I hope Sirui can expand the Aurora f/1.4 series by maintaining the 67mm filter size, rendering, design, and price.

I am a happy owner of the Sigma 85 but frankly, I very often find myself lowering contrast and adding haze in post because its resolving power just isn't all that flattering :'D Were I in the market for the first time, I feel the Sirui would suit my needs slightly better. Your comparisons and insights are, as usual, much appreciated - it's great that we as photographers get so many viable choices these days (and hopefully a 85mm f1.2 will be one of those in 2025)

I'm hoping that Viltrox brings out a LAB 85mm F1.2 this year. I do feel like a lens like that is still needed on Sony.

I was pursuing the sharpest lens possible in the past, only to punish myself retouching the flaws in post. Nowadays when I shoot portraits I shoot film, or use poor quality lenses like the Nikon 35-70mm f/2.8 and 80-200mm f/2.8.

Good review as always Dustin. I am definitely looking forward to the Viltrox 85mm f1.2 LAB as well. If price and performance are as competitive as the 135mm LAB, Viltrox might be the new go-to for prime lenses for me.

I noticed in all the side by side comparisons after the chart test, the FOV of the Sirui is definitely wider than the Sigma, by about 4-5mm (guessing). If the comparison was made at identical FOV, the Sirui would likely show a slight advantage over the Sigma in the quality of background blur.
@frankfeng2701
@frankfeng2701 16 күн бұрын
That is correct. Sigma is the one tighter than 85mm.
@DustinAbbottTWI

Not by 4-5mm, but certainly by 2mm. The Sigma is known to be a bit long.

Portrait-wise, I'm not actually looking at the sharpest one, but the one that has better Bokeh, while still giving a "sharp enough, but smooth look" to the Subject, while getting great control over Chromatic Aberration. That makes the value of the Sirui as a Portrait Lens even higher for many people.

It does look like it will probably be Viltrox first, though I could definitely see Sigma doing an 85mm F1.2 instead of a MK 2 of this lens.

Sigma 85mm 1.4 DN looks beautiful; it is large and has a cool inverted folding diaphragm and looks quite seamless between the lens and the camera (other than not resonating with "Art series' shiny mount neck". The issue with sigma prime lenses is their horrible transmission and distortions resulting in strong vignetting and barreling.
@DustinAbbottTWI
@DustinAbbottTWI 12 күн бұрын
This definitely has some strong pincushion distortion.

I wish Sigma would make a new 85 f1.4. hasn't it been around five years since this one came out. I would also like to see a new 135 Art that is smaller and lighter. and i think it would be cool if a company put out a 35 to 85 f1.8 portrait zoom.
@DustinAbbottTWI
@DustinAbbottTWI 12 күн бұрын
I wouldn't be surprised if Sigma actually tackles an 85mm F1.2 rather than just a MK II of this lens, as there isn't any critical flaw with this one other than having too much distortion.

I have a problem with an 85mm f1.4 that isn't sharp at f1.4. Seems like it's failing at the main task. If it doesn't sharpen up until f2 or 2.8, just get the Sony 85mm f1.8, which is as cheap, lighter and better or just get the Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 G2 zoom.
