As a filmmaker/photographer I shoot most of my projects on my Canon 5D Mark III. While traditionally it is best go for lenses that offer full control (full time manual iris and focus) I personally find it best to search for lenses that can accommodate both cinematography and photography. I need manual focus for shooting video but I also want auto focus for photos.
This lens does it all.
The build quality is fantastic. It's metal body gives a sense of sturdiness that's hard to find in most other lenses. It's enough of a step up from say the Canon 35mm 1.4 L lens (which feels more like plastic) to make you forget that the lens isn't weather sealed. Then again nether is the Canon L lens so it's not really an issue for me.
The auto focus system is quick and silent. It's so quiet that you might even forget that it's on. Also, the switch from AF to MF has a fool little white indicator when it is in Auto.
The picture quality is very beautiful. The colors are lovely and kind of contrasty, the sharpness is great and even the bokeh is buttery smooth. Given that the lens has a nine blade iris this is to be expected.
Image quality remains stunning even all the way open at 1.4 with pretty much no issues like chromatic aberration, ghosting or other such things that come with shooting wide open. And even if they do appear they are easily fixed in post.
Even when shooting video with this lens I was very impressed with the quality that the glass was putting on my sensor. It gives the video a kind of expensive look as if you were shooting with a Zeiss or even a Cooke lens.
I can't recommend this lens enough. Rather you do photos and video as a hobby or as a pro this lens is a must own. And for the price it is most defiantly worth it.

35mm F1.4 DG HSM | A
Our True Flagship
The Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG HSM is a state of the art lens designed for full frame cameras but can also be used with APS-C sensors as well. The first addition to the Art category in Sigma’s Global Vision, the 35mm 1.4 DG HSM includes new features based around a unique lens concept and design. The 35mm is a staple focal length in the world of photography, and paired with Sigma technology, this lens can take artistic expression to the next level. The lens is equipped with technology including a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), floating internal focusing system, SLD and FLD Glass elements. The HSM ensures quiet, high speed, accurate autofocusing while the floating focusing system allows for superior optical performance with subjects at a closer shooting distance. The SLD glass elements along with the FLD glass elements, which are equal to fluorite, help correct both axial and chromatic aberration. The large 1.4 aperture make it ideal in low light and the lens is compatible with the Sigma USB dock and Optimization Pro software to adjust and fine tune focusing parameters. The Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG HSM is a must have for any camera bag.

Hesitant Purchase - Gamble
I have had previous Sigma lenses (50 f/1.4, 10-22) that I have used on a Canon 7D. Both lenses were never sharp and seemed to always have questionable focus. The 50mm works great on my old Canon 1D Mkii though, tack sharp every time, which tells me that Sigma has had problems with the Canon focus algorithms. Even with micro focus adjustment my previous experiences made me very leery, especially given that I had rented the Canon 35mm f/1.4 and had great shots and consistently sharp auto focus.When the lens arrived it came with the traditional black sigma padded case, which in my opinion is better and more useful that the Canon L series leather pouch. When the lens was opened I was surprised at the feel of the lens, all metal, heavy and focus was smooth and had a quality feel to it. My older Sigma's felt fine but not the same quality as canon L series.I am now shooting with a Canon 5D Mkiii, so I took this lens out for some shots. I hear some people complain about vignetting when shooting fully open. There is some but nothing that is terrible or any worse than what I experienced with the Canon 35 L. Images were sharp, focus was consistent and shot fully open gave some great bokeh for a 35mm focal length. I will admit that it seemed the focus was a hair slower than the Canon 35L but nothing that was a deal breaker for me.Overall I am very pleased and saving 400 dollars from the Canon version what can I really complain about?

Thanks to the ever-evolving technology and consumer demands, we have plethora of options to choose from but what matters the most is finding the right fit.
I am a big fan of Canon's nifty fifty. But then, it fell and my heart broke. Investing another 9-10k on nifty just didn't seem right. And I waited for almost 5 months to grab a new lens. My research and extensive reading rewarded me with a gem of a glass. Enter, Sigma 35mm.
Canon currently do not have a 35mm, well let me rephrase that, Canon currently do not have an "affordable" 35mm the 35mm 1.4L currently cost around 1Lkh+, which is a huge huge investment for an amateur like me. Hence, I decided to put my trust on Sigma 35mm art (which is still not cheap but comparatively cheaper than Canon's)/
In terms of image quality, this lens is just pure joy. There's a bit of focus issue with Canon body but thankfully, I have gotten over it.
The video from this lens is just breathtaking. Almost makes it a necessary item to have in your arsenal.
Overall, I am more than satisfied with my first ever Sigma purchase and I think, I am gonna be sticking with Sigma for sometime now.
