Thanks for that resource, but now you have me salivating again. I was going to wait for the 35GM, but now I'm close to buying the Sigma 35 f/2. Even though those buildings are fairly far away, the portraits in the square demonstrate some nice separation.
Feeling a little of that myself. I'm mostly interested in the Sigma for a future α7C purchase: my 40 CF is very similar but not a great mate for the α7C due to its inflated design. Optically I'd call the match between the two six to one, half a dozen the other, etc.

I applaud Nikon's f1.8 series for generic use and rated them higher than most offers out there. Now I give the crown to this Sigma set for achieving balance between performance, size and price. (Nikon's are bigger cross family) Sure the looks is a plus. I voted by my wallet.
Yeah, I am really puzzled anytime people complain about the 1.8s. Like, I prefer Sony's 20mm and 24mm compact options (especially as Sony's 1.4 is smaller than Nikon's 1.8) but uh... do people not realize as a series they're basically the best 1.8s ever produced? If Sony continues their 1.8 G-series that might change, but serious kudos to Nikon. To be pedantic, I'd say the Batis line falls behind due to inferior execution—my 40 doesn't really shine until 2.5, the 25mm was a great optic at the start of the mirrorless era—less cutting edge now, the 18 is almost completely outclassed by the 20 G... and only the 85 and 135 managed to walk out unscathed (except for pricing).
While I'd say the I-series still falls a bit short of the S-line, the size difference makes it a meaningful compromise IMO. Especially when paired with an α7C—it's almost like you're using an aps-c cmaera. Really impressed.
