Opinion:Excellent optics. I use it, via Megadap adapter ETZ21, on Nikon Z6II and now also on Z8. I've also used it on the A7IV. Very good AF, creamy and enveloping blur. Very small size. Very good, almost excellent sharpness (but you have to look at the hairs in the egg. In short, an investment worth making. The only flaw is the distortion (even if correctable); In addition, the manual focus by wire is very annoying. Be that as it may, since I have this lens, alongside the 35mm 1.4, I have abandoned the 24-70 which, however, remains an excellent all-rounder and that I continue to exploit on other occasions.
Cons:cap, hood minimum focusing distance (solvable in cropping, but there is)
Opinion:I have to say really good 85mm. Beautiful yield, beautiful blurred. Sharp already at full aperture, stellar beyond f / 2.The distortion you hear about is not noticeable in real use. When you shoot with this lens, you see, you get a nice wow effect. The cap is painful and the hood huge. Good autofocus.
Opinion:I changed my beautiful 85 f1.8 Lumix S taking advantage of a great price for a demo of this 85, the reasons that led me to change are mainly two, the diaphragm ring and the very convenient customizable button on the Art. Of the goodness of the lens I was sure because I already owned Art lenses on Nikon SLRs, so I did not expect anything more nothing less than what I found, sharpness and blurred beautiful, Af in line with the other Panasonic lenses, heavier and bulkier (especially with the huge hood) of the Lumix S, construction quality at the top. It returns beautiful images with faithful colors. Even some uncertainty of the fire often turns into something magical for the partial blurry, too bad for the minimum focusing distance but is balanced by the many pros of this magnificent lens. As for the difference between the lumixS and the Art I confirm my review on the Panasonic, it is a beautiful lens at a hyper competitive cost, probably without the opportunity of the demo and the price I would not have changed it with the Art, for those who make Video I believe that the Lumix S f1.8, for quality, weight and size are an excellent choice also for use on stabilizers. In short, two beautiful lenses of which you will certainly not be disappointed.
Opinion:A Sigma DN 85mm f1.4 Art slim that pairs well with Sony ML. The construction and quality of the materials is impeccable, very practical the diaphragms ring that can be used in jerks or continuously, for a faster setting of the opening, instead of acting on the machine. I had the Sony FE 85mm f1.8 that I never liked because in my opinion without character, rather bland and for the portrait I preferred until now the Sigma DG DN 24-70 f2.8 Art. I had tried in the store the Batis 85mm f1.8, but the attachment of the eye AF on the 7rIII was quite difficult so I had given up the gearbox. This Sigma on the contrary has a fast AF, sharpness and excellent resolution already at f1.4, a soft bokeh with perfectly circular light points. In short, a highly recommended lens without flaws that does not regret the purchase. The only small drawback is the minimum distance of maf, about 75cm, which does not make it usable for close-up, too bad, because the blurred is really nice. I do not feel any particular problems with the lens cap.
Opinion:This is the 85mm (in my opinion) to buy. In the past I had the f/1.8 Sony (sold because dull, washed out) and the f/1.4 Samyang (sold due to colors tending to yellow). The Samyang remains at the top in quality / price, thanks to its low cost. The Sigma, however, surpasses it in all respects with the exception of the weight which is 60 gr higher and a little more unbalanced forward, so it makes itself felt more than the additional weight can suggest. This Art is amazing as sharpness already at f/1.4. The colors are faithful and beautiful, as well as the blurred is exceptionally soft. The materials are excellent, although you still prefer GMs. The diaphragms ring is very comfortable. Downsides: the hood is too wide and the cap could have been better, given the cost anyway. Negligible defects, all in all.
