The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Sigma 35mm f1.4 II and the Sigma 35mm F1.2 II for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 35mm F1.2 II is the longer of the two lenses at 111mm. The Sigma 35mm f1.4 II with a length of 94mm, is 17mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 II also has a larger diameter of 81mm compared to the Sigma 35mm f1.4 II's 73mm diameter.
Below you can find a scaled side-by-side image of Sigma 35mm f1.4 II and Sigma 35mm F1.2 II to get a better idea of how their sizes compare in real life.
Comparison image of the Sigma 35mm f1.4 II and the Sigma 35mm F1.2 II Size and Weight The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Sigma 35mm f1.4 II weighs 530g, which means it is 225g (29%) lighter than the Sigma 35mm F1.2 II which has a weight of 755g.
