The merits of this lens are not going to be determined by my conclusions. Over the past three years this lens has received both critical and commercial success, and is, in my opinion, perhaps the most important lens that Sigma has ever made. When the lens first arrived, I took it out and did a side-by-side comparison with my Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II lens. Given that Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II is three times as expensive as the Canon RF 35mm f/1.8, when it came to sharpness, I was shocked at how similar the images looked. Wide open at f/1.8, the RF 35mm f/1.8 is very sharp in the center BTW, this is what LR says about the Canon's build quality: The build quality of the Canon 35mm f/1.4 II is exactly what you’ve come to expect with Canon’s L series lenses. The lens itself feels incredibly robust and durable, with all metal build and a good weight at 26.8 oz, a full 6 ounces heavier than its predecessor. x70caTY.
