Sigma 105mm f/1.4 vs Sigma 135mm f/1.8 - BOKEH BATTLE 

The first composition with the model on his feet was an Apple and Oranges comparison. In the 135mm shot the model was farther away which heavily impacts the intensity of the bokeh. I wish I saw that first shot with the model’s body having the same size vs frame ratio.

I rented both of them and the 135 up close headshots just melts the background at f1.8. I love the compression of it. But the 105 just puts that magical touch to the background at F1.4 that it’s so hard to describe but when you see it you know your clients are gonna love the shot. So I bought The 105mm and use it on my Z6 almost religiously. I’ve barely use my 85 mm or my 70-200 anymore. In the 105 mm also is a lot easier to use and close quarters or spots with limited space. Great video missed seeing your videos

Derrel I noticed your model was much further away with the 135/1.8 shots at the start, when he was standing, but noticeably smaller in the frame too, and this has given the shallower DOF advantage to the 105/1.4...Ideally you should try to frame your model identically with both lenses if you want to make a fair comparison of each lenses Bokeh quality. In the seconf series, where he was sitting, you made the same mistake with the framing again as there has clearly been framed smaller in the 135mm shot. (look at the extra space above his head).

Sorry, man. I found this interesting but not very useful. The trick effects were distracting and the actual comparison videos were too brief. From my point of view, you get an A for creativity but a D for usefulness for someone who is shopping to buy and looking at both lenses. You got style, man ! But I was looking for data.

No doubt Sigma 105 1.4 is the King Portrait lens. The background and foreground compression is like a middle frame lens. The color also is amazing. The sharpness is incredible @1.4.

The 105 is just more practical. You gotta be so far away with the 135. Great video!

"safety to you too" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 BRRRRUUUUHHHH

Both are great lenses and provide pretty much the same results... Thanks for sharing your work!

I own the 105 and I LOVE IT!! Both are great lenses and u can't go wrong with either one. Its all about preference. Another dope video, bro! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

They both are my favorite focal length to shoot with. I prefer the 135 but the 105 at f/1.4 looks insane. I hope you are planning to post more videos using that lens.

The 135 is great for social distancing but the 105 was supreme. #gloat 🤣

I own the 105 and Sony 135. Definitely thinking about selling my 135 because the 105 has no competitors

Man, that 105 is a BEAST!!!

This is one of your cleanest shoot... keep up the great work bro!

I own both I'm in love with the 135

THAT INTRO IS DOPE. GLAD TO SEE YOU UPLOADING AGAIN! 🐐🐐

5:50. That shot looks unreal. Really nice job.

Вот коэффициенты bokeh рассматриваемых объективов: 105/1.4 ~ 7,32 👆 , 135/1.8 ~ 6,45 👇.

105-115mm is the killer lens in terms of maximum thin DOF possibilities and workability. Sigma really need to make new DG-DN Art lenses with this focal length.

6:42 105 1.4 6:48 135 1.8

Hands down love the compression of the 105.... Nice production !! Liked and Subscribed...

Due to my osteoarthritis and love of compression I lean towards the 135 1.8 (which I own)

My takeaway is they're both beautiful lenses and it's just gonna come down to if you like to shoot a little closer or a little further away.

IF I had to choose, I'd go for the 135mm....it's stealthier for street photography too

First of all thanks for the video and I think you live in the greatest city in the world! I own the 50mm f/1.4 Art, the 85mm f/1.4 Art, and just bought a secondhand 135 f/1.8 Art (actually a brand new one, this guy switched systems, lucky me.) I think I'll be as glad about the 135 as I'm with the other two lenses.

That 105 🔥

if nobody said it , I will. Dope intro bruh. I love both but the 135mm tho.

🐐 Your photos are beautiful man 🙏 Need to get a flash and up my game But for now I’m gonna get me the 105 🤙

New subscriber. New photographer. Got the Sony a7iii but only have a kit lens😒. Any suggestions on which lens I should get first?

You killing that new intro!

I prefer anytime 105 1.4. It is a little brighter and you can manage more easily in narrower spaces. Plus if you use it at 1.8 it is sharper.

Because of the entrance pupil of the 105, both of these lenses will render the exact same level of bokeh out of focus. Neither will render a more shallow depth of field than the other.

I love the 135mm. Just can’t afford one yet, one day though.

Man, i just copped the 105 1.4 to pair with my Canon R5! Great Review and comparison!!!!!

🐐 In doubt between the 135 and 105. Have the 85 1.4 art and a Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2. But barely use the 200 below 150mm.

The 105 doesn't quite give you that compression like the 135. Either way, your friend got some clean shots. I have the canon 135mm f2l and that 105mm at f1.4 is still a couple steps below. The only thing is that pretty much only a photographer can tell.

Yo recién adquiri el 105 1.4 y realmente los expertos tienen razón en llamarlo el money maker , no me han dejado de caer trabajos con el....una inversión que vale la pena .

