I know the sig art 35 can be sharp, but unfortunately mine had AF calibration issues...so the 35/2 seems to look sharper to me even though that's probably just down to the fact I can get accurate focus with it. I really wanted the 35/1.4 but found the 35/2 for cheaper and decided that the size and AF speed advantage was more important to me than the extra stop of light. F2 can still get shallow DOF pretty easily if you plan your shot out right. I'm looking into the 50/2 next, followed by the 18/2 and 27/2.8 in the near future.
I looked at the 35/2 as well but it's much newer so there were no used copies around. I got a good deal on the 35/1.4 (€300) and have been extremely happy with it. Now that I've seen what can be done with a lens that's super sharp at f/1.4 I'm addicted to it, both the depth of field and low light possibilities.
I had the old version of the Sigma and AF was unpredictable and it wasn't sharp wide open, the Fuji is completely different.
I look forward to seeing more of your results.
