I love Sigma lenses and I wanted to get the 85 so bad but it was so big and expensive. I went with Sony 85 1.8 FE which I got pretty cheap, however, I always feel like I'm getting way less that I could with the Sigma. Plus I never miss focus with my Sigma 50 1.4 but with my Sony, I focus on the eyes and it's "hello" chest or neck or whatever.

[@6gwilliams]

Manny thanks love your stuff ,and it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely other half in Las Vegas in February. I have already sold my Sony 85mm f1.4 GM and pre-ordered the Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art. The Sigma just outperforms the nearly five-year old lens design of the GM. If you get a chance can you redo the backlight test using the lens hoods. I personally shoot backlight using the lens hood.

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

@@TorresinhoLFC I think he meant a non-bazooka version for us peace-loving folks. I was considering the Sony FE 85 1.8, over the 85GM, & the Sigma Art 85 1.4. Then they threw this at me, I would've still taken the taken the FE 1.8 just coz its lighter, cheaper, sharp, & I shoot my 1.4s at 1.8 anyway.. but this new Sigma 85 aside from being sharper is actually faster, with better flare control, & has less chromatic aberrations. I'm probably buying this, the only thing I need to settle is if I really want to trade in all those advantages for something that is ~40% heavier (~250g), twice the price, & with buttons/dials I really don't use (..yet). I really hate having to correct chromatic abberations though 😅.

Image quality and sharpness fantastic !! I like everything about this lens!

Not to mention your excellent personality and character goes a long way here! Diana is always amazing and a joy to see too! Y'all are awesome! Stay amazing, both of you!

[@networm64]

Great review! But honestly this is the first comparison of these two lenses which made me a fan of the GM over the Sigma! Nevertheless the reviewer opinion is completely different... I think that flare control means slot and also the bokeh looks way much creamier...and I think that being razor sharp is not a big deal in portraits but I thing Sigma's biggest edge over Sony is it's color. Oh am I the only one which wonders why almost all of your shots were overexposed intentionally?

[@smodjo]

I feel, there is something very special about that 85GM look that none of those other 85 lenses can match. The Sigma comes really close. But superb sharpness open wide is not everything.

Don't buy the Sigma if u want to use it also for video. Rather the 1.8 Sony. Such a good and pretty cheap lens.

[@6gwilliams]

@@Hunselmann I am buying the Sigma and plan to use it on my A7SIII, A7RIV and A9 for video and stills, no problem. Nothing bad about the excellent Sony f1.8, but I like f1.4 and the greater sharpness from this Sigma. Cheers

[@GERFrostGER]

PixMotions thanks for making me aware. I barely shoot any video and if I do I'd probably use my zoom lenses. Portraits are what's most fun for me so I think the Sigma should fit in quite well

[@Hunselmann]

@@6gwilliams So if u can live with focus breathing or film with MF, get it. For me only linear motors which are quiet, accurate and smooth are worth to buy using a Sony with this incredible AF. I mean... What else is the point getting a camera like the A7SIII but not using its full potential?

[@CGphotoOp]

Sony needs to start improving their lenses if they want to continue justifying their price tags cuz Sigma keeps beating them out for a lot less.

[@thomaswright20]

Enjoy your vids,keep them coming. Just moved to Sony full frame, trying to build up a few lenses,recently bought a Tamron 35mm 2.8 prime. Very affordable and sharp. Would like to see you do some videos on more budget lenses like the Tamrons and maybe the Viltrox 85 mm 1.8 mark II for Sony. Thanks!
