[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 135391, member: 12977"] I have the Sigma 35 1.4 and the Nikon 24-120 and the Sigma is better at every aperture. Sure the Nikon beats it on convenience but the Sigma is the better lens by a mile. And it's very well built, as good or better than the Nikon 24-120. There's a reason pros are buying the Sigma to use on the D800/E; it's one of the best lenses made. From the DxO review: [COLOR=#3C3C3C][FONT=arial]Sigma has stated previously that it was upping its game with new pro-level lens designs and the new 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM is not only on a par with OEM lenses optically it surpasses them in most areas, especially in both acutance and resolution. It’s lens that’s designed not only for the very best of today’s sensors but it appears well suited to handle the demands of the next generation of high-resolution imaging chips. The lens sets a new benchmark for optical performance for a retro-focus lens in this focal length and it’s a feat that’s even more remarkable given the price is well-below that of any of the big name brands.[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
