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. |
 | sent on March 18, 2021 Pros: Sharpness, Creamy Bokeh at 1.8 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. |
 | sent on March 15, 2021 Pros: Nitdezza, Bokeh and colors 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. |
 | sent on October 19, 2020 Pros: Art quality, robust Cons: Nobody Opinion: I bought it and immediately it went well, you immediately notice its frightening quality, its brightness, the photos taken with this lens are always beautiful. It was on fire at all distances, only after careful testing did I notice that it was suffering a bit of backfocus but minimally, so I calibrated it using sigma docking at all the focal points and now it's perfect.

 | sent on October 11, 2020 Pros: So exceptional that it pleases even those who usually criticize - with prejudice and often without even owning them - all the other Art Cons: Absolutely nothing Opinion: Great feeling of solidity due to the richness of materials and the excellent assembly, I find our 135 well balanced despite the weight. The optical performance is from another planet, unreachable sharpness (I can well say having at home also the other top, the 105 Art) already at TA, bokeh very but very good (although less than 105), great detachment between the floors, absolutely neutral colors as per art tradition. It's so sensational that I wouldn't know how to explain it to those who don't own it, but after spending a fortune on goals I can say that a lens like this had never happened to me, top ever! I close as always I happen for the Art recommending strongly the calibration on the 4 distances with the Sigma dock, provided that you want to fully enjoy all this abundance... |
  | sent on October 12, 2019 Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, robustness, colors Cons: Nothing Opinion: Best lens I've ever had. Paired with the Canon 5Ds R is just wonderful. It is higher than all expectations, perfect without any calibration. Once it's mounted, you wouldn't want to take it off anymore. Don't miss a shot, the photo comes out practically already post-produced, absurd sharpness already at full opening and blurred by scream |
  | sent on March 08, 2019 Pros: Sharpness, precision and AF speed, colors, blurred Cons: I have not found Opinion: It is one of the rare times where I remain positively impressed by the object I buy even more than my own expectations. Weight and important dimensions, solid working and "nice presence", but the qualities of this optics are especially those that are discovered during the use. An impressive 1.8 sharpness with an incredible fire precision even in situations of contrasts and light very pushed to the limit. The fuzzy and the isolation of the subject are beautiful. I bought it, I did not do any kind of calibration for my 5d Mark IV, no fine adjustments in machines even the one on USB dock I own but that doesn't seem to be necessary. I am delighted. I just hope I have opportunities to use it. I do few portraits and I would not like to keep him sleeping at home. |
 | sent on February 25, 2019 Pros: Frightening sharpness, medium format bokeh (Leggesi after), contained dimensions relative to the focal, price Cons: Flatness of the image if not conveyed with flash, ring as usual extremely fragile Opinion: Optics with frightening sharpness, and incredible bokeh. This is due to the fact that all Sigma ART lenses are designed for medium format (online test video). This allows you to reproduce an almost perfect bokeh across the frame, obviating the problem of light points to "cat's eye" intrinsic in the nature of the lenses (basically being thought for larger formats than the FF, crop the image eliminating the area Device that is the most affected, and therefore seems exempt from this problem). Unfortunately the Microcontrast has not reached, and to use it as it should, you need the help of Flash. Without the images will be flat, with nuances of faces almost non-existent. It can be an excellent tool in the hands of a professional who needs extreme nitidezze for important prints and knows how to exploit similar lenses. In the hands of an "amateur", can only pull out horrendous images, completely flat, with subjects glued on a blurry background. The PDC is very reduced to TA, and the out of focus is around the corner. This complicmakes its use even more, especially on DSLRs where the AF system punches with all the various sigmas. In essence it is a lens that I recommend exclusivations to professionals who use it in a controlled environment, on well-rigged models and being aware of what a similar lens can give. If you want to buy it just because you want the "sharpness", buy a Macro lens: You'll spend less and you'll be happier. In the hands of an "amateur" this Sigma can only make monsters, and the gallery here on Juza should better express the concept. |
