The answer is: not bad for 35mm, probably best in this category

Wanted to ask this same question as forum opinions disturbingly differ on this matter.

Everbody agreed that the new Sigma 35/1.4 is one hell of a lens, one of the best, if not the best Sigma ever came out with. This is clear by now.

But while Lloyd Chambers of diglloyd fame keeps heaping praise on this lens - and its bokeh - we also had a respected forum member saying the Sigma's bokeh is downright awful.

So if we are to believe the Digital Rev Com video, the Sigma has the best bokeh in the Canon, Nikon, Sigma 35 mm trio. (Thank's for the link, it was very useful to put my concerns to rest.)

Of course, everything is relative, and if you want to see the über-cream of bokeh, you need to go a bit longer, like shoot with Nikon's 85/1.4D or G or something of that caliber.
