I recently bought the 35 1.2 and for me the weight isn't a problem since I shoot with 70-200 2.8 & Sigma 135 1.8 at events and weddings so it's just another lens in the kit for me. It's a beautiful lens and produces sharp quality images, plus 35 1.2 is a rare focal length, so I will keep it. Now the issue I do have with this lens is that it doesn't have the aperture ring lock. It does have the click/de-click switch but no locking switch. I don't use the aperture ring at all, I prefer changing my aperture in camera. What happens when I do events and weddings is that since there is no aperture lock and the click of the aperture ring isn't very stiff, it will turn and reset your aperture. When you notice and switch it back to the "A" position, the aperture defaults to F4, and I have to dial F1.2 back in via my camera dial. Definitely gets annoying when you are moving around working to get shots composed, and you notice you are at F10. My solution is to tape the ring in place. It's not pretty , but now my aperture stays where I want it to be
It's also worth keeping in mind that the 35mm F1.2 has a much heavier vignette than the 35mm 1.4 dg dn - meaning that for a large portion of the frame, light gathering capability is nearly the same. The question is really down to whether the slight difference in look justifies both weight and cost.
I have the 1.4 16mm, i wanted a wider focal length. The sigma lens has been amazing, love it at low light, panning cars or architecture. Combined with the Polar Pro mist filter its my favourite combo.
I used to own the 1.4 and now I have the 1.2 and the only people that will really see a difference is photographers. Clients will never be able to tell. The 1.2 is sharper but not by much. The weight of lenses has never been a concern of mine.
The f/1.2 is still an incredible lens! If I was only rocking one lens and I didn't mind the weight and size, I would definitely choose the f/1.2. But ya, I absolutely love my 35mm 1.4!
Can you tell the difference between the f/1.2. and f/1.4?

Thank you for having me! The shots are amazing
Thank you! You did amazing and I'm so thankful that you we're able to pull through last minute!
Yeah she made both lenses look good & our choice harder to pick.
I choose the 1.4
The size and weight difference makes the f/1.4 a beast!
I prefer bokeh at f1.4, it's easier to read the surroundings but the subject separation is still good. F1.2 is too blurry for my taste.

My pocket favorite is F1.4 and usually is more than enough, I will say F1.2 is a must only for very low light conditions when becomes really worthy.
Agree don't get me wrong the sharpness on the 1.2 was unreal but the 1.4 is my go to! It's smaller, lighter and quality is unreal!
Did you always use the lowest aperture f1.2 and f1.4 in your examples or did you use for example f4 in the sun? thank you
Why is it half a stop? Isn´t it just 1/3?
my goto lens on my channel for sure! waiting for the 1.2 nikon version but tempted to get the sony version and adapt it!
Keep waiting bruh lol
The video I was looking for. Thank you!

They're amazing lenses and usually half the cost of native manufacturer lenses!
was there a difference in the colors between the two?
What focusing mode are using on Sony A7IV ?

Though it dose lower the iso noise.

fotografija snimaljena sa sigma 35 1.2 izgleda prestizno-skupo.i to je dovoljan razlog da opravda vecu cenu i veliku tezinu samog stakla.
I love all your videos they are great good job😍👏👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much 😀
gonna go for 1.4! 1.2 is too big
Great choice! The 1.2 is amazing but is a big lens!
Es para matarte a coyejones, dejar los objetivos ahí y no en una bolsa de transporte, quw poco profesional,hoy 3n dia cualquiera se cree 😂😂😂algo
