Pros: Extremely sharp. Very good rendering. Well made.

Cons: none

Opinion: Amazing lens. It is sharp corner to corner even wide open, yet it renders beautifully with very smooth bokeh. Nicely made with all metal construction. The aperture ring is well-done. It works beautifully as a portrait lens or landscape lens. Manual focusing is done by wire, but feels smooth and natural. The focusing ring is well-damped. AF is very quick and accurate.

Pros: Style and construction, sharpness, overall rendering for portraiture.

Cons: Very delicate paint, easily controllable distortion.

Opinion: As soon as I picked it up it took me back 30 years, as a construction it looks like a Sonnar for Hasselblad and the click of the diaphragm seems to come out of a Tag Heuer. To say fantastic is an understatement. For the detractors of polycarbonate, you're in for it! Now feed yourself this all-metal tank that in two years of work will look like it fell from a plane, since just looking at it scratches the paint. Learn to love it, beautifully lived, because you will have no escape. The optical rendering is fantastic even against the light, balanced contrast and this is said by someone who is not a lover of the closed shadows of the old ART, this one has a completely different character, more delicate and harmonious. Excellent sharpness at TA, pleasant blur, progressive, with predominantly circular bokeh, excellent rendering on the complexion. AF stepper ready and accurate for portraits, don't ask for more. The total absence of AC left me speechless, maybe I'm still too traumatized by so many years of 55 zeiss. The focal length is what attracted me from the beginning, since I am a former nikonista widower of the 58G and not very comforted by the 85mm indoors. Among the availabilities for Sony I found in the Sigma 65mm the perfect balance for my type of work, if it had been f1.4 with this quality it would have been the apotheosis. Don't make the mistake of comparing it to a 50, there's no history as a portrait cut. The construction, optical quality and style are excellent despite being "only" a Contemporary and that "made in Japan" in plain sight is almost touching.

Pros: Image quality, construction, diameter same as other I-series lenses, all metal.

Cons: Expensive, compact but heavy, particular focal length.

Opinion: Released before the 50mm f2, this very particular lens (65mm is a strange cut), I often use it for portrait and even more so with the crop of the sensor to get almost 100mm. Like the other optics in the series, the image quality is insane, beautiful blur, cinematic bokeh, faithful colors, impeccable metal construction, magnetic cap. In short, a top lens. Together with the 20mm it is the lens I use the most. It costs money but it's absolutely worth the expense. Rated 9 and 1/2.

Pros: EVERYTHING about optical quality, a little gem

Cons: It's not F1.4, it scratches easily

Opinion: Sharpness and blur are nice and consistent across all distances. It is a flawless, small lens that offers great satisfaction. It may be a cinema lens intended for expensive productions, but it is sold as a photographic lens at an affordable price. Now I would have to write more to get to 350 characters otherwise juza doesn't approve of my comment.

Pros: Optical quality in terms of sharpness and blur. Quality of materials and construction, compactness, diaphragm ring, moderate diameter filter connection, metal hood

Cons: No lock on the diaphragm ring

Opinion: Of this series I bought the focal lengths 24, 35 and 65mm. You can make a generalized evaluation for all three as the performances are superimposable: excellent quality from edge to edge of the frame, absence of chromatic aberrations, flare almost absent (but I did not stress them thoroughly), slight vignetting at full aperture, visible distortion but not exaggerated. These last two features, however, are not even noticeable by enabling the lens profile of the photo editing software used. Even looking at the image just taken on the display of the machine you do not notice, as you will see the jpg, which is already correct. It lacks stabilization, but having it already on the sensor of my camera body, I can shoot in peace even at low times. I think these are perfect optics for the current mirrorless bodies that are small. The whole is always slender, manageable, not very heavy and not at all showy. The focal length 65mm is a bit atypical as a portrait focal length, but I found that wherever I used it, I have never been too long so far. The 85mm instead yes! I was also pleasantly surprised by the creaminess of the blurred. At the same time I own the 85 DG DN Art, and I can say that this little guy replicates very well the essence
