Nice glass but this lens is big not travel friendly.

Overall a great lens minus the fact less than a week into owning it the auto focus went out

This lens has known issues. Autofocus misses quite frequently.

i love this it makes me want to sell my 50mm 1.2 to be honest should of gotten this 35 before the 50 ugh but can't complain...anyways the lens is sharp and 1.4 and that what i like sharp lens

This lens is outstanding. I'm using it on a Canon 7d Mark II and the pictures are amazing! Beautiful color, tack sharp images, fast focus. This lens has no focusing issues at all! I use the lens for product photography of my nail care products I sell on Amazon and to retailers stores.

The best lens out for Canon, just purchased a second one for my daughter's camera.

Great lens, quick delivery, has such good focus and has elevated my photos!

I know a lot of people love this lens, but I can't help but say that it doesn't compare to other name brands. Its ability to focus and the shutter speed is not as quick or pristine and it needs to be calibrated more often than other brands. If you get this one used, that's more worthwhile since it won't cost you as much.

Canon does not have an RF 35 1.4 yet and this is the closest you can get to filling that gap

Great lens, awesome price. Best buy is awesome!!!

I purchased this lens to use with my Canon and kind of hate it. I bought it because it has great reviews but in comparison to my canon lens it just doesn’t perform that great. The stabilization completely sucks, the focus seems off, and when you try to use it in low light situations it underperforms tremendously compared to my Canon lens.

I loved the lens when I first purchased it however, after almost a year I am starting to hate it. The autofocus is almost non-existent and while the photos look great on my camera to appear out of focus when in lightroom. Other than the focus issues it's not a bad lens for someone looking to take their photos to the next level.

This reviewer visited Best Buy today looking for a Canon 35mm 1.4 L II lens. The store representative who was very knowledgeable tried to steer me to the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens telling me that it was so much better than the Canon. It isn't. The Sigma lens is a nicely built lens, small, tight, and quick to focus EXCEPT, that every picture taken under an f-stop of 1.8 had a gray, semi-transparent, circular Bull's-Eye in the photo. The more open the f-stop, the more compact the target. The camera used was a Canon 5d4. We reset the camera settings to factory, no change. The glass looked clear but the photos were defective. At f-1.8 and above, the pictures were clear, tack sharp and the lens operated as expected. What's the purpose of buying a more expensive f1.4 lens if the lowest useable f-stop is 1.8? The store employee blamed Sigma's calibration but that hardly seems to be the issue. A calibration problem issue won't paint a picture with a grey bull's-eye in most of the photo. Something is clearly wrong here. This is a great lens wide open if you want to use the pictures for target practice but that's about all it's good for. It seems that Sigma has a different idea about what "Shooting" means. Avoid this lens at all costs. Needless to say, I didn't buy it. I'll save a few more dollars and order the Canon version instead. I appreciate the Best Buy staff for letting me try this lens in store. Saved me from a disastrous purchase. This is my second bad experience with Sigma. Regretfully, I purchased the last lens and inherited lots of focusing problems. That lens is still unusable. Fortunately, I was spared from a repeat experience. When I got home, I checked online and found reports and pictures of what I saw in the store. It seems that this Sigma Lens doesn't play nice with the 5d4. This photographer is not risking any $ on a product that behaves like this even if the company claims that firmware fixes the problem. It's not worth the risk. It is ridiculous that a clear lens should photograph or paint grey circles that don't exist. That is a major fail.
