Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG (for Canon) – ( B&H / Amazon).Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG (for Nikon) – ( B&H / Amazon).One of the first lenses to be released, is the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM wide-angle lens: Each line has a clearly defined concept to guide shooters in the selection of the right lens for their photographic interests”. From Sigma’s website: “all newly produced interchangeable lenses from Sigma will be designed for and organized into one of three product categories: Contemporary, Art and Sports. My interest was piqued though by the news that Sigma is releasing new lines of lenses, and tightening up their quality control. Generally, staying with the big camera brands is a decision that can be made with confidence. The main reason though why I keep within a certain brand, is that the top names tend to have the top lenses. The spendier equipment (which performs well), tend to be designed to look good. But actually, there is a correlation of sorts. I know, I know … how pretty a lens looks has no real correlation to how spectacularly it performs. Yes, I do like my cameras to have a certain aesthetic appeal. Part of it is that the styling of the lens and camera is more consistent. Similarly, I only have Canon lenses for my Canon bodies, and Nikon lenses for my Nikon cameras. When I shot with Pentax way way back, I only used Pentax lenses. Not so much for a lens being esoteric or collectible, but rather that I have a particularly strong preference for the name brand lenses. I have to admit upfront that I am a lens snob.
