In this category the Canon once again knocked out the Nikkor along with its own predecessor; what’s more, it also conquered the Sigma 35 mm f/1.4 DG HSM, a lens so far unbeatable in this class of equipment. The result of the new Canon is so good that the distortion would be difficult to notice even on full frame. Mind you, this lens features a wide angle of view.
