The Sigma 35 mm f/1.2 ART is a monster of a lens — massive aperture, tank-like build, and incredible low-light performance. But is it really better than the Sony 35 mm f/1.4 G Master? In this video, I compare them head-to-head to help you decide which one belongs in your bag.
I’ll show you:
📸 Why a 35 mm prime is the most versatile focal length for portraits & street photography
💡 The real-world difference between f/1.2 and f/1.4 for background blur and low-light
🎥 How Sigma finally nailed autofocus for stills and video
⚙️ Build quality & design details that make Sigma’s ART line stand out
🧪 Side-by-side tests of sharpness, flare, chromatic aberration, and bokeh
🌆 Why Sigma’s contrast and flare control beat the Sony in my real-world tests
Whether you’re a Sony shooter looking for the sharpest 35 mm prime or a hybrid creator who wants cinematic bokeh for video, this review breaks down everything you need to know before buying.
