![]() ![]() There’s also an 11-blade iris which is rounded to help deliver smooth, circular bokeh. Meanwhile the two aspherical elements reduce distortion and maintain image quality across the image frame. It, plus the SLD and ELD elements, reduces chromatic aberrations. The FLD element is made from glass that has an optical performance close to that of fluorite at a fraction of the cost and weight. Amongst these elements there are two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, an Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) element, an ‘F’ Low Dispersion (FLD) element and two aspherical elements. Heck, I hand hold shoot a 200-400 VR1 f/4 mounted to my Z6 with a FTZ adapter and have no problem balancing it.While the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM Art is constructed from 13 elements in 11 groups, the new Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art has 15 elements arranged in 11 groups. The point is, you can balance any lens/body combination. I never see any comments stating those lenses are somehow unbalanced on a Z6. ![]() The Art lenses are all on the heavy side for their size, but they are all amazing lenses, and work very well adapted to the Nikon mirrorless cameras. Most every lens/body is balanced differently, and lens weight has never really bothered me that much. ![]() The Sigma 35mm/f1.4 Art is my only non-Nikkor F-mount lens. That is probably not a huge deal, but I don't particular like that set up. When you mount that fairly heavy lens on a light body, and you need to further push the lens forward with a hollow FTZ(ii) adapter, you end up with a front-heavy set up. Meanwhile, the Z6 is a fairly small and light for an FX body. Generally speaking Sigma Art lenses are heavy. The Sigma 35mm/f1.4 Art is a very heavy lens for its size, apparently due to the many metal parts inside. I'm not really sure what people mean when they refer to a combination as unbalanced. Sometimes during a 6-8 hour wedding shoot, I start to experience a little back discomfort, but I have no issues at all during a typical 1-2 hour portrait session. Now days, I typically shoot all of my portrait sessions carrying the Z6 body with the Sigma 40/1.4 and the Z9 body with the Sigma 105/1.4, both on shoulder straps. I shoot the following Sigma Art lenses on my Z6 and z9: My only slight concern is the size and weight- is it too heavy or unbalanced to comfortably pair up with a Z6 + FTZ for casual shooting or portraits? Thanks all! Nikon Z6ii + FTZ + Sigma 35mm/f1.4 Art f1.8ĭoes anyone have any experience with this combo? Yes, I know that the Z mount 35mm 1.8 is a good option, but something about the Sigma has drawn me to it. For mirrorless, I would go native mount if possible. In fact, that one Sigma lens is my only non-Nikkor lens I have in either the F mount or the Z mount. The Sigma 35mm/f1.4 Art is a great 35mm lens for SLRs. For long teles, it probably doesn't matter much. It is a major advantage in lens design, especially for wider lenses, when you can place the rear element merely 16mm from the sensor, instead of 46.5mm. Unfortunately I needed to return to my car to get the other lens so that I didn't quite stand in the exact same position, but it should be close enough. Here is an A/B comparison that did about an hour ago. How would you say the IQ compares between the Sigma and the Z? I’m especially curious about how each lens renders out of focus areas. I have all of those components as well as the 35mm S lens. Yes, as all Sigma Art lenses, the 35mm f1.4 is heavy, and when it is further pushed forward by the FTZ, the balance is weird on the Z6. ![]()
