To keep my spending in check, I have pretty serious rule when it comes to gear purchases: Unless it's likely to make a visible difference TO MY CLIENTS, I'm literally not buying it. So I haven't ordered any new lenses in a few years, as I could get sharp and beautiful images with my 24-70mm f/2.8, my 85mm f/1.4 prime, and especially my beloved 70-200mm f/2.8 — the centerpieces of my kit bag. This Sigma 135mm f/1.8 lens's stellar reviews did intrigue me, though, so I ordered it with the idea that if it disappointed, I could send it back for a refund. And that's exactly what happened with my first copy, which lacked center sharpness and seemed to have an unreliable focus mechanism. Rather than request a refund, though, I opted for a different copy, mindful of the fact that Sigma has long been known (a bit shamefully, if you ask me) for sample variation. As luck would have it, the second time was a charm. The new lens is seriously sharp...like nothing I've ever seen. Based on the reviews, I was sort of expecting that, but I wasn't prepared for the gorgeous, rich colors I'm getting with this Sigma. Whatever I shoot looks positively sumptuous on the back of my camera as well as on my calibrated computer screen. I'll still tweak the exposures, but I no longer have to play around with the color sliders in Lightroom. The Sigma just nails it. Foreground/background separation is as good as it gets, and I find that from a distance of 12-14 feet or more, even at f/1.8. I get full-body couple shots and flat-plane group shots that are sharp without my having to put a focus point on someone's eye. For that kind of medium-distance photo, the lens is essentially point-and-shoot. For close portraits, of course it does pay to carefully place the focus point on the subject's pupil; half-assing it and shooting too quickly will probably mean you'll get the eyebrows or eyelashes in focus but not the eyes (yes, this lens easily reveals the difference — and overall shortcomings in shooting technique). Both types of photos, via the Sigma, give me a look I previously couldn't achieve, and the difference should be easily perceivable by discerning clients and photography lovers everywhere. Like my trusty old 70-200, the 135mm Sigma seems to have been slathered in some kind of special sauce. Looking at the photos I take with those lenses makes me excited, even giddy. Money well spent.

I bought this Sigma to replace my Nikon 135 f/2 DC. The 135 f/2 is a superb lens. solid and reliable, but not sharp at f/2. The Sigma is sharp at f/1.8 and I think is one of the sharpest lenses I own. I use the Nikon 200 f/2 and 180 f/2.8, both of which are excellent, but the Sigma 135 f/1.8 is right up there in colour rendition and sharpness. The Sigma bokeh is wonderful, though the Nikon 135 bokeh has a special quality which I prefer slightly more than that of the Sigma, but OOF is such a subjective opinion. To each his/her own. Every now and then, the Sigma 135mm AF will falter, but very occasionally, usually my fault. The sharpness is extraordinary, and the lens is worth the price, just for the sharpness and clarity of image. It probably won't be my travel lens, but who knows ? You can get so attached to a lens that it can be hard to give it up. If the length suits you, this lens is a no-brainer.

I received this lens on 4/22/17 and have had one day out shooting with it. I'm not a professional photographer, but I've been making photographs for decades, and I like to use only excellent cameras and lenses. I do general photography - urban and rural landscapes, and street photography as well. The lens, like the Sigma 35 Art and the Sigma 50 Art lens, is incredibly sharp even wide open at 1.8. IMO the Sigma 135 seems like it is even sharper than the other Sigma Art lenses. And it renders colors better than any lens I've ever used. I'm not into bokeh that is "bubblely", but more interested in a soft transition to the out of focus background, and this lens proved beautiful for that effect. I'm confident that if I wanted to produce bokeh balls that I could. The lens barrel has 3 different focus distances from which to use. There is one focus distance that I did not try yet, and that I've seen on the internet, and appears to take excellent flower photos. The barrel is not as long as my Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II, but it is fat and not a light-weight at 44 ounces. After a couple of solid hours shooting with it, I was wishing that it had optical stabilization. It's a fantastic addition to my relatively small stable of lenses that I will use frequently, and will definitely find a consistent spot in my camera bag. I currently shoot with a Nikon D810 and D750.

I bought this lens through Amazon. It was delivered directly from Japan, and delivery was quick. I shoot on a D610. My original pictures were a bit lackluster but didn't have any focussing problems. I then set the camera to Landscape, from Neutral, and immediately saw the much craved 3D micro-contrast pop. And the images were sharp (as of this writing, DXOMark still hasn't reviewed this lens, so no quantifiable data). Its heavy, but almost most lenses in the mid to large telephoto range are heavier (except the 300mm Fresnel PF and the older 180mm 2.8 - both from Nikon). While I think that this lens is probably the best in class in this telephoto range, I keep going back and forth looking at pictures from this and my Nikon 85mm 1.4, and the latter has this indescribable pop and 'smoothness', yet remaining sharp, that this lens doesn't. I don't know how to quantify it, but the nikon has that organic look, while the Sigma is clinically sharp. Maybe its some 'secret sauce' in the glass manufacturing technique that Nikon doesn't reveal? Other than that, this lens is built well, although the lens cap feels a bit flimsy - not a big deal. I heard rumors about a new nikon 135mm 1.8. I can only imagine how expensive it might be. So, for now, between cost, sharpness in this tele range, this is the probably the best lens out there.

I bought this lens and the autofocus is not functional. Tried it on my nikon z6, z6ii and a D500. I was super excited to have this in my collection but totally disappointed when I received it.
