Choosing between Sigma Art 30mm f/1.4 or Sony E 35mm f/1.8

2017-04-28
I like to get your inputs in choosing one over the other between Sigma Art 30mm f/1.4 and Sony E 35mm f/1.8.  I like the faster speed in Sigma but I have A6000 without IBIS and I like the smaller size in the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 and with OSS. I currently don't shoot much video but I see myself wanting to get into casual video and I see the value of OSS in E 35mm f/1.8. What about image quality, is one better than the one? Please comment and share your thought if you have to choose one of the two.

I ended up picking the Sony E 35mm f/1.8 over the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. This is solely based on my wish to keep my A6000 longer as I don't want another camera for now and this prime with OSS is more suited for me when I go for video or single lens out. I know in photos, I may prefer the faster speed and sharpness in the Sigma 30mm f/1.4. If money is not a matter, I will actually get both and sell my Sigma 30mm f/2.8.

I really like my purchase with Sony E 35mm f/1.8 but I have some difficult time in MF with this lens, I need more practice with focus by wire.  Perhaps I should try DMF instead of MF.  This lens works great in video with OSS for me.

All shots were taken with A6000 in a spring break vacation in Las Vegas and nearby national and state parks.  The bokeh is nice and very similar to the E 50mm f/1.8.  I find it extremely good in portrait and travel light as a single lens to use.  If it is in 30mm wider focal length, it will even be more useful.