If you want to get a good 135mm the Minolta 135mm f2.8 will work but you need to get the adapter for it A-Mount to E-Mount. If you want a 135mm f2.8 very cheap there is the Minolta 135mm f2.8 manual focus lens. Also Vivitar has a good 135mm f2.8. Old school Vivitar has a lot of good lens. When the owner died the company went down hill and started making cheap stuff.

Derrel drops a video.. Like! The 105mm is dropping some awesome images dang! Love the content bro keep it up.

I own the Sigma Art 135mm 1.8g and I Love it. Bought it first but I don't think I need both. Still the Sigma 105mm 1.4g is AWESOME!!!!

Hi Derrel, loved your lighting presentation at Imaging USA. Kept it real and simple. Happy to subscribe and check out your other content.

I really like the images out of that 105mm good job

I'm glad you asked Derrel because "BOW-KAH" is indeed the correct pronunciation of Bokeh, as it comes from the Japanese word for blur, which is Bokashi, pronounced "BOW-CASH-EE", which has simply been shortened to Bokeh for non Japanese speaking people ("Bo" sounds like the bow in "long bow" and "keh" sounds like "Car" but with the R cut short). There are a lot of people on youtube who get it wrong and lets face it they sound kind of stupid when they do, so at least you know now and can sound like a pro who know's his stuff 👍 The worst pronunciation of Bokeh I have heard so far was "BOH-KEE"! 🙄

Bro those were crispy!

Not to be a newbie, what is the pouch he is wearing? Liking the look.

Fuck man this guy's too good at those portraits.Didnt even look for the difference.. Just awed at those sick golden hour shine. Nuf said 🤣

👍

Your video editing makes people dizzy. Nice lens comparison though.

The sigma 105 1.4 is a beast; such an optical perfection. I pair it with the sony 135 GM and oh man you can take some incredible shots with them both. I couldn't decide what to keep so I kept both :) Also recently added the sigma 85 1.4 dg dn which has really surprised me just how good it is for it's smaller size. It's only downfall is the distortion but honestly I don't even like using the lightroom lens profile. I feel it does too much correction sometimes and that pincushion distortion can make someone look bit more flattering.

Woahhh,I like the 135mm compression,it seems to bokeh due to my preferences

I got the 135 sigma… mannnnnn…. I can’t explain how better my photography has become

Ordered up the 105! (goat)

Dope shoot bro... keep them coming!

What kinda level 10 production is this 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Intro BRAPS 👏🏽🎬 🎥

105 is mystical!!

"Bow-kuh sounds more gutter!" (goat Emoji). I think it's technically "bow-keh," but people who trip about "what's correct???" are not my kind of people... Love the video and am looking forward to more.

I think I’m leaning toward the 105

Sorry i’m french, what is the best 105 or 135?

I own the Sigma 105 currently. , but I’m in the process of selling mine. I rarely use it. I use my RF85 1.2 more.

Спасибо за видео. Познавательно. Как раз выбираю между 105 и 135.

Very nice shots!

which one is sharper?

🐐 Which lens did you like better after tossing it in the computer?

What about video

How do you pronounce it? Most people say that it is pronounced “bow” (like a bow tie) and “keh” (like the “ke” in Kelvin) with equal emphasis on each syllable. Photo Technique added the “h” to the word “boke” to help readers pronounce it correctly as they understood it. However, are several articles on the Internet from Japanese speakers that say the last syllable should be pronounced like “kay.” 👍

I own the Sigma 105 and I love it. But the Sigma 135 is great as well. All about preferences. Great shoot and video man!

Great bookah battle

🐐

Sigma 135 matters. Oh and so do all lives.

The video is a bit over edited I think. But nice comparison 👍🏻

You pronounced it right as far as I know 😂

overuse of that effect and video too long IMO

Wow🤩

good video though editing effects is a pain in the eye..

I would love to know what your flash power was for the last two shots

105mm f/1.4 best ! ! bat i like to the 135mm f.18 is worth it 2.👌👌👌👌👌👌

105 nice

Intro reminds me of Chamillionaire lol.

Baaahaaaaaaa Safety to you tooo LMAOOOO DEADDDDD

Зачем такие наркоманские эффекты на видео?

I see that touch of grey😉

🐐🐐🐐

It looks the same in just about all shots !!!

Негры есть негры, вы либо танцуйте свои танцы, либо идите к чёрту, заниматься фото не вам, собирайте сахарный тростник

105mm

The 105 mm is the best, the only problem is that it's too heavy

105 is straight money

105mm f1.4 🐐

dope work

First image with graffiti wall are totally on a different subject framing..bad comparison. Fail

I love 135mm.... Any Canon.. sony... 135 just has it.

🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Dope fotos

The 135 :-)

Sony will come with smaller 105 1.4 GM

It’s BOKEH!!!

105mm all the way

I think I like the images from the 135 1.8 lens better 🐐...

nice
