Originally posted by serothis Has anyone used the Sigma 35mm art and the FA43? The sigma gets great reviews in the lens database. And the pictures posted in the reviews are very good.
I was wondering if anyone had hands on experience with both. Obviously the sigma is bigger, heavier and more expensive but how is the IQ compare to eachother? compressed-for-the-internet images don't always tell the whole story.
To me the 35art photos look flat and yellow! The 43ltd is like Cinderella, it had a weird focal length on crop camera and was unfavoured, but with arrival of the k1 godcamera it is queen of the crop. It has lovely rendering at f1.9 and stopped down to 2.8-5.6 it has an amazing 3d look to the images due to superb sharpness and micro-contrast. Highly corrected lenses like the sigma loose contrast due to the number of elements and poor coatings. By the way i am bias!
