Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM A Canon review: A Prime Example of Lens Design
By Ben Boswell - Sunday, December 16, 2012 Lens Review| Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
Discerning photographers have always understood the quality benefit of buying prime lenses over zooms, The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is a great example of why this is worthwhile. This Sigma lens scores higher than any other lens in its focal length, including many that are much more expensive, and is among the highest, for sharpness, of any tested by DxOMark on a Canon body.

Newer Canon camera bodies for measurement?
I'm actually very interested to know why the canon lens tests are still based on 1ds Mk 3 or 5D mark II, both of which are quite old models, while Nikon has already started using D800.
Or is DxO expecting very close performance between 5D mk 3 and these models? Reply | Read all replies for this comment |

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark. Your question is very relevant: we are about to review 90 lenses mounted on the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and the results are amazing... Stay tuned ! The DxOMark team Reply |

The second in our series of selecting the best-quality lenses for your camera concentrates on one of the most highly-anticipated cameras of our time, the successor to the hugely popular EOS 5D Mark II. But by the time it was announced, in early March, it’s probably fair to say Nikon had taken fair amount of interest away by announcing the 36M-Pix D800 and D800E models the month before. Be that as it may, there’s no denying the 22.3 M-Pix EOS 5D Mark III is a remarkably capable camera, and a formidable rival to the Nikon. |
