5 Stars all around. This is a great lens. I have it paired with my crop sensor Canon Rebel T3i and it's still amazing. This is definitely a heavy lens so prepare to work out at least your grip hand lol but absolutely no complaints. Will probably be the only portrait lens I will need to use.

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.

Very heavy but fantastic lens. I would say worth its weight in gold but its stupidly heavy so probably not!

This lens produces extraordinary images. It is an important addition to the Art Series of lenses from Sigma. While this focal length is considered a portrait lens, this new lens is ideal for isolating individual subjects within a scene with the beautiful bokeh this lens produces.

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.

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.

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 .

Gorgeous lens!

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.

Towards the back end of last year, we were inundated by a flurry of new releases from lens manufacturers. This included Sigma, who presented three full-frame optics for us to get excited about.
