After the disaster with the firmware upgrade of the Sigma 35mm f1.2, for which no solution has been found to date and with regard to a completely incompetent and unfriendly service department of Sigma, I will think carefully about the next purchase of a Sigma product.
Such things should always kept in mind when assessing the price of product.
What was the issue with the 35 f1.2?

I'm not much of a sunstar shooter, and it's been dark and dreary all weekend. With 9 rounded blades, I can't imagine it will be a strong point for the Sigma. The CV's 10 straight is probably much better suited for sunstars.

Initial thoughts is that is performs similarly to my CV 110. The MF experience is better on the CV, but I think I can manage MF with the Sigma. I had planned to use the Sigma when I'm out with the family and can't setup properly for macro with the CV. I'll try to post some more, but here is a f/2.8 shot from both the Sigma and CV. Both were processed through Photo Ninja and no CA correction (or fringing) was enabled.Sony a7R III + Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG DN Art @ f/2.8

The Sigma has softer edges on the bokeh, at least in this shot.
I'll try to post some other comparisons later.

Way more evident on the CV. Which is why I'm surprised because I had that lens and never had anything like that pop up. It was on the Riv though so maybe that is the difference.Yeah both look really good though. I'd never be pixel peeping that much anyway. How are the sunstars on the Sigma?
I think the absense rather than presence of sunstars is a strong point of the Sigma. I don’t like sunstars and think it looks like a cheap filter effect. Besides rounded aperture blades improves bokeh in the close up and macro range.

Interesting. When you look at the full size files you see magenta and green in the wood post base (on the CV) that is in the middle (in focus area and pixel peeping of course). The Sigma has none of it. I would have thought it would have been the other way around.I think the absense rather than presence of sunstars is a strong point of the Sigma.

For this focal length sunstars aren't high in my priority list and I can appreciate smoother macro rendering with rounded bokeh balls. I do love sunstars, but mostly for wider focal lengths where sun will fit the frame a lot more often.

In the macro range, yes. OOF highlights get a polygonal shape, which isn’t very attractive. I don’t especially care for sunstars, but for those who do sunstars are most relevant in landscape images. There are examples to illustrate this in the thread dedicated to this lens.

I like multi purpose lenses which is why I asked about sunstars. Yes I like the "cheap filter" effect as well. Always rather have the ability to create a look than not have that ability. I'm intrigued with the Sigma regardless (mostly because AF is useful in those other areas) as a macro (which I don't do alot of), landscape, Portrait, and even street lens. I had the CV110 (and used it for all 4 of those things) and never noticed any issues in Bokeh but then that's a personal taste thing. I would be interested if you could point to an example of this on the 110 thread because I have seen a heck of alot of nice images there and don't remember a "bokeh" being particularly distracting. I'm sure there is one, I am just having trouble I guess visualizing what your talking about.

https://phillipreeve.net/blog/voigtlander-110mm-f2-5-apo-review/
Maybe Tim could have a look these days at the Sigma's flare / veil with the sun just outside the frame. The CV 110 can certainly look very "vintage" in such situations.

You can see examples partway down in Dustin Abbot's review

And some in Phillip's review
https://phillipreeve.net/blog/voigtlander-110mm-f2-5-apo-review/
Just the nature of a straight-bladed aperture. Whether it causes anyone concern is as you note a personal taste thing. I would have preferred rounded blades, like the CV 125mm, but it's not a show stopper for me.

Thanks to both. Have seen both before. Guess it's a taste thing. I have seen both these reviews and in my experience with the CV as well I don't mind the bokeh. With any lens you will run into (for lack of better wording) busy bokeh depending on distance and subject at some point. But so far I'm not seeing anything noticeably better in that regard from the Sigma. Which I am interested in still basically for the added AF benefit.

No comparison or pics (beyond maybe one example) needed, just your assessment that the subject still has suficent contrast and color instead of being obliterated by a colorful veil. Does it look more like a vintage Carl Zeiss Jena, or more like a modern lens like the new Sigma 85mm? Big thanks!
