That's what I've been telling myself a month ago. Now that I have one it's so hard to calibrate it right to the body but the results are just oh so worth it. The unsharp naysayers are mostly the people who never found a good way of shooting it.

Here's more damage

When you place the background and foreground elements into OOF, you get this kind of a creamy look (on the left half of the frame). It�s MAGIC!

A very quick question, which one I should buy daily use? A 58 1.4G or a Sigma Art 35 1.4?

The 58 1.4G makes stunning bokeh and color rendering.

Please help me make a decision.

Thanks guys!

I literally had not touched my Sigma 35 since I got my 58 1.4g. Threw it on today and I was blown away by how sharp it was.... but then I threw the 58mm back on. I can't get enough!

You know what? That's my interrogation too. If the 58 is the bokeh machine, what other lenses should the 58 be pairing with? the Sigma35 1.4 or the Nikkor35 1.8G (or 1.4G) or anything else?

I opted for the 58mm simply because of the much smaller size and lower weight. It's one of my fav features of this lens.

If I really wanted the 35mm focal length for daily use, I would get the nikon 1.8 fx. Not as nice as the sigma, but much easier to carry around.

I match the 58 with a 24mm 1.4. 35mm and 58mm are too close for me.

28/1.8 and 135/2 pair extremely nicely with the 58. 35 and 85 are just too close to the 58.
