As a filmmaker/photographer I shoot most of my projects on my Canon 5D Mark III. While traditionally it is best go for lenses that offer full control (full time manual iris and focus) I personally find it best to search for lenses that can accommodate both cinematography and photography. I need manual focus for shooting video but I also want auto focus for photos.
This lens does it all.
The build quality is fantastic. It's metal body gives a sense of sturdiness that's hard to find in most other lenses. It's enough of a step up from say the Canon 35mm 1.4 L lens (which feels more like plastic) to make you forget that the lens isn't weather sealed. Then again nether is the Canon L lens so it's not really an issue for me.
The auto focus system is quick and silent. It's so quiet that you might even forget that it's on. Also, the switch from AF to MF has a fool little white indicator when it is in Auto.
The picture quality is very beautiful. The colors are lovely and kind of contrasty, the sharpness is great and even the bokeh is buttery smooth. Given that the lens has a nine blade iris this is to be expected.
Image quality remains stunning even all the way open at 1.4 with pretty much no issues like chromatic aberration, ghosting or other such things that come with shooting wide open. And even if they do appear they are easily fixed in post.
Even when shooting video with this lens I was very impressed with the quality that the glass was putting on my sensor. It gives the video a kind of expensive look as if you were shooting with a Zeiss or even a Cooke lens.
I can't recommend this lens enough. Rather you do photos and video as a hobby or as a pro this lens is a must own. And for the price it is most defiantly worth it.

The first addition to the Art category in Sigma’s Global Vision, the 35mm 1.4 DG HSM includes new features based around a unique lens concept and design.

Hesitant Purchase - Gamble
I have had previous Sigma lenses (50 f/1.4, 10-22) that I have used on a Canon 7D. Both lenses were never sharp and seemed to always have questionable focus. The 50mm works great on my old Canon 1D Mkii though, tack sharp every time, which tells me that Sigma has had problems with the Canon focus algorithms. Even with micro focus adjustment my previous experiences made me very leery, especially given that I had rented the Canon 35mm f/1.4 and had great shots and consistently sharp auto focus.When the lens arrived it came with the traditional black sigma padded case, which in my opinion is better and more useful that the Canon L series leather pouch. When the lens was opened I was surprised at the feel of the lens, all metal, heavy and focus was smooth and had a quality feel to it. My older Sigma's felt fine but not the same quality as canon L series.I am now shooting with a Canon 5D Mkiii, so I took this lens out for some shots. I hear some people complain about vignetting when shooting fully open. There is some but nothing that is terrible or any worse than what I experienced with the Canon 35 L. Images were sharp, focus was consistent and shot fully open gave some great bokeh for a 35mm focal length. I will admit that it seemed the focus was a hair slower than the Canon 35L but nothing that was a deal breaker for me.Overall I am very pleased and saving 400 dollars from the Canon version what can I really complain about?
