Designed within the rigorous tolerances of a cine lens, the Nikon F-mount Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a wide normal-length lens characterized by a bright design and sophisticated optical layout. The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture helps to achieve shallow depth of field and selective focus effects, and also suits working in difficult lighting conditions. The optical design incorporates a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements, which help to improve sharpness and clarity by controlling both spherical and chromatic aberrations. A Super Multi-Layer Coating is also featured, and helps to minimize flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

I understand that the Sigma 40mm is a very sharp lens. I have a Nikon D700, and I was wondering if the lens is overkill. Will I really notice a difference with 12 MP camera with an AA filter?
You will always see better image quality using a superior lens, but how much better will depend on what your other options are. If the other option is a mediocre or bad lens, you will see a big difference; if the other option is a good lens, you won't see as much of a difference.

Would this lens be a good choice for events and group shooting?
Yes, the Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM would be an excellent lens for shooting events since it is slightly wider than a normal lens.

How long is this lens? Why are two different versions of this lens shown in the photos?
I have both lenses and BH has the images mixed up for this lens. They have a bunch of pictures of the DSLR version of the lens which is 131mm long. The mirrorless version for Sony E and Leica L are 158mm long. They are both the same diameter. Sigma even included the wrong length in the product description card with the Leica L version - perhaps they have not gotten around to printing the different dimensions for the mirrorless versions. This should be fixed because a little over an inch difference in length for the same lens is substantial.

Autofocus using the Viewfinder is ACCURATE & CONSISTENT?
Because many Sigma Art lenses are not good in this situation, even after tweaking with USB-Dock...
Canon lenses are almost perfect and always reliable in terms of AF, but my experience with Sigma gave only about 50% real in-focus pictures WHEN USING the VIEWFINDER (on many cameras, no microadjustment related issue).
If I use LiveView the, of course, the AF is always perfect.
Thanks!
the lenses is built to be reliable and accurate. Sometimes you can get a lens with issues which is exchangeable and/or fixable.
