Thanks for the clarification. I guess I will send my 35mm and 50mm with my D810 to Sigma. I hate messing with Af tuning. I'm just too lazy.


Me too...

I bet... I've seen YOU!! and your pics ... NO WAY I WOULD COMPLAIN...even if you gave me a blank CD

Was just curious about the crop...



Ya, I would have thought a 100% crop would have included only the eyes and nose and mouth. This looks like maybe a 50% crop unless the top one isn't the original Will.

Doesn't really matter anyways, the image is sharp like wustof.

^ Yeah, Corey... the top was shot in 1.2 mode and cropped tighter to 8 X 10.
Set the slider to 100% of the original and posted that. Should be close. Thx

That makes much more sense now Will! I was about to question what you were doing shooting in 5x4 mode .

I think I may have finally tuned mine properly. More sample photos will be uploaded after work

Mine required an AF fine tune of plus 2 on the D800. As yet I have not had to use the dock, though it might well as I run it at different distances. My 35 Art required a bit more.

Got mine yesterday, what a beautiful piece of glass. I was very impressed with the 120-300mm S that I picked up late last year, but I think the 50 is even better made. Feels great on the 800 with a grip.

If I didn't already own the Nikkor 35mm (which I love) then I would have picked up the Sigma 35 too .Nothing to show yet but hope to snap a few with it soon.

Well for what it's worth, mine is on it's way back for an exchange. I'm hoping I just got unlucky, mine had focus issues. I couldn't get it to consistently focus on a static subject. 1 out of 4-5 photos would be sharp. The others unusable.

I'm getting a continuos clicking sound on my D800E with this lens on live view mode when exposure time is longer than 1/4 sec. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have noticed clicking sound from D800 and 50/1.8G in live mode because of P and S mode need to readjust aperture when light changes. In A and M mode it was silent. In regular non-LV mode, the aperture is always wide open so no clicking. D600 did not have this problem as it is not changing actual aperture in LV (only displayed value is changed and aperture is changed after the shot or LV-reentry).

I just joined (today!) the club of Sigma 50 1.4 Art owners, and am very happy already!
I bought it with the USB dock: wanted to be have the chance to fine tune, and also wanted to play with my 35 Art.

First impression: very much surprised of the heft of the lens: it is big. But oh so beautiful, even more so than the 35, due to the dimensions and the hood.
Second impression: once calibrated with the usb dock, the lens truly is sharp already at 1.4.
My copy improves very little at f2, then becomes fully "transparent" by f2.8.
I still have to try it on the D610 (played with it on the less dense D4) but am very well pleased, and now understand in full all the comments on this thread
