Re: Nokishita - Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG DN Art priced at $899
Honestly, looking at early samples and watching a couple videos, I prefer the Sony 1.8. Not impressed with the close focusing distance, the sharpness wide open, and CA issues, even at the price. And that GM-like focus breathing, yikes! I'll stick with the 1.8 and if I want 1.4 I'll just cough up more for the smaller/lighter/sharper GM. Fast wides are fun when shooting close and the 1.8 looks much better. I shoot a lot of video, so the lack of breathing compared to the others is nice as well.
If the 1.8 was built like the 20G with the aperture ring I wouldn't be looking elsewhere. I wish Sony was more consistent with the design of its non-GM lenses.
