Opinion: Best 135 lens ever.the complete Sigma Art series is at the highest level without any optical defects the only complaint can be considered the size or size and weight of the lenses themselves. my only complaint in terms of optical quality maybe a little bigger vignette than usual everything else is top notch of course except weight and size.
you can give a small child to take pictures with him, each picture will look like a work of art
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharpness at maximum aperture and incredible blurry!
Cons:Unfortunately my model suffered from a slight front/back focus, but after a recalibration with a special base it became perfect.
Opinion:I've been shooting for twenty years now, I started with Nikon and shortly after I switched to Canon, I tried hundreds of lenses and in all these years I have always wondered: Why buy a lens with an aperture of 1.2 / 1.4 / 1.8 if at that aperture they usually do not have a good sharpness ? The blurred is very important on these optics and in my opinion it must be "creamy", but if the subject is not clear what sense does it have ?!? Here, with the 135mm 1.8 Sigma you have a beautiful blur and an incredible sharpness, who says it is not sharp maybe has a vision problem :-) or front / back focus, also because reading online I discovered that many have encountered this problem on this lens, but once properly calibrated is an impressive lens, I have never used a lens that at maximum aperture was so sharp and I challenge you to find another that is as sharp as this, however, even closing the aperture the sharpness remains Excellent! Expensive product, heavy, but unique in its kind, in my opinion it is the best optics I have ever used.
Opinion:Amazing optics for the portrait, the bokeh is creamy a ta, af more than good, recommended for specific use in case you look for the best solution for portraiture set. It also makes good on dense sensors like A7RIII. The weight and size are considerable, but given the specific use I do not consider them a serious cons. I mount it for all situations where I have time to compose calmly.
Cons:Extremely specific, blurry of questionable quality closing the diaphragm even a little, being a 135 is not very versatile as standard use
Opinion:I got to try this lens for a shoot, with a view to buying it later, at the time of the test it averaged 10 on Juza, maybe I expected too much. In my opinion, it is a somewhat overrated lens. it is certainly excellent when used at 1.8, nitidia and the blurry "fantasy" and very creamy, but it is unfortunately a lens that must be used only in this way, closing the diaphragm creates edgy light points and in my opinion loses a lot as quality of the blurry. It is certainly not a versatile lens both for this speech and for the distance necessary to make a full-length portrait, where necessary. it is certainly an excellent lens for outdoor portraits, in the studio I think it makes no sense if in possession of other shorter portrait lenses. Another thing not really top, the bokeh is not circumcised all over the frame, as generally adheres to art, but at the edges tends very markedly to the elliptical. So I recommend it to those who maybe already have a significant lens park and therefore want the specific lens for certain outdoor shots, but as a standard portrait use I would say that it is definitely not a very interesting lens. As a weight I did not find myself badly, abject to often use the 24-70 art, I did not notice a particularly appreciable difference in use. I currently have the 50, 24-70 and 105 macros of the art series, as terms of comparison, and shooting with A7III.
Cons:More than the weight is bulky with a lampshed.
Opinion:SHARPNESS (which if you want to find the time you find) I had 3 copies of 50mm art and only one was exceptional after being calibrated. Of 135 I only have one copy and I have no way of comparing it but I am sure it is sharper than the best copy of the 50 I had. Perhaps, indeed let's take away the maybe, in many cases it is too sharp for portraiture, you certainly do not have to find the right light to make the details stand out. COLORS AND BOKEH: I find that the colors and the bokeh are at another level compared to 50 art. CONS (explanation): I find the front lens large and quite exposed. Without a light, the risk of scratching it exists.
