Value for Money

Priced at around £780, this 35mm f/1.4 lens from Sigma appears to offer excellent value for money when compared to equivalent lenses from other camera manufacturers.

Equivalent lenses from Nikon and Canon both offer sealing against moisture on top of what the Sigma lens offers, but they are both more expensive. Canon's 35mm f/1.4L USM costs around £1080 and Nikon's 35mm f/1.4G is even more expensive at around £1300. Sony also offer a 35mm f/1.4 lens, which lack weather sealing and a silent focusing motor, but is still more expensive than the Sigma lens at around £930.