 | sent on February 24, 2019 Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, robustness, colors Cons: Really excessive weight, very long, not very versatile Opinion: I got to test it thoroughly thanks to a friend who lends it to me frequently, that say, I have tried so far many lenses from portrait, this really surrenders them all and by far, no mistake a shot, the picture comes out pretty much already post-produced , absurd sharpness already an all-opening and blurred by scream, only problem if you want to make whole figures you have to move away over the 12-15 meters from the subject.. It is really long and therefore not suitable for small spaces, the weight is felt, even if it was known from the purchase, certainly less practical than an 85mm in a professional key/wedding, but once taken with this optics will ruin your life... You no longer want to shoot with other lenses, the 50 mm art remains in the bag.. |
user111807  | sent on January 16, 2019 Pros: Sharpness Construction and price Cons: Nothing Opinion: Maybe it's the sharpest lens I've ever had absent distortion seems like a macro optics. Construction that has nothing to do with the recent Nikon production is a bit heavy but mounted on d810 is well balanced, the autofocus is accurate and fast tested with d500 with battery grip on the sidelines in the basketball is perfect as focal length. I don't think it gets any better in this price range. Rated 10 |
 | sent on September 29, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, impressive resolve, bokeh, AF Prontissimo, value for money Cons: Weight, difficult to handle when the hood is in the resting position mounted upside down Opinion: Really a great lens, amazing portraits, razor-sharp, wonderful bokeh. AF Lightning to bring home good portraits even when the subject moves. The focal is my favorite for the portrait. I also own the Nikon 135 DC: The comparison is overwhelming in favor of the Sigma for sharpness and bokeh.. Only caveat: Since I don't usually photograph Julia Roberts..;-)) ... Sometimes it can be more useful than the Nikon 135 DC to sweeten closeups.... (in layman's terms... Less pimples in the photo) honest price, no need for micro adjustment for my specimen: concluding... Lens to have absolutely... IMHO of course!!! |
 | sent on February 04, 2018 Pros: Sharpness already at 1.8, bokeh and differentiation of floors, colors, construction, focus Cons: The focal length requires distance and therefore is for use in open spaces, except for very first floors Opinion: The best lens I have, a hair better than 50 art, but has a focal length more flexible.rnVery clear already at 1.8 with the 5DSR, with which it pairs very well with perfect focus even at full aperture.rnA f2 and f2.8 the sharpness is at the top even at the edges.rnIn the portraits even full figure the subject is detached from the background with a beautiful effect.rnRobust and not too cumbersome even if pesa.rnA focal length I find the 135 ideal for portraits and coupled with the 5 DSR makes it almost useless the 70-200 IS II, which I use only for gusts on moving subjects that with the zoom I can keep within the frame.rnCon the 135 we must move more than with the 70- 200 II, however, the sharpness and precision of focusing especially at large openings is much greater.rnThis I also noticed with 50 art.rnWith the very bright and well made fixtures of the Art series the focus is also accurate to all opening, perhaps merit of the couple with the focusing sensors of the 5DSR.rnOra for travel portor only 50 and 135 art in addition to the Canon 16-35 f4 L, great for landscapes and streets |
 | sent on November 14, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, Fixes bokeh spectacular and fast af. Cons: Absolutely none ... not even the price. Opinion: Sharpen already from 1.8 if you close to 2 you get your hair ...... write for one hour the advantages of this optic, but I see that you have already listed you. RnThe weight is the right one, well balanced I have to try it again on the D3s, but I think that with a 36 mpx express the best of it. I also took the 85 1.4 always Art ...... as soon as I try it will give you my little opinion.rnBrava Sigma vote 10 |
