I own the 18-35 as well and I can't say enough good things about it.

Can't say enough good things about it

(hint: it begins with C).I really cannot say enough wonderful things about this lens

While the depth of field is very narrow at f/1.4, you can easily stop it down and not have to worry about the out of focus areas getting jagged since the 9 aperture blades keep things smooth.

I can't say enough amazing things about this lens

For people with a strong, steady hand, the weight is not a big deal and can help keep things steady if no stand or steadicam equipment on hand

but, this thing is just Amazing.

I really do love this thing.

Not good, but if you get the hang of where the bokeh works best, it's not a terrible thing.-The lens

I can't say enough good things about this lens.

Sigma has done some amazing things recently for the market

My goodness, this thing is amazing

Still works great with PDAF 79 AF points, so I don’t really miss H-AF much at all on this lens.

it was really really sharp as I

(I also think it's way better than Sigma's non-ART 50, which I found worse than Nikon's 1.4G in terms of its low light autofocus ability as well)

I later tried the Nikon 50mm 1.4G and I was not happy with its performance, I then owned the Nikon 1.8G and although better than the 1.4, I never really fell in love with that one
