I had been eyeing this lens for a while. I'm so happy I finally got it. The quality of this lens is amazing. The physical structure is not plastic and really made well. The image quality is amazing. I can get super crisp images with this lens. I am mainly a portrait photographer, and I can say this was worth the wait.

I was looking for a standard 35mm lens so that I can get more into portrait photography and I’m so glad I went with this one! I’ve been using a Tamron 18-400mm zoom lens for the nature photography that I enjoy shooting most of the time. This lens really allows you to get comfortable with manual settings. It’s also extremely sharp. Haven’t used it for portraits yet but I am very impressed with the results I have gotten so far.
I am an amateur photographer but am looking to expand upon my skills. I probably could have gone a more cost efficient route with my skill level but I will be glad I went with this lens in the long run.

Unbelievable Lens

If you are looking to make the jump from basic lenses to pro level equipment, this is THE lens to start with. The 35mm focal length is versatile for so many applications, and in terms of picture quality, Sigma knocks it out of the park. But don't rely on the lens to make you a good photographer either. The lens can only take the picture beautifully. But it can't tell you what picture to take. So I wouldn't recommend this if you're still in the learning stages. But if you've learned the to an intermediate level and are ready to take the next step, this is it. Only issue I had was a pretty severe front focus tendency in the default autofocus. But using the USB dock (sold separately) fixed that right up and now it's a tack driver.

Built like a rock. Metal, not plastic. No image stabilization. Very true to life colors. Not as vibrant or vivid as Canon's RF 50mm L lens, but just as sharp. Focusing also just as fast. Also same are the faint clicking and buzzing noise as it focuses which your camera's mic would probably pick up if you're doing video. Bokeh is there although I'm having a hard time seeing the separations. Maybe I'm just used to Canon's. I can't complain about the image quality, but I fail to see the "art" in this lens. I would not pay $900 for this, but on sale for $750 it's about right.

I am new to photography, but decided to start investing in a camera/lens so I could get pictures of our family. I was nervous about getting a lens that wasn’t from Canon, but this lens is amazing! I’ve already taken several pictures of our toddler while bluebonnets were in season and they are so cute!!

Needed a wider angle lens for portraits and I chose this over others. This is definitely worth the price. The quality of the photos after I purchased this was immediate.