 | sent on November 14, 2017 Pros: Impressive ever 1.8 ", beautiful bokeh, impeccable construction, fast af, USB dock, tropicalized, value for money Cons: Absolutely unavailable (if we just want to miss the OS) Opinion: Sharp since 1.8, beautiful bokeh, no distortion, aberrations and flare as well. Optically represents perfection. He is heavy but constructively impeccable and tropicalized. It does not come out of the box, the AF is tuned, with the very low depth of field at 1.8 every thing is known, but then becomes silent and immediate precise. With the dock then you can upgrade the firmware and adjust the hiking and hardness of the manual maf ring. Better than the Nikkor 105 1.4 E and the Canon 135 f2 L. It's never far from the machine. Rating 10/10 |
 | sent on November 14, 2017 Pros: Resolve, blurry, constructive quality, autofocus reactivity, size, cost Cons: Weight Opinion: The resolution is excellent already at full opening, with the first signs of diffraction already beyond f4, as is the case with the resolving lenses (on a 42-megapixel sensor in my case). Surgical resolution across the entire opening frame for me is more important in the portrait than in the landscape: the details of a face can easily be removed but not invented out of nowhere, and in the landscape even darker and lighter lenses work fine. In short this is the perfect lens for portraits, in my opinion. Some time after I bought it I had to use it as the only lens on a city trip to learn. The management of autofocus, with so-called fire plans, is difficult for those who like me prefer landscapes, but-as for everything to learn. You need to use the A7RII with the small phase point and move the point with the ring nut as needed (with the new firmware the ring is movable in the joystick, thankfully). Additionally, the camera should focus on the dust of the glassesI have the lashes instead of the iris. Once you've learned how to handle it, however, the results are not to be expected, especially thanks to the precision of the mirrorless autofocus (on Metabones 4, in my case). I was impressed: it is even better than other Art lenses I've tried. Dimensions are not high considering the focal length and brightness. Weight, on the other hand, is felt. An applause in Sigma. |
 | sent on November 14, 2017 Pros: very clear from full opening, solidity from TOP product, fast and precise AF, excellent value for money Cons: nobody Opinion: I've been looking at this for several months and I have to struggle to get it out of the machine. I took it for a close-up or half-bit usage, but it is giving me great satisfaction also in the room where it returns great blurry. between 50 art paired with Canon, I thought I had to calibrate with the dock, but I was lucky because my copy is perfect on yours. On a scale of 1 to 10 you get a deserved 11 ... no doubt the best optics currently in my possession |
 | sent on November 14, 2017 Pros: Of course the opening 1.8 ... Cons: Still front-back focus issues, sharpness and detail less than my expectations Opinion: I had to calibrate it with the dock already in my possession with the 50 ART, coming almost to the limit for the long distances. rnDelused by the fact that both F 2.8 and F4 my 70-200 2.8 IS II is even clearer and more detailed than 135! rnO unlucky for the unusual copy of the Sigma or bad for the fantastic copy of the biancone! All about Canon 1DX II |
 | sent on September 10, 2017 Pros: Sharpness at the top, fast and accurate AF, pro construction, true optics Art Cons: Nothing Opinion: I've been testing this opt for two weeks and I've enjoyed all the optical and constructive qualities, I think it's the best 135 in the market, even the price is not exaggerated if we consider the quality of the product. I used it with the Nikon D750 and I did some beautiful portraits, fast and accurate AF even with moving subjects, perfectly sharp even af ??/ 1.8 with a gorgeous bokeh. Voting 10 |
 | sent on July 24, 2017 Pros: Bright, fast and accurate AF, extraordinary, impeccable, incredible blur, absolute sharpness, colors. Cons: nobody Opinion: Built a few days on my Canon 7D mark II, I can guarantee you extraordinary results. The portrait lens of absolute reference, fast and precise, is so much fun that it does not go away from the body optics. Blurry and gorgeous, beautiful colors. It costs a little more than the canon, but I assure you it's worth it. straconsgliato! |
 | sent on June 19, 2017 Pros: Very precise and very fast - Excellent colors and bokee - Well balanced - Nitido already at f1-8 - No color chromatic aberrations - Tropicalized - Bellissimorn Cons: Nobody but the price, it's all worth it Opinion: Very precise and very fast, clear already at 1.8, I did not have to make any corrections - Great colors and great bokee - well balanced with the D810 - the best construction - Tropicalized, no doubt the best in my possession Last and least important is beautiful to see.

