Whenever you have the chance, can you compare their flare resistance in strong back lighting condition? My experience with the Sigma 35 Art wasn't good. I am curious if Sigma has improved its lens coating and how it fares against Nikon's.
I shoot some pictures and I didn't notice flare.
I'll do more test shots during the week and I'll update this thread.

Thanks for these shots. I'm afraid it just makes me want either a 200/2 or a 105/1.4 though, I was super stoked for this 135 but it's not scratching the itch
You are welcome,
The 200mm f2 is an amazing lens and the results are unique but this is not an all occasions lens, I am doing a few weddings this year and I am looking for a lighter alternative to the 200mm and my debate was between the 105 and 135, the rendering of the 105 is just a little better than the 135 but price and focus speed makes the Sigma 135mm the winner for me.
Also everything depends of your lens configuration, I have the Sigma 35mm and 85mm so makes more sense to go with the Sigma 135mm than the Nikon 105mm.
