Hi folks,

looking for a little guidance.

Background. I have a 6D with a 24-70 f4, 40 2.8 and 50 1.4 and a range of longer L glass

I am looking for advise as to purchase a 35 1.4 or a 35 f2 for the nigh time walk around lens.

For day time I might sell the 24-70 f4 and buy the 24-105 STM 3.5.-5.6.

Thoughts please?

Please forget the Canon and consider the Sigma 35mm 1.4. Newer design, sharper images, better image quality, better value.

Your claims is completely false.

I have never found a wide angle prime sharper than the 35L. The sigma you mentioned is too soft, not razor sharp. None of the 8 copies I tried came close to the 35L.

?? Are you serious? Every review I have read on the sigma says it is sharper than the 35L. I had the sigma and mine was crazy sharp, sharper than any lens I have owned. I have heard complaints of focus issues with the sigma and some people prefer the bokeh of the 35L, but I have never heard someone say the sigma is soft.

I have also owned the Sigma 35, albeit with a Nikon D610. Oh, and who goes through 8 copies of lens before they decide against it? NOBODY.

Stanley Kubrik did.....

But amongst mere mortals, yes you are right.

Then again, my walk around night time Canon lens is either the 17 or 24 TS-E L ...probably the 24 3.5 TS-E L ii outdoors.
