Pros: spectacular already at f1.4, quality and general yield, sharpness, excellent construction

Cons: lid and paraluce outrageous goal

Opinion: I've been using it on Sony A7RIII in the studio for about 6 months. I think it's the ultimate portrait lens, disarming sharpness already at full aperture, zero flare, zero chromatic trees, spectacular MAF dial. Af on Sony very good thanks also to firmware updates from Sigma! One of those lenses that I would buy with my eyes closed, if I can give advice to Sigma; The next version I would like to conder diaframmi on the lens as the 35mm f1.2 ART

Pros: Spectacular sharpness already at 1.4 - fuzzy fairy tale - autofocus fast and precise - flawless construction.

Cons: But the quality pays off.

Opinion: I took it recently, I made a photo exit and I can only praise this little big gem. I assume that I use it on nikon D810 and already at the maximum opening solves without hesitation its 36 MPs, closing a little becomes a sharp blade. There are maybe specimens with focus problems, especially on Canon that with my ex 6D was not accurate, I for safety, for what it costs, I took the USB Dock station and in addition to updating the firmware I made a small calibration , but he's a sniper in any photo situation he doesn't take a shot. Weight and clutter can be the only downside, for me it is not a problem indeed it is a pleasure to hold this sturdy beast in my hand. I recommend it to portrait lovers, impeccable results.

Pros: Engraved and pleasing bokeh

Cons: Weight

Opinion: I had occasion to try with a colleague all the Sigma Art series for Sony E-mount, we also did a review with AF test and handling of the whole series: Https://youtu.be/Fs8y9I-ah8Q very precise and engraved with a very fuzzy. For the photograph is a great tool, for the video.. Mmm. Shame about the weight, really much. Let's not talk about the body, basically they stretched the barrel to "incorporate" the MC-11 adapter... they could do better.

Pros: Optically perfect if you are looking for the only sharpness and bokeh, use in the studio for good sized prints is your field

Cons: Huge and delicate, images too flat and not very artistic due to the huge amount of lenses

Opinion: The perfect optics for studio use. Unfortunately it is really huge, with yes a very comfortable and precise ring, but unfortunately the dimensions limit enormously the use. Turn with two bodies on which one is present this will be a feat. On the other hand, it's a perfect lens. The MTF graph speaks clearly, the aberrations are almost not there, the astigmatism either. Canon must necessarily update its 85 1.2 L to upset similar optics (always according to terms of comparison "Nitideschi"). Compared unfortunately emerges a crushing victory of the Sigma Art. But honestly, however, I prefer the 85 1.2 L II, especially because of the micro-contrast and the more "magical" and "unique" of the photos. Unfortunately at the level of bare and raw quality this lens outclasses any 85 on the market, except perhaps the Sony 85 GM, which however apart from being Sony exclusive costs virtually twice as much. Strongly recommended for use on Sony. The set will be enormously unbalanced. Sigma has made it really crazy to produce Sigma Art e-mount attachment by simply sticking a extension cylinder on it, and the handiness suffers enormously.

Pros: Extreme sharpness all over the frame already at 1.4, nice coarse MAF bezel, standard lens hood, cosmetic

Cons: Weight and dimensions, filters 86mm, USB dock

Opinion: I had to calibrate Canon's camera support (Canon 5d II) before I could calibrate the lens with the appropriate USB dock (which would cost €50, but fortunately I borrowed it). Initially the AF went for its own business and it was not only a problem of micro-adjustment in the room. In my case it was also a room problem, which however with other 1.4 and 1.8 lenses were never there. After a long drawing between Canon assistance in Bologna and Sigma in Milan, I finally could use this lens to the full. Now the AF is accurate and fast. For now for me it is the definitive on this focal. Vignetting and chromatic aberration at 1.4 are easily read and solvable in PP. of sharpness is impossible to ask for more. The blur is "modern" and "cold". This is neither pros nor cons, it is just so, may like it or not. Maybe too easy to hate for those 10 years ago have spent €2000 for the Canon 1.2 II, who knows!
