Sigma or Nikon
Oct 21, 2017 22:27:31 #
Ok, would like to know if you could choose between the Sigma Art f1.4 or the Nikkor f1.4, which would you choose and why? I know the Nikkon is more pricey. Thanks

Must asking about TC's...
***************************************************
Not if the poster quotes ...f/1.4.......... Tc's do not have adjustable apertures... They have a magnification factor of 1.4x ...or 2x...
So I'm sure he/she is referring to a lens, and not a Tele converter.

I would go for the Sigma Art lenses at the FL you indicated. Why is obvious.

Focal length? Do you need a 1.4? Such a lens will be bigger, heavier, and more expensive than an f/1.8, and will receive just a bit more light. To make a decision, I recommend reading reviews and looking for comparisons, "Sigma f/1.4 vs Nikkor f/1.4.

I get slammed here all the time because I use only Nikon and Zeiss glass on my Nikon's. I used to be a professional wedding photographer for over 35 years, I was also a photo journalist and a Nikon Rep. There is only one camera company that buys, designs, and grinds and polishes their own glass, NIKON. Nikon was first a scientific company, they produced microscopes and other optical equipment, that's how they got into business. Optics is still there major sales point. Glass is the most important thing you put on your camera when it comes to IQ (image quality). As a photojournalist we had a lens bank that we used to borrow lenses. Third party glass lenses were ALWAYS the last glass to go out cause nobody wanted to use them, FOR A GOOD REASON.
And here is the clincher, if the Sigma Art lens cost the SAME as Nikon, which one would you go with? Answer that question and you have the correct answer.

Two points about the only Nikon makes lenses start to finish. Does it really matter and show me that the others do not too.

And it focuses slower, DXO doesn't always mean real world results.

From what I know both are fine optical lenses but I prefer to use Nikon glass with my cameras.
