Yeah I'm preordering this as well. It's as I expected. The no nonsense FE lens for those that care most about optical quality and rendering first. I'm ordering an A77II with one of the wide range zooms for my fiancé and she can have the Sigma for a fast lens.I pre ordered it. Now to find the cash. Lol
35mm is my favorite focal body cap lens. Might sell my Mitikon for this
This lens looks stellar so far
Yeah... Then there's the Zeiss 135/1.8 that she can use for distance and speed if needed. It's sort of an anniversary gift before we go on a trip somewhere.Good move. Lol
That's very true. I'm still debating if I want to do the 28+21mm converter or go with the 16-35. I'm leaning towards the zoom to keep the consistent Zeiss look that goes along with the 35/1.4, 55/1.8, and 135/1.8.Yea this lens may just get rid of a few things. Lol
Without having the 35 Distagon RAW available to me I'd say the Sigma 35 Art seems a tad bit sharper but the Zeiss seems to have a bit more character. I'd be happy to have either in the bag but I am going to shift towards the Zeiss (from the Sigma Art 35) for the sheer ability to AF across the whole frame.Guy
How do you think this will measure up to the Sigma 35/1.4 Art?
Not to mention almost half the cost.Without having the 35 Distagon RAW available to me I'd say the Sigma 35 Art seems a tad bit sharper but the Zeiss seems to have a bit more character.

True but add the additional $350 if you don't own a LA-E4. That would then make it $350 difference in price. I think the ability to focus over just about the entire frame and have a consistent look is worth that much for a prospective new owner.Not to mention almost half the cost.
Yeah I've been thinking of going 16-35, 35/1.4, 55, 90, and 70-200. The more I see the 28/2 the more I keep moving towards the "Add to cart" button.My other thinking is have at least 3 killer primes . Canon 24 TSE , this Zeiss , my 85 1.4 and my bonus is the Minolta 200. That's a nice set of primes and fill the bottom end with the 16-50
