Quote:BC, it would be great to name the source of the graphics you posted from lenstip. Not everybody will read this thread from the beginning. I just feel it would be fair to their efforts.The Nikkor 35mm f1.4 is not priced as strangely, actually. It does contain a lot of glass (600 grams, 10 elements), and is only 150-200 euros more expensive than the comparable Sony and Canon lenses in my country. B)
As you pointed out, the pricing of the 58 is a bit odd. I agree. But then, Nikon remains in the same manner like they priced their 35/1.4 even after Sigma introduced their much sharper Art version of this FL.
Not looking at the price, I think I would prefer the Nikkor as as far as I have seen, it renders nicer than the Sigma 35mm.
