Haha! You're the first person to mention my SD sweater. I love the Yes Theory channel - great content. And their clothing line is great too. Thanks for watching 👍
From your experience, can you give a quick rundown of how this compares to the sony 1.8? Also, in your latest video description (as of Feb 8th) you listed the Sigma 85mm 1.8 instead of 1.4 ;)
thanks for the video ! everytime i watch your new video , u make my day ! great reviews. In adition to that, i bought the viltrox 85mm 1.8 II and im super excited cuz of your reccomendation ! thanks for this as well !
What about the focus breathing?? I have the 45mm and it has almost no focus breathing issues, but as I can see the 35mm has some focus breathing issues?
Hey Irene. Focus breathing isn't something I test for unfortunately. Is this something that really effects your work? I can honestly say that in 12 years of capturing video I have never really worried about focus breathing. I'm interested to know why this would be a concern for you? Thanks!
Between the 65mm F2, 45mm 2.8, 35mm F2, & 24mm 3.5 i-series DC DN prime lenses. I wonder if they plan to release a portable DC DN zoom lens. Maybe a 24-55 F2.8.. I'd be for it.
@@TomCalton thanks. currently own the samyang 35/1.8 (sonly alphablog mention it is the sharpest out of the sony and sigma) so would be interesting to see your opinion on it - thinking of upgrading as this looks like a cracking lens
Started with Voigtlaender lenses on Sony, and moved on to Fuji and their XF lenses. Love the lenses, but do miss the all-metal build. Looking forward to these I series lenses on L mount.
Thanks for the great review! This lens looks great but somehow it's released a bit too late for me as I already own the 35mm 1.2 Sigma Art for "serious people photography", a (quite nice) cheap and light Samyang 35mm 1.8 (as walkaround lens) and a Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 Nokton for slow manual retro style photography.
Thanks for watching! In answer to your question, I only test wide open for 2 reasons. 1) The widest aperture on a lens usually offers the poorest image quality, so, if a lens offers good image quality at this setting it can only get better when you start closing it down. Therefore, not a huge point in testing it other than wide open IMHO 2) Test charts are a fairly dry subject and I can see from my analytics that a significant number of people click away if this section runs on for too long. So, I try to keep this part short and sweet as it's a necessary evil.
Currently I don't include tests for these things in my videos, though close focusing is something we're going to add to future reviews. Focus breathing isn't something I think we'll test unfortunately - most primes have breathing issues, so I feel like I'd just be stating the obvious in every single video. That said, if we get enough requests for it then I'll certainly reconsider. Thanks for the input!
Finally sigma has listened to the feedback about making smaller lenses. They realized having a brick isnt practical for most hobbyists.
That’s why I never bought sigmas no matter how good the reviews
Thanks for the review! I’ve purchased this lens and it’s a great walk-around prime for my Lumix S5, a joy to use.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful - enjoy the lens!
Love the Seek Discomfort Hoodie! Greetings from Germany :) Also great Review by the way as usual :)

Unfortunately I can't as I've not tested the Sony 35mm f/1.8 yet, but it's on my list of lenses I'd like to get my hands on. 😊
Hello mate ! Thanks for those video are amazing !!! So... thinma lens is good for Sony full frame ???
Thank you! Yep, this lens is designed for full frame cameras 👍
thanks for the video ! everytime i watch your new video , u make my day ! great reviews. In adition to that, i bought the viltrox 85mm 1.8 II and im super excited cuz of your reccomendation ! thanks for this as well !
Thanks John, you're too kind! Comments like yours make my day too 😊 Enjoy the Viltrox!
Great and thorough review! I feel like this lens, with its aperture control ring, is a good pair for the Sony a7c which is missing a front dial.
Thanks for watching! Absolutely, I agree!
Another epic review/episode 😎
Well played sir, well played indeed
Thanks bud, I hope you're well 👍
@@TomCalton Indeed mate. Merry Christmas 🎅

I'd like to see how it stacks up side by side with the Sigma 35mm f/1.2
Ask and you shall receive my friend... 😊
Would love to see a 35mm comparison with the sony 35 in the mix
Thanks Matthew 👍
Between the 65mm F2, 45mm 2.8, 35mm F2, & 24mm 3.5 i-series DC DN prime lenses. I wonder if they plan to release a portable DC DN zoom lens. Maybe a 24-55 F2.8.. I'd be for it.
Yeah, that would be pretty sweet actually! Fingers crossed 🤞
Sony 28-60 is sweet super sharp great colors. And cheap second hand
I'd more like to see how it stacks up against the Sony 35mm
Awesome, thanks for your feedback. Keep an eye out for this comparison video in the near future 👍

@@TomCalton Hi Tom! is that video available? I couldn't find it, but I might not looking well enough. Thanks!

I think Sigma is definitely on to a winner with these small, well-built lenses. Super nice choice for travel and street photographers 🤘

Thanks Stefan - I always enjoy receiving your comments! I hope you're keeping well bud.
Good review but why just the one f-stop test with the chart?

Yes! please compare the 35 1.2 against the 35 f2
Your wish is my command!
Thank you for this review. I will be happy to see a comparison with the sony 1.8 and the sigma 1.4. thank you :)
Here you go ☺️

@@TomCalton Thank you. now I am just more confused :-)
😂 Let me know if I can help at all!
I think this will be a strong buy in the new year... although I’d like to see it tested beside the 1.4 before making a preorder
No worries Scott, I'll make that happen for you 👍
@@TomCalton thanks Tom! Love the content and your review really helped when it came to purchasing my Sigma 85mm 1.4 DG DN.
Thanks dude! Glad you found it useful 🙂
how about close focus and breathing?
Currently I don't include tests for these things in my videos, though close focusing is something we're going to add to future reviews. Focus breathing isn't something I think we'll test unfortunately - most primes have breathing issues, so I feel like I'd just be stating the obvious in every single video.

I'd like to see it compared to Sigma 35 1.4 and 1.2 lenses
Your wish is granted!
Yes I want to see how this lens stacks up against the 1.4 lens
Thanks Bryce, I'll make that happen for you 👍
We need sigma I series for Nikon Zf...it would be great retro combo :)
I've still yet to find a 35mm I enjoy better than my zeiss 35mm 2.8 FE
Never tried that lens. Though for me, f/2.8 just isn't fast enough. I LOVE images with a super shallow depth-of-field. I have a problem. 😂
50 mm better
