Which should you buy?
Architecture, Interiors & Creative Ultra-Wide Work — XF 8mm f/3.5 R WR (2023): The widest prime in the X-mount system — unique 12mm equivalent view in a compact, affordable, weather-sealed package.
Street, Portrait & Low-Light Work On Sony E-Mount — 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (2021): An outstanding 35mm f/1.4 at a price that makes Sony's native equivalent hard to justify — Sigma Art quality for much less.
