Pros: This lens gives very unique images. The model comes out extremely sharp and the background is blurred in the most spectacular butter-smooth manner. I absolutely love the distance it gives me to the model outdoor (I shoot many full body length images). Much easier and nicer to communicate with the model than when I use 135mm lens. It is just a PERFECT lens. It is.

Cons: The finish is a bit too glossy / slippery. I would prefer a bit more texture to hold it comfortably in hand.

Opinion: As a portrait lens, I think this is lens is spectacular. I used this lens on a recent Sony (2023) body and it was absolutely the best ever handling experience. I am now using Fuji apsc bodies - but I will move over to Sony / Sigma as soon as I can afford it. I just hope Sigma will make an updated version of this lens - hopefully with an aperture ring (I prefer using a ring on the lens to the camera's command dial for aperture). I did not find the lens too heavy - many photographers say it is. But I actually like the weight as it was - especially that Sony bodies are quite light.

Pros: Very sharp, fast,superb colours.

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.

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, WONDERFUL bokeh, unique magic

Cons: None

Opinion: It's useless to beat around the bush, it's an uncompromising lens, built in the old way with lots of glass. Weight and size are a consequence. And so is the use, it is not an all-round lens to be driven behind "just for" but intended for targeted releases. So there are no flaws but unique distinguishing features. The list price is also adequate so that is not a defect either. On the contrary, nowadays, they can be found at half price as new, even with residual warranty and therefore the price factor simply does not affect the choice and also allows them to be used sporadically.

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, tripod ring

Cons: Weight, size? for me it is a maybe...

Opinion: Lens that I have always wanted since the days when I owned the Nikon reflex kit, but the exorbitant cost meant that it remained only desire and that's it. Today things have changed, in the sense that I sold all the Nikon equipment: 3 bodies and various lenses, to move to the ML world with Sony. I had the opportunity to buy a used but equivalent specimen to the new one and I didn't miss it. Mounted on the A9, A6700 and A7III, it stands out for its generous dimensions, especially the front, where it houses a series of 105mm diameter lenses. Not to mention the weight: 1.65 kg of glass, aluminum and plastic. These are the "negative" sides of this lens, but it cannot be otherwise. All this disappears as if by magic, as soon as you look at the scene through the viewfinder of the camera. A world never seen before opens up. The imposing light that passes through those glasses until it reaches the sensor is something amazing. As soon as you start shooting and viewing the results, you forget about all that weight. I mainly use it on a monopod, thanks to the ring it is equipped with, so all that remains is to take care of the framing and exposure. The definition already at maximum aperture is crazy, but just close to f2.8 if you want to have greater sharpness even at the edges. It is a lens born for portraiture, but it is not written on any medical prescription, so my use is also intended for other genres that are not necessarily portrait. Positioned on the surface of the grass, focusing at 1.4 on the tiny flower, it immediately makes you understand what it is made of, even if it is not a macro. This lens, combined with the 135mm f/1.8 that I already own, constitute a pair that I will hardly get rid of. I didn't encounter major problems related to chromatic aberration, while some colored rods show up when shooting against the light. For me flare is not a problem, I love creative things, I love effects in my photos, so I keep it.

Pros: The bokeh of this lens is impressive, it is the master bokeh, sharpness already at f1.4 if I close to f1.8 it becomes a blade, AF speed, robustness of the materials and their quality: it is a lens that lasts in short

Cons: Maybe the weight and size? But it's all glass. Ah, difficult to carry it in a backpack, as it is abnormal and difficult to store in one of the latter.

Opinion: It's one of my best lenses, I've had it for two years, I've had it out of order for about 6 months (due to a breakdown at a party, I got liquid from a cocktail and the focus was ruined) and I missed it and not a little, the bokeh and sharpness of this lens are amazing, indeed, to scream! It makes you gasp. One of the dream lenses for a portraitist and die-hard of blur in his portraits, I tried the 85mm a bit but when you try this one I'm sorry the other fixed lenses are toys, a robustness and materials of excellent workmanship, like all the Art series on the other hand, a photographic quality and engraving of details, textures etc. truly stunning, I've been using it for years, almost more than two and it has never disappointed me, it's a magical lens, it gives you fairytale portraits, a poetic blur and creates an incredible texture behind the subject. I think we can't add more about this beast, the cost? It is obviously made of glass and the 1200€ / 1400€ it costs is worth it all. Obviously I used it initially on my 5DMark IV and now on my Canon 1DX Mark II and every tadpole I use really gives me satisfaction.
