Nikon af s 35mm f 1 4g vs sigma 35mm f 1 4 dg hsm art?

Both are 35mm f/1.4 prime lenses for full frame, with autofocus and no stabilisation, so the framing and depth of field match. The difference is mostly mount and price. The Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.4G is a native Nikon F lens, so it suits a Nikon body and works on the Nikon APS-C bodies listed on its page. The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art covers Canon EF, Nikon F, Pentax K, Sony E and L-Mount, and it's common and cheap used.

If you shoot Nikon, I'd lean towards the Sigma for the price, unless you want a native Nikon lens. If you might change systems later, the Sigma is the obvious choice. For a first 35mm, see your first lenses. For people in their surroundings, see the portrait lenses.
