Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Full-Frame Sony E Mount Mirrorless Cameras (Black)

Will compete with G master any day

Best you get for portrait, so good image quality

In short one of the sharpest lenses money can buy, it's even better than the expensive 85mm f1.4 GM from sony itself.

Awesome lens

I Recieved my Lens today , I have been generally checking the lens , everything is working fine. But then I observed a Dust Particle Inside the lens. Trying to Replace the Product. Now it's showing out of stockEven there is no additional packaging to the lens box , and I feel like box is opened from bottom before

Among the best bokeh for a lens in its class which should be important for any portrait and street photographer. The only downside is the autofocus. It doesn't nail focus on the eyes in about 15% of the shots. Otherwise, can be quite sharp.

It is a versatile lens for street, portrait, fashion, wedding,night kinda photography and the sharpness of the lens is beyond my expectations. Even after 100% cropping, the image is still sharp and details are intact. I'm using this lens on Sony A7RIV. There is only one issue of lens distortion, that can be corrected under Abobe Lightroom Lens distortion correction, just one click and it's done.

Pros:Image quality out of this thing is beautiful. Bokeh rendering is stunning. So creamy. This lens is sharp wide open. Looks great.Flaring/ghosting is super well controlled for an 85 1.4 lens. It's definitely a step up from the older sigma art 85 1.4 in just about every way.I love that they are including aperture rings on their newer lens, and they're implementation is really pro.Cons:While lighter than the OG Sigma 85 1.4, this lens is definitely still heavier than the new GM 85 1.4 II. You will notice it.Now the biggest con to this lens, and it is still barely a con for most photographers and videographers, is going to be the AF speed. Don't get it twisted, this lens focus' really well in most situations. It's only when you have fast moving subjects or a subject wearing glasses where you start to see the difference between this lens and modern first party Sony lens'. Based on my experience, I would say this lens actually probably focuses about on par, or maybe a little bit better than the original Sony 85 1.4 GM, but is noticeably slower than the Sony 85 1.4 GM II.If you are shooting portraits, landscapes, still life, or lifestyle then you'll never notice these limitations. But once you start trying to shoot athletics, sports, kids running around, you will start to notice your hit rate drop a bit.In Summary:Technically the Sony 85 1.4 GM II has superior image quality. In reality, you will not notice the difference ever. This lens is very sharp, and actually performs better than the original GM lens that was incredibly popular for years.Unless you are planning to shoot sports with your 85mm... which I've done, but there are better lenses for that specific job even if the new G Master is capable of keeping up... then I can totally recommend this Sigma Art lens.I've included a few sample images I took when this lens first came in.

Lente super excelente, he de decir que no me alcanzo para el de Sony, pero para nada arrepentido de esta compra, excelente lente!!!

Actually, I purchased this lens for the incoming A7CII. I have tested it on my existing A6400 with a focus length of 127.5mm. Even for that, the picture quality is incredible. As always Amazon provides quick delivery and 30 days refunds and exchanges (Most authorized dealers only 15 days or some of them don't allow for a refund and only exchange with a restocking fee in 10 days). I am extremely unsatisfied with those authorized dealers' policies. So far I have purchased three cameras and around 10 lenses from authorized dealers and have never gotten the manufacturer's free service. Hope the luck is still with me. I will persist in Amazon in the future.

Utilisé sur un A7 iii, hormis le fait qu'il est bien sûr limité en termes d'usages, c'est excellent pour ce prix. Beaucoup de plaisir à jouer sur les effets de bokeh. Même à 1.4 c'est assez et exploitable. Rien à redire sur l'ergonomie, il est agréable à manipuler, et la présence de la bague de diaphragme est appréciable (c'est le seul que j'ai qui en soit équipé, et quand on utilise le mode Aperture on ne peut plus s'en passer).Belle qualité de construction.Il est étonnamment compact pour ses caractéristiques. Son format (et poids) convient bien à l'alpha 7.

I've been looking for a prime lens for a while now, since I already have a 24-70 and a 100-400 lens, I wanted something in-between and the 85mm seemed like a good fit to complement the others. So far I am completely blown away by the quality of this, my first time experiencing just how sharp a prime lens is compared to a zoom.I think what I like most about it is that it forces you to think and move to get the shot, having a zoom lens made me really lazy, now I feel like I'm putting in the work to get the shot I want.I can't think of any real negatives, it doesn't have Steady Shot, but it's 85mm so I don't think it needs it.5/5 - This thing is incredible and well worth the money
