That's it for this. I'm outta this thread.

I am out of this discussion as well - since we are obviously having different applications for an f/1.4 lens.
Just wanted to clarify one thing: You seem to think I am trashing your choice of the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 ART - and I am not. All I am saying is that I find the 1.4G series good enough for my needs (even with a high rez camera) - and I find the sharpness differences between 1.4g and 1.8g series not a lot if any. I have not tested the Sigma ART series (since I have already had the 1.4g that I saw no reason to sell as for my application they are working out fine). Please go back and check my posts - and check if you are overreacting.
I have already provided my final points (that I will summarize):
1. I think sharpness differences between the lenses like 1.4g/1.8g/pro zooms are overblown. That is my real world experience using the lenses I own and have owned & sold - and with some testing between them.
2. My application of the f/1.4 lenses are not landscapes but portraits - as for landscapes I find lenses like 14-24, 24-70, 70-200 plenty sharp for D8xx resolution stopped down appropriately. BTW I would only buy an f/1.4 lens if it has a good bokeh.
