Sorry - I don't have access to a Siggy 35mm Art; but here is my Canon 35mm f/2 IS just about as close as I can get with it (OOC JPEG):

I've chosen a reference subject that I hope is familiar to you! The size & weight of the lens are perfect on my 6D for carrying around. It isn't a "bokeh king" but it is sharp, sharp, sharp, and the IS works really well. It is my most-used lens - hardly ever comes off the camera.

I certainly wouldn't mind if I had a box of those on my desk right now! Thank you for your quick reply too!

Not familiar with that box specifically - but I am familiar with what might be of a similar in size (Celebrations). Looks like that is pretty close (Another contender is the Tamron 35mm f/1.8 actually which apparently closes even closer...!) The Canon seems like a great all-rounder though - even in terms of size and weight in comparison to the Sigma. I could imagine a 35mm lens living on my camera too though - and the Canon is certainly a decent contender for that post.
