B&H Photo has both the Nikon 35/1.8G and Sigma 35/1.4 DG HSM.

The about $599 Nikon 35mm f/1.8G FX seems attractively priced, but is it a competitive price-based hole-filler or a lens one might really desire? To answer that question, I compare it to the 2/3-stop brighter and more attractively built $899 Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art.
