Wow! Another top lens from Sigma's Art series. I am very impressed with the quality of this beast. The Sigma 85mm is fast, well built but large and heavy, but it is a FF f1.4. The bokeh is buttery smooth. Great contrast, vibrant colour producing a very sharp image.

Gorgeous lens!

I usually write reviews only when I am angry and not happy , but this is my first time I am writing a review about something I really love! this lens is amazing, I could not believe I could take such amazing sharp pictures. I love it to the maximum, a bit heavy, but it worth every penny .

June 8, 2017 by Andrew Alexander Sigma's line of Art lenses was produced to offer "unparalleled image quality," and it's been our experience to date in other lab reviews that Sigma delivers on this statement.

Sigma has now well established the division of its lenses into Sport, Contemporary and Art. The Art range is aimed at the top end of the market, with lenses created to be masterful examples of the lens makers' art.

The 85mm features a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, working in perfect harmony with its 9 rounded diaphragm blades to produce beautiful bokeh in the out-of-focus areas.

Perhaps no other Sigma Art series lens was more highly anticipated than the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens. And fortunately, Sigma delivered a great product. This is a beautifully designed lens that delivers very impressive, near-best-in-class image quality, at a very reasonable price.

Ever since Zeiss announced their Otus lens lineup, a race of catching up is on by the other vendors. The game started with the 50mm class and it moved on to 85mm lenses. This time we'll have a look at the latest contender here - the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 HSM DG Art.
