Cons: Knew it was heavy, so I was not surprised; it does take some getting used to though. Hood very large, but essential
Opinion: Overall, I am delighted with the lens; I found that it was better as a two lens kit- Sigma 24-35 F2 Art, and the Sigma 105 F1.4 art, on the Nikon D3- unbeatable combination ! At present I use the subject lens for all subjects, although I think it was primarily intended for studio and people. I have had the odd raised eyebrow, but i have always used my camera and specific lenses for all types of work; Once you have got used to the weight, it becomes second nature.

Opinion:It is a particular goal, the price may seem high but once proven it can be said that it is a low price for such a goal. AF accurate and fast, MF fantastic, always accurate with any diaphragm. It weighs but is well balanced, mounted on a Nikon D4 holds well and rearranges the weight of the machine. On the stand, its natural position, it becomes unbeatable. I have not found any defects but only merits, all those that come to mind, also comes with a bag for transport, well built and objectively, of a second shoulder strap to be hooked to the foot of the stand and a rubber ring from rubber stick on the lens when disassembling the stand... in short, they really thought of everything. RECOMMENDED
Pros:Sharpness, blurry, micro-contrast,colors, AF (FE x sony), CA control exaggerated
Cons:Clutter, blurred hardness away from TA., af with little uncertain light.
Opinion:Taken and returned to base. EXASURED lens, not for weight since we are not girls, but for gargantuan clutter that require special bags and often to leave other glass at home. The collar comes to the aid to handle it compared to the little brothers 135 and 85. Last-generation sigma sharpness (40.35 1.2, 28) that has , not only low and medium frequencies but an exaggerated impact even in high ones. Never tried a sharper lens and in fact at 1.4, on the edges you have more sharpness here than at 2.8 on a normal 70 200 in the center. This sharpness, ideal for those who are especially looking for this in a modern portrait with a model with perfect and blurry iris almost out of the world, collides with the quality of the bokeh: at 1.4 everything disappears even in a messed-up room, but as soon as you close a moment, maybe to have two eyes in focus if you do not have the look in axis, here comes a set of details and contrast from the same blurring that appears heavy and blurred. Af in the FE version that I tried very responsive and almost a safety except that the speed is not high for large optical groups. When you have this glass for your hands, objectively comes to think. is it worth having these clutter for all this macro detail on such a small level of fire? That's why I came back. The sure thing is optical perfection in TA... almost unforgettable and probably, even just to enjoy the click 100% I will miss knowing that anything in focus from my 42 mpx was NITIDA as on a medium format. detail not strained but almost sharp and soft at the same time. Here's my comparison test with the 100 canon. https://giuseppetorre.co.uk/2020/02/28/100mm-comparison-sigma-art-vs-canon/ Absurd Lens, but almost like having a Pagani Huayra and walking in ztl... unless you always have in your hand portrait sessions with VIP , and then it also makes as a business card the clutter and the ability to work with absurd details even in the dark thanks to the 1.4 and the endless possibility of crop on bigmpx. Only big doubt. in marriage and reportage with little light the Af has some hesitation too long to medium-short distances.
Opinion:What to say I don't know where to start this optics excels in everything starting with extreme sharpness already at 1.4 over the whole frame. A construction that the Nikon counterpart dreams of, I compared them when choosing which of the two to buy, as af are equivalent. For portraits it is all too contrasted if it had a close focus would be an excellent macro lens. I also like blurring but here it's a matter of personal taste. I use it on multiple Nikon bodies and no quick and precise focus issues. Finally, the price is more than proportionate to the overall quality of the optics. Rating 10
Pros:If I start to write all the pros we make old....
Cons:Just looking for them, Sigma uses the same horrendous Zeiss caps. But just change them....
Opinion:I had the Nikon 105 f 1.4, I still own the Nikon 85 f 1.4G, and I can only say i am absolutely satisfied. But the 105 Art has really changed my life, since I took it changed the way I photographed, my 850 seems to have earned twenty mpx! How to describe it? Well, you could say she's the mother of all optics, and you wouldn't be exaggerating. Exciting sharpness at TA all over the frame, legend bokeh, heart attack top deadlifts, gorgeous and delicate colors, superpower construction, noble materials (think that the only lampshade is injected carbon thermoplastic). It's big, it's huge, but it's still very elegant. Weigh a bang but you only notice it at the end of the session, while shooting the libidine is at stratospheric levels that you do not feel the weight. A comparison with 105 Nikon? With all due respect to an excellent lens I say that it would be unlikely, art is winning absolutely on everything. What to say, we recommend even to those who do not particularly like portraiture, if you were looking for the absolute lens you found it, and also at a good price! Be careful though, if you have seen it only on the net wait to order it, go and see it and take it in your hand because it is not only big, more! When you need it, you don't even fit in your backpack, but rest assured that you will love it, this is the lens of life. Take it in your hand and enjoy the tactile and visual sensations, savor a few shots and then ask yourself at point-blank range: how much would this lens cost if it had the brand cnon or that nikon? Well, I assure you that you will come to the conclusion that it would not be enough double the meager 1350 euros it costs! By the way, I think you're going to have to buy it new, there's almost nothing in the used, who bought it if you hold it tight. Recommended for everyone, mandatory with megapixels, and as always I add "if you have the patience and expertise to perform the fine calibration of the maf with the appropriate Sigma dock". Otherwise forget it, don't waste time and settle for the Nikons, the Art is not for you. Why do I push myself to say that? I'll explain: several users have the courage to write "maf perfect, mine is not to be calibrated" but then when you go to see many photos on these reviews you realize that these gentlemen are blind, or do not know the meaning of focus , of the two o's. The Art are measuring tools and for their characteristics and their speed the fine calibration of the maf is mandatory, period. Then don't say I didn't warn you.
