This lens was their first one in Art series. I accept it and I don't really have focus issues unless I am very close to the field of study. My lens is one of the first and information technology is by warranty. Maybe Sigma fixed the trouble with the later on copies, I don't know. Regardless, you lot should buy new with iv year warranty and if you get the effect only return it. At that place is no set for that. Some other pick is to get Tamron 35mm. Information technology has no problems with the focus only it is more expensive.

Had the 35, only institute it non quite to my liking, and I was and then scared I would harm information technology (I paid the introduction price, information technology is cheaper at present).
The 30/1.four Art works very well for me, a shorter, stubbier lens, with nil issues.
Not the sharpest in town around the edges, true, merely I mostly use it on my J5 as a portrait lens. Awesome!
And cheap, likewise!

Existence over 65 I recall I have a correct to cull slightly lighter stuff.
My smallest is a Voigtlander 20/3.5, a darling little lens, not much bigger than my TCs!
Then if nosotros talk Nikon 1 some of the lenses are really petite, and it is the smallest cogwheel inside that fails, makes the lenses useless.
Led to Nikon stopping the DL line and closing downwards the Nikon 1 line.
I wish all of you A Merry Christmas and A Happy New year's day!

I don't like front-heavy lenses, commencement and foremost, then naturally, my heaviest is front-heavy and with monopod or tripod, really heavy, that is the Sigma 150-600 S, an amazing lens, all the same, and pretty dust-proof.

Just to prove that the xxx/1.4 Art is OK is an unedited shot of me but now!
I shoot with a large heavy cameras like D5 or D500 or D810 with a battery grip so the front heavy lens has to balance the weight. Plus it feels kind of unnatural for me to put a pocket-size lens in forepart. If I was shooting with 35mm a lot I would actually sell Sigma and purchase Tamron. Information technology is an inch longer and 140 grams heavier. Plus information technology supposed to focus a lot more reliably than Sigma. I also accept a huge roller example that can swallow at least iii bodies 6 lenses (Sigma l-100mm F1.eight is standing up) and two large flashes. Plus all the batteries I have and cables. And 15" laptop.

On my D600 I had to practice a lot of focus fine tuning (using both Reikan Focal, mostly), but on my Z half dozen it was spot on out of the box. I eventually sold it in favor of the 35/1.8S. I don't miss the size or weight of the 35Art simply sometimes I do miss that f/i.4.

Re: Is Sigma 35mm i.four Art focus issue that bad?
Man, this Sigma affair i so annoying!!
I just ordered my first Sigma art - a 50mm art and are waiting for it to come up. Hesitated for a long time merely I still take the risk tp become one for my beloved D850.
Also looking at tthis post for another potential purchase of 35/1.iv but yous pointed out some other choice of Tamron. BUT at that place is a review saying focus tuning betwixt Sigma and tamron will be confused by D850.
Are people being "critical" to Sigma or there IS an issue?
How come they tin can stay in business and keeps doing well?
What design philosophy is different backside Sigma vs. others to cause and so many focus upshot?
I heard a mirrorless torso will "compensate" this focus effect when the "troubled" Sigma lens attached? That'due south almost a guarantee, in the futurity Sigma is only successful on mirrorless body, DSLR body is no good to Sigma?
I'm and then confused and waiting to come across information technology with my own eyes but would appreciate if you share more than experiences to make my learning bend steep.

Early Sigma 35 Art, no problems yet.
I have had the Sigma 35 Art since early 2013. I take kept firmware up to date and have not had focus bug with D700, D4, D810, D500, D850, or Z7. I have used the dock, but accept not done any but minimal back focus correction back with the D810. I don't have whatsoever Tamron lenses and then I accept not had issues with Tamron and Sigma using the same registration numbers to communicate with the body.

Re: Is Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art focus issue that bad?
I have been shooting Sigma 35/1.iv with Nikon D600 cameras for more than than 3 years. Mostly portraits. My experience of the AF-issue is the following:
- The biggest upshot is inconsistent AF in a rather long distance shooting. That'due south why wide open total trunk environmental portraits are more than or less a hit-or-miss with this lens. Quite severe front focusing is the typical trouble. Workaround is to focus first in live view, but this is non feasible in every situation. Cannot be fixed with the dock, cause this is kind of random error. If you use it in documentary work stopped downwardly to f/ii.8 you volition most of the time go away with this "feature". This is the issue widely reported in the net.
- Curt altitude focusing with the cardinal AF-point is fine and can be fine tuned.
- Peripheral AF-points exercise non piece of work well with this lens, giving a lot of misses. Focusing and recomposing is a good idea but when depth of field is shallow, this volition give you a new back focusing trouble to bargain with.
- Comparing to native Nikon lenses similar 50/1.8G and 85/ane.8G I would say that focusing in dim/bad lite and in continuous AF are worse.
May sound bad, but otherwise the lens is really very good and second manus lenses are really cheap present. By years it has been likely been my nearly used lens, and then I accept been able to alive with these problems and taken some great pictures with information technology.
Hope this helped!
