Sigma 85 1.4 DG DN for L Mount Review: My Favourite Sigma Prime Lens 

Another great real world user review! Don't know why I get excited everytime Bobby reviews a new lens or camera.

Thanks a lot Bobby, I was waiting for a review of this lens for L-moint from you. Grait video

It was a very good report！Bobby. I'm looking forward to it every time！

These reviews are really good!!

I was considering this but I went with the 35mm 1.2 instead for now and the image quality on that is astounding as well. Sigma is crushing it more than ever lately

Greatly informative review 👍 ✨ Please tell me what is the deference between this lense and the same exactly 85mm 1.4 DG but with no DN is written on the lens *This one is (DG DN) the other one is only (DG) no DN and both are the same size exactly* I find a used and clean one for a good price and I want to use it with my Nikon Z6 ii with Viltrox EF-Z2 lens adapter

This video is the future me with the 85mm + Sigma fp. Thanks for pairing them in this review, Bobby.

Glad I found this channel. Your vids have become my personal shopper. No longer have to look at 100 videos to get what a piece of gear is about. Picked this up from TK for the SL2 a few days ago. Close focus sucks in terms of both distance and sharpness but the lens in a home run in every other way. No-one is using an 85 for macro anyway. Good thing I saw this vid before I went for the 90 APO. Now I get to keep the kidney and have a great portrait lens for L-mount.

Excellent! Well done and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thanx for the Review. I bought it today 💪🏼

Bobby, Greetings and Salutations from Okinawa. Quick question. Obviously your opinion. Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art OR the Sigma 105mm f1.4 Art lenses for the Leica SL2-S. If portraits were your driving and singular passion - and - you could only EVER own one between these two. Which one would you choose? I respect your opinion enough to solicit your thoughts. Be Blessed, Doc Chaps PS My absolute favorite portrait lens on an M or the SL2-S is the Noct 75mm f1.25 but I’m looking for an autofocus alternative for my more fidgety subjects . Be Blessed ,

Hey Booby, nice video. Your content is quality as always!

Thanks for the review. Can you program the focus pull on the lens when you put it on the S1R, like you can native panasonic lenses?

Got one for my FP! Although I mostly use Leica, zeiss, and Voigtlander M and G glass on it. Really appreciated seeing this lens in action on the FP. Looking at that killer 35/1.2, too, to potentially replace my Voigtlander v3 1.2

I just got this Sony version of 85mm F1.4 DG DN, it has great image quality as others art lenses I have 24 mm, 40 mm and 105 mm. It is a great portrait lens without the 1 kg extra weight and bulk of 105mm F1.4. It is more likely the lens that I can put in my camera bag, it is smaller and weighing less than both 24mm and 40 mm .

Is this lense suitable for sony a6400?????

Awesome vid! Hope you review the Sony version and test it for burst shots of moving subject,or maybe compare it with sony 85mm f1.8.want to buy this lens but wondering about the keepers rate.i really wish sony refresh their 1.4 GM with the latest motor..

You are so exited...i love it....Thanks for video!

I was thinking of getting this for video but I heard that it doesnt focus on movement very well . Is it true?

What camera does he use ?

Good day ! The new lumix S 85mm 1.8 just came out. Please do the review & comparisons between these 2 85m! Thank you very much ♥️

Finally, I bought this lens for my SL2. Thanks for review!

great video, great lens. we love Lumix l mount!

Hello, from ur experience, I wanted to ask u about bokeh comparison in sigma 85mm f1.4 lens on both apsc and full frame, which camera will result in more bokeh? I know that full frame is better in bokeh but considering the compression we get from the crop factor on apsc in the 85mm distance will that result in more bokeh than using it in full frame body?

Do you think this is a bit overkill if you already have the Panasonic S Pro 1.4

Smaller and finally weather sealed. Hope it comes to Z soon. Thanks for your thoughts and your thoughts only, they are the reason why watch your reviews. Keep safe.

Great f#%$#% video man. Well done. BTW, what camera and lense did you use for the talking head, and what settings? If you be so kind.....I know, I always ask for a lot. Thx

I have the SL2 w the 50 and 35 sl lenses. Somehow I like the image quality of my sigma 85mm 1.4 better.

Hi Bobby Nice to find this review How would you rate it against the Leica 90 APO ? An honest answer is requiered 😊

Awesome to see Keanu Reeves reviewing cameras and lenses :) Super sharp lens! Do you think it's useful enough for manual focusing with video on the S line Lumix bodies?

L mount is best. we love Panasonic, we love quality. this lens is awesome. great video. !

@7:36, is this the olympus feathered bokeh? ;-)

Great review... however we need you to lead a fight off... Panasonic 85 f1.8 vs the DN 85 f1.4

What camera did you use .... Small compact

Looks like a great lens. If I had a L mount camera , I would be all over it.

So Bobby... Should I get this lens? LOL! Just kidding. Your enthusiasm for the lens is undeniable. I'm incredibly happy with my m43 Lumix G9 and Leica Nocticron combination for my fashion and just about anything involving a person. But for higher-end work where mostly I, can see the difference and mostly in the studio, I want the S1R. But for a while, the Leica 90 f/2 was the only thing I considered for my fashion work. I saw another fashion photographer use the Canon version of this Sigma lens adapted to the S1R (pre-Sigma L-mount version) and the results were nothing short of stunning. I have an eye for Medium Format images and I would say that a Nikon with an Otus would get you to about 95%'sh to MF quality and look. The S1R w/Sigma is maybe, 98% of MF. I've seen images from an Otus mated to an S1R and I thought they were pretty darn good. Maybe better. It was hard to judge. But the Otus, even on sale, is 3x the price of the Sigma. Is the price difference worth that tiny preference? For $1199 US, the Sigma is a bargain and you're right, only the Leica 90mm f/2 is its competitor. And if the build quality holds-up, a lens you can easily be happy with for the next 10 years of professional use. Easily. Keep up the good work and thanks for the great review!

Nice video! However it should be mentioned that this lens has a lot of distortion which may or may not become visible on L-mount. Also worth noting is imho that the bokeh circles are cat's eyes shaped in he corner of the image.

This lens is priority one! It doesn't look like it would overpower a TL2 either.

I just got this for my a7iii. Can you say creamy bokeh!

ELLLLLL MOOOUNT ALLLIANCE!!!!!!

JPG is very vignet

It hurts to see you carrying your FP in the rain without at least a wrist strap on!

Firssttt

Why did you hide the terrible distortion issue of this lens 😂😂😂 ?

I must stop watching you as every time you cost me big time. Ordered it.

Very sharp but very flat, lifeless, sorry but I have to say that nothing is free in this life, Microcontrast and 3d is something that sigma does not know, there you need real glass and not polymers or organic glass. Check that Sigma against the Old Zeiss plannar 85 1.4 Nice reviews and channel !!!!!!
