I have now just extremely excited since about 2 weeks this "piece of cake" in my possession and am easy !!! The time advance :-))
With mixed feelings I have pre-ordered at Amazon, the lens and of course me before in all forums
and set the WWW with the test results and opinions differ. Weighed Pros & Cons 50 to 1.2L and in
Mind always the nice word "Sigma lottery" wg. Had fehlfokus and decentralization.
All cast doubts on the whole positive hype overboard and ordered ....
I wanted to have a 50er for street / portrait still below my equipment, because the 24-70 L II Although
very very good and sharp, but just having f 2.8. The 35 L is not necessarily suitable for portraits, it has other
Qualities! In addition, there was still this "have-want-effect" in my mind, I did not get out ....
So ... but now the lens itself, I simplify the whole thing with Pro / Cons:
PRO:
- Rarely seen such a frenzy of field at f 1.4. Fade is only necessary if too much light available
is or depth of field is desired.
- Quality / feel is just perfect, fun "touching" the thing
- Focus sits on the point of my 6D (and at the 6D my wife)
- Price compared to 50 1.2 L
- Very smoothes Bokeh !!!
- 3 years warranty by Sigma
CONTRA:
Many are expecting now, here is weight of the lens ... No, not for me
Topic, I do not even prefer such as the Cam is better balanced, like
with the small 40 pancake (my personal opinion)
What else under Contra .......
Hmmm ... nothing !!!!!
Short still my equipment:
Body 6D, 17-40 L, 24-70 II L, 35 L and 1.4 L and the 135 now just been the Sigma 50 1.4 !!!! to
All in all I can pronounce an absolute buy recommendation and the thumb goes up to date !!!!

I'm still very excited, my current "Always top" at the 6D.
The 24-70 II 2.8 L refers to the time in Fotorucksack ....
Makes still no focus problems on my part be determined, this lens
just plain fun and the oft-mentioned "WOW effect" is given :-))))
