it's good and sharp

but too wide for me imo

sorry, my bad.

"Too wide for me when doing wedding"

24-70 is adequate for me. 35 1.4 ART most of the time

but then again, i'm in the same case when shooting landscape but too bad i don't do that much also

Anyone got experience using Sigma's Art series on their bodys?

putting aside performance, heard that back focusing issue is still present till now in their lenses.

Interested in getting the 35 1.4 but with that problem, I'm thinking twice now

Bought a lot from that store already

My Nikon D750 (New), Used 70-200, 50 1.4D, SB900

All COD

Pretty happy photographer i am

I would try to avoid Sigma lenses in general because of back focus issues even in their ART series.

Owned the Sigma 17-50 2.8 when I was still using my D90. Yes, for the first roughly 1 year of usage, it does the job well.
After that where problem arises. I used that lens as my main for wedding. Backfocus issues even after sending it back to shop for recalibration.

You can get a used one roughly under 1K

I won't confirm that 100% you will have the issue.

just that it depends on your luck (yes, you've read it right) if you get a good batch. My friend went back to the shop 2 times to get his Sigma 35 1.4 ART lens change for a new one.
Third time was the charm for him. So far, already passed one year of usage, no signs of back focussing.

If you know how to calibrate it, yes. Unless the user is a person that just uses the equipment, not knowing how it works can make things go worst. No point buying a RM300 dock when you just can drive to the shop you bought (or visit Sigma's local distributor) and have it replaced.

Nope, not sure what you mean

I used my batteries until they're blinking and haven't noticed in difference of the shutter sound

If your body is Nikon Malaysia distributed one then you can send it to their service centre for replacement. Not sure on the charges though.
You have to go there and check it out yourself.

case solved

I have my mid zoom now

now my job is easier to shoot

used but it's just like new cause owner converted to canon

RM4.8K

Feel that I don't need the VR feature, if i opt for lower shutter speed, i'll bring out my speedlight... that's just my nature of the job im doing.

Save up, take jobs

it took me quite long to saved up this much for a second lens
