Pros: Blurry, weight, colors, rendering, everything

Cons: Lens hood (but also not)

Opinion: I bought the Sigma 85 DG DN in January 2025, the more I use it, the more I fall in love with this focal length and this lens. Create phenomenal photos from F2 and up (F2.8 or F4 are excellent). It doesn't weigh much, the only flaw is a bit of the lens hood but really also not because it's not super bulky. It also seems to me that it does not solve very well the 61 megapixels of my A7RV at full aperture, towards F1.8 it becomes ok and from F2 it is perfect both as a blur and as a sharpness in my opinion. I really can't help but recommend it.

Pros: AF speed and accuracy, weight and size, sharpness, bokeh

Cons: Distortion (but well corrected automatically), minimum maf distance

Opinion: Perfect lens for portraiture, light and fairly small. Responsive and precise AF, pleasant blur. I combine it with A7IV or A7SIII and it returns great quality images. Also on the video side he proves to be perfect in the maf. I can only recommend it to anyone looking for a quality portrait lens at a good price/performance ratio.

Pros: Blurred, compactness, sharpness.

Cons: Distortion, MF by wire

Opinion: Excellent optics. I use it, via Megadap adapter ETZ21, on Nikon Z6II and now also on Z8. I've also used it on the A7IV. Very good AF, creamy and enveloping blur. Very small size. Very good, almost excellent sharpness (but you have to look at the hairs in the egg. In short, an investment worth making. The only flaw is the distortion (even if correctable); In addition, the manual focus by wire is very annoying. Be that as it may, since I have this lens, alongside the 35mm 1.4, I have abandoned the 24-70 which, however, remains an excellent all-rounder and that I continue to exploit on other occasions.

Pros: sharpness, size, blurred

Cons: cap, hood minimum focusing distance (solvable in cropping, but there is)

Opinion: I have to say really good 85mm. Beautiful yield, beautiful blurred. Sharp already at full aperture, stellar beyond f / 2.The distortion you hear about is not noticeable in real use. When you shoot with this lens, you see, you get a nice wow effect. The cap is painful and the hood huge. Good autofocus.

Pros: is an Art

Cons: cap, huge hood, minimum maf distance

Opinion: I changed my beautiful 85 f1.8 Lumix S taking advantage of a great price for a demo of this 85, the reasons that led me to change are mainly two, the diaphragm ring and the very convenient customizable button on the Art. Of the goodness of the lens I was sure because I already owned Art lenses on Nikon SLRs, so I did not expect anything more nothing less than what I found, sharpness and blurred beautiful, Af in line with the other Panasonic lenses, heavier and bulkier (especially with the huge hood) of the Lumix S, construction quality at the top. It returns beautiful images with faithful colors. Even some uncertainty of the fire often turns into something magical for the partial blurry, too bad for the minimum focusing distance but is balanced by the many pros of this magnificent lens. As for the difference between the lumixS and the Art I confirm my review on the Panasonic, it is a beautiful lens at a hyper competitive cost, probably without the opportunity of the demo and the price I would not have changed it with the Art, for those who make Video I believe that the Lumix S f1.8, for quality, weight and size are an excellent choice also for use on stabilizers. In short, two beautiful lenses of which you will certainly not be disappointed.
