Re: Sigma 35/1.2 Art E-mount rolling review at phillipreeve.net
Agree that the corner performance at wide apertures is really outstanding. The coma performance isn't half bad in the extreme corners either. I can't see wanting to carry this lens into the field over my 24 1.4 GM though so I'm not sure these applications are my use case. Environmental portraits and event work would be. The idea of being able to punch into a 52.5mm f1.8 aps-c crop mode frame broadens the appeal. The longer I fiddle with this hobby, the more I am attracted to extreme glass. Tools that will set my work apart from so many others. I also like the idea of knowing that it's my talent (or lack thereof) that is making the difference. Never the tech.
I think this lens will be very hard to beat for a long time to come.
Here's a link to a size comparison. Looks to be close to the length of the 135 and 140 grams heavier.

Have looked at the updated review with infinity crops etc. Still looking like an amazing piece of glass. The corner performance at f1.2 is stunning, although other than for astro I couldn't imagine ever shooting it wide open and caring about razor sharp corners.
Sorely tempted by this lens. I was keen on the Sony 35/1.8 but this looks like a winner and Sony haven't even announced availability for the 35 here yet so...
