Sigma 340101 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Lens for Canon, Black

Product Information

And videographers will also want to bear in mind its significant focus breathing, although that's also an issue for the Sony lens to a somewhat lesser extent. But look beyond the size difference and again it’s easy to see how this more expensive lens is crisper on the details, similar in fact to the Sony although lacking its ultimate contrast here.

Movie autofocus is smooth, quiet and hassle-free with none of the hunting of AFS in stills, nor any issues with accuracy or repeatability. On larger L-mount bodies like Panasonic's S1 and S1R, the Sigma 35mm balances really nicely: you may find it a bit front-heavy on the more petite S5, but in general, the well-sized grips on Panasonic's cameras help make this lens feel a bit less heavy than it is.There is a switch on the side of the lens to move between Autofocus and Manual Focus, similar to the switches found on Nikkor lenses. The Sony E-mount version performs the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction, with the benefit of it also being compatible with Sony’s continuous AF modes, which are not supported by the MC-11. DG DN Art is prone to a little bit of longitudinal chromatic aberration, also known as LoCA, although this is common for most lenses of this type (and its performance is far better than the original 2012-era 35mm F1. High ISO was not good, I guess it has improved since I dipped my toe in the water (panasonic GF1), but I also prefer the 35mm sized layout of full frame (guess thats because I am an old timer;) ). Cat's eye effect is an issue, though, yielding football-shaped (or for non-Americans, rugby ball-shaped) bokeh, and not just in the corners but almost to the center of the frame at F1.

Designed exclusively for the use with a SIGMA Contemporary, Art, or Sports lens and its accessories, the SIGMA USB DOCK allows users to update firmware and customize settings on lenses in these lineups. Thus far I have not found any third party lens that focuses quite as fast as the best Canon USM lenses.Above: Taking a closer look reveals sharp details around my eyes as well as attractive smooth rendering in the background – an improvement over the old DSLR version of the lens which often suffered from busy bokeh. This is one of the most studied bogs in the world, and provided some very unique shooting opportunities. Once mounted on a body though they’re in a similar ball-park and you won’t notice much difference in a bag.
