Suppose you were in the market for a lens that covered the 35mm focal length. Which would you choose:

  • Canon 35 / 1.4L II ($1799, 3.2 x 4.2 inches, 760g)
  • Sigma 35 / 1.4A ($799, 3.1 x 4.8 inches, 811g)
  • Canon 35 / 2 IS ($599, 3.1 x 2.5 inches, 335g)
  • Another 35mm prime (please specify)
  • A zoom that covered the 35mm focal length (please specify)

Thanks for participating!

The weight of the Sigma is incorrect. It is not 811 grams, but rather 665 grams.

Thanks for the correction! I have no idea why I wrote 811 grams. Weird!

If the Sigma 50A is any indication, better IQ means more weight (?).

I expect the 35 / 1.4L II to perform better, IQ-wise, than the 35 / 1.4A. How much better, of course, will be seen, hopefully, in a side-by-side comparison such as this one comparing the 50 / 1.2L and 50 / 1.4A.

I intend to buy it and if I do not sell my 35L, that I really like (and if I do not get banned), I will post comparisons. I never liked the Sigma 35A but I will try the Sigma 50A some day.
