You may get some fringing, but that is easily fixed in post. Any serious shooting with an UWA and you're gonna need to crop, straighten, and color correct anyway, so fixing fringes is easy.

for the 35mm focal length the sigma art 35mm 1.4 blows the zeiss 35mm 1.4 and nikon 35mm 1.4 out of the water, sharper, less distortion, less fringing, less vingnetting and generally accepted that it has excellent bokeh for less money. Autofocus is a plus here as well.

The zeiss OTUS 55 1.4 from reviews seems to be the most uncompromised prime, extreme sharpness, but the zeiss premium is significantly higher here. Nearly 4k.

I already have the 14-24 f2.8 from Nikon and the 70-200 zoom.

Forget the otus I wont be needing that but I am searching for an upgrade...most likely a prime wide angle and a macro.
