Samyang af 35mm f 2 8 fe vs sigma 35mm f 2 dg contemporary?

Both are autofocus 35mm primes for full frame with no stabilisation, so the choice comes down to size versus light.

The Samyang AF 35mm f/2.8 FE is the one I'd carry. It's a pancake under 90 grams, the smallest 35mm for Sony full frame, and it's on my camera most days. It only mounts on Sony E.

The Sigma 35mm f/2 DG Contemporary is about half a stop brighter, which helps in dim rooms and gives a bit more background blur. It also mounts on L-Mount, so it's the better pick if you shoot a Leica SL or a Panasonic S-series body.
