I’ll let you know once I’ve shot with them and done an edit. I can’t shoot these things side by side ie, Lumix 35/85 vs Sigma 35/85 because it’s work not a set up test so will have to go on feel & results but shooting essentially the same kinds of scenes week in week out, I have continuity in that regard. I’m not expecting any quantifiable night & day difference, but rather some subtle but worth it to me differences. The Sigma’s are going to be slightly larger and heavier. I don’t mind that and were only talking +200-250g so well short of say using a chonky zoom that would require a battery grip. That should be all good and I actually prefer something with a bit of heft for stability. I’m going to get actual aperture rings. Yay. My biggest criticism of the LUMIX f1.8 primes is their lack of aperture rings. Even the super expensive LEICA SL primes don’t have aperture rings. ALL lenses should have aperture rings on my planet! I’m expecting a fraction slower AF. I can live with that for the way I work and I could happily shoot manual focus 95% of the time so… The lower light capability (approx 2/3rd of a stop) is welcome, but I don’t really need it as f1.8/f2 is actually fine…and the Sigma f2 primes were another option, but the slower f2.8 90mm puts me off a bit for indoor work compared with the f1.4 85mm so I ruled them out on that basis. I actually had a set of them including the 90 a few years back and loved them, but I don’t think they are the right option for me right now. Finally, I think I am going to enjoy the shooting/ownership of metal vs plastic and there is that undefinable ‘I want to shoot with these’ rather than ‘I have to shoot with these’ factor. All in all, considering I am funding this 2 lens update by trading 5 lenses, it’s my ‘upgrade’ to something fractionally more ‘premium’ that makes up for not buying a Leica or a Hasselblad! -
agreed, I don't really know (have never tried) how much there is to gain from 1.4 to 1.2! Will be interesting to hear your thoughts on them! -
35mm f1.4 dg dn II plus the 85mm f1.4 dg dn ‘Used As New’ from MPB…except I also bought the MKI 35mm by mistake and have to send that back for a refund 🤦🏻♂️ They will get a run out this coming weekend at a 2 day job and then on a 3 day job the following weekend and then that’s me done until late next Spring. I did consider the f1.2 35 and the new 85 is due out any day, but bigger, heavier and when would I ever need f1.2 so nah.

They do in some cases… I believe there is a 2 tier structure where some have been gifted and state so and others where it’s a long or short term loan. Hasselblad did announce a loan scheme back in 2025, but I can’t find evidence they went live with it in the EU or UK as I can’t find anything on their website? I might contact their UK people when I am next back…I won’t bother in France as it will involve jumping through too many hoops, if even possible. And that is a very good point and my 3 primary interests in this system are, or were…and might again one day, be: 1. One & done body & lens. No video on the Hassie so it fails in that regard but can do it for stills as long as I don’t crop too hard… 2. Ability to crop hard, but as you say, quality begins to diminish to the equivalent of 35mm FF quite quickly and then akin to that of shooting with APSC not so much further so… 3. Quality of files, especially colour. SOOC, I thought the Hassie files were ‘OK’ at best and I’m not seeing this amazing colour most of the testers are reporting and waaaaaay off how I want my files to be me up and was somewhat surprised that when I slapped my S1Rii developed preset on them, they looked sooooo much better. Or at least how I would like them to look so in other words, zero time saving on workflow. So all factors considered, I’m not seeing any benefit (to me) of shooting one of these things…but that could just be me and it does not stop me really really wanting one!
