The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens just might be the best fast 85mm lens you can buy for Sony cameras (and an excellent option for Panasonic, Lumix, or Leica L-mount cameras). It's got some quirks around vignetting and distortion but I think it holds its own against the competition and its predecessor: the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. Check out my review of the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art, and let me know what you think!

What do you think of lenses trade distortion and vignetting issues for a smaller size?

The most honest review of the sigma 85mm 1.4 dg dn I have seen to date. Others try to minimize the issues of distortion and vignetting. Others don't even mention them. I don't like a deliberately imperfect lens just to make it smaller, I don't think it's a correct strategy. I loved the old gigantic and iconic Sigma 85mm HSM Canon version and I have always considered its size and weight to be a signal of build quality and optical excellence (like Otus). The Sony 85 1.4 GM is not that much bigger than the Sigma and is almost distortion free. It is probably not as sharp as the sigma but it is not a bad lens at all. Nice work Sam

Thanks for the comment Andrea! I totally agree it is quite odd to have deliberate imperfections.

Excessive size is just as much of a “deliberate imperfection” as is distortion. Everything is a trade off.

But the Sony GM have a lot of fringe and chromatic aberration as well as a slower and less accurate autofocus

Amazing video! Many details that you covered are very new to me. What's your view on Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8? Their prices are similar and i just cant decide which one to buy.
@TheOtherSamMallory
@TheOtherSamMallory 2 года назад
You can’t go wrong either way… I haven’t used the Zeiss so can’t provide too much insight but I opted for the extra stop of the Sigma and the extra controls on the lens. The Zeiss is going to be a tiny bit smaller/lighter and has optical image stabilization - big if you’re doing handheld video, probably less so for photography.

@@TheOtherSamMallory Thank you so much for your reply Sam! I think i would go for the extra stop too, but then now i'm stucked with 85 1.4gm with this Sigma 85 1.4.... Struggling to buy my first portrait lens

I know Sony will soon announce their 85mm F/1.4 mk2 but I'm going on holidays soon and I really need a new 85mm, sold my old Sony 85mm 1.8. Should I buy the Sigma or wait for the new Sony? 🤔

@TheOtherSamMallory
@TheOtherSamMallory Год назад
With this lens I keep the in-camera lens compensation on, and if I am shooting RAW I use Lightroom distortion correction… but it may just be the 85mm perspective if you’re used to wider focal lengths!