 | sent on June 15, 2017 Pros: Precise and quick autofocus in response, top-of-the-range construction with good weather resistance, very well balanced with machine body and excellent grip, outstanding portrait clarity and fairy-tale blur. Recommended for close-minded but also outdoor lovers. Cons: For me NO. Opinion: One of the first arrivals in Italy, I have noticed precision in the focus and do not need the micro regulation, perfect calibration already made in the factory by Sigma. Impeccable construction and high-level design. Starting with this project, Sigma takes the decision to affect the year of manufacture. The hood is designed very well and is effective in certain situations. Tropicalization is very good. I am also in possession of the famous Canon EF 70-200mm f / 2.8 L IS II USM where there are differences in sharpness and color tone, I find them but each one is suitable for different kinds of photos and I could not compare them. The first impact just to look at it without attaching it to the camera is to say the SPLENDIDO then once attacked and tested the speech changes and you do not have to disarm patience but give it the time it takes to be understood, the end result is very satisfactory and Is in line with what I was looking for a long time, a goal that I can describe with l% 2Camera help what my mind imagined. Recommended and voted with 10. |
 | sent on May 30, 2017 Pros: Fast and silent autofocus, robust and tropicalized (perhaps less than Canon L) elegant construction (but not the Otus), exceptional sharpness (superior to Sigma 85 / 1.4 Art), bokeh plastic in the front and rear planes, excellent distortion control Minimum vignetting, 82-inch filter diameter (not 86mm like 85 Art) Cons: Reading chromatic aberrations (if you find them), held in backlight, the lack of stabilizer for me is not a fault. The price? It depends on the pockets. Opinion: A virtually perfect optic, with a simple embarrassing sharpness from the corners of f / 2.8 af / 5.6 and also holds optimally from f / 2.5 to af / 8. The diameter of the 82mm filters makes it unusual for 86mm filters that fit the 85 Art. Bearing deformation is imperceptible and light falls only af / 1.8, already at f / 2.5 disappears. The blur is quite soft. I briefly compared it with the Sigma 85 Art with a FF and I found that the 85 is softer and more suitable for the incarnate of the portraits, but the 135 is drier and more suited to the narrow landscapes even if it is also born as a focal For portraits. I would have liked to have a collar to better balance it on the tripod because the center of gravity with the 5DMK3 attached is near the SIGMA letter on the barrel. I bought it to replace the Canon EF 70-200 f / 2.8L Is II, as first impressions the 135 seems superior on all fronts, weighs 300gr less and is more; Short of 8 cm. It's a pity that 135 can not duplicate. For me it's worth its price and I voted 10/10 here on juzaphoto. |
 | sent on May 20, 2017 Pros: Defective, building, materials, sharpness Cons: A bit heavy, price Opinion: Purchased one of the first specimens, I must say that it is an Art in all respects! Blur really soft and pleasing, all-open sharpness, frightening, three-dimensional spectacular, I prefer everything in the already great 85mm f1.4 art except for versatility.rn For close-ups and half a bust is phenomenal, but I do not recommend it to anyone Do not like the sharpest picture. The minimum focusing distance is excellent, just 88cm and this allows you to make even closer close-ups without the need to go into post production. I've never had this focus and I have to be happy about the purchase. Maybe the price is a bit higher than the canon and nikon competition but here we really are at high levels. There is no stabilizer ... It is not a deadly sin of course, but if it had been, it would have made the object even more enviable than it is now. Construction, materials and unfortunately also weight, as usual to the top. |
