted to let you know that your Daughter is having a bad reaction to glyphosate, a prolific herbicide. If she gives up eating all grains and only organic veggies her face will clear up completely and she will probably feel much better.
Palentier how do you know that?
@@cbear3030 when he zoomed in on her face I recognized it. I've helped a lot of people cure their skin conditions through eliminating these kinds of things from their diets. With nearly a 100% success rate.
What are the key identifiers?
Oh my, someone is sleeping on the sofa tonight
LOL - my wife already knew. I told her I put this in the video, and she agreed.
"Sleeping on the sofa" is something that happens to ball-less "cucks" which let their wife be the boss and are despised by their wife because of that. I'm sure that Mr. Abbott is not prone to such wimpish behavior.
are you a Pastor?
Yes I am.
