Until recently, the Sigma was considered to be one of the sharpest lenses ever. The reviews show, however, that the GM should certainly be a bit sharper.
But one shouldn't ignore the copy variation: I had several copies here due to the defective autofocus of my Sigmas because of the firmware upgrade and the difference in sharpness with open apertures was dramatic, from good / very good (none was bad) to absolutely fantastic / unbelievable, everything was there...
That means a very good sigma will beat a average GM in terms of sharpness.
And of course, size and weight speak clearly in favor of the Sony. I don't like the autofocus with the Sigma either, plus the debacle with the firmware...
But I still don't have seen beautiful pictures of the 35mm GM, showing beautiful "rendering", but that's subjective.
