  • incredible even at f/1.4 - highly recommended.
Style: Canon
Just so you know - for what it is worth I am a former professional photographer (retired) with a degree in photography from RISD. This is an honest unsolicited review. I had been eyeing this lens for a while and debating spending that much money. I am sick of the slow zooms and their lack of sharpness. As it was tax free weekend I wanted to take advantage of it and the night before I bookmarked the lens as it was under $1000. The next day I got up to order and the price had gone up by exactly 0.06125%, which is exactly the tax rate in MA. Go figure. Back to the lens. I have only been using the lens for a day but this lens strikes me as amazingly sharp, even wide open at F/1.4, albeit with the extremely shallow depth of field. Being a prime lens I would expect it to be sharper, but I was surprised at just how sharp. I think attached photos 1 and 2 demonstrate this sharpness. The lens was mounted on a Canon 80D. While not a great photo, I took it since the dew in the grass gave interesting detail for testing. This was taken handheld and used the camera's autofocus. I was pointing down, right at the edge of the minimum focus distance. The file from the camera was RAW but in editing no processing was done other than a bit of exposure and white balance compensation. There was no sharpening or other filters used. The first image is full frame with a red box drawn to show the enlarged section taken for the second image. I was blown away by the detail of the tiny droplets, including the images within the tiny drops. I hope this comes thru on the images uploaded to amazon after their processing. The final photo is of our rabbits. They are sooo cute, and I wanted them to get some publicity. Again, taken at F/1.4, this lens allowed me to take this interior shot in low light. About the lens overall. It is a bit bulky and heavy which for me makes it difficult to shoot using live view unless mounted on a tripod. Except for still lifes and portraits, I will likely e using the viewfinder and bracing the camera and lens against my body, as I have always done with my 35mm film cameras. (Yes, some of us still like and use film!). The autofocus in this version appears very quick and responsive, and so far I have not seen it hunt. Again, remember I have only used it for a day. Focusing is very smooth with no backlash. I also like that with autofocus OFF the focus blocks in the viewfinder still blink on and off as you manually focus , which is a great feature, One slight drawback is that there is no close focus. I found myself backing off from objects to allow for minimum focus distance. I might pull out my lens charts and do a real test, and if I do and find anything of note I will update this review. Finally, If you decide to get this lens I would suggest buying an 89mm UV filter for protection, as there is a lot of glass in the front of this lens that you want to keep clean and free of scratches. ... show more

  • Creamy, sharp, and worth it.
Style: Canon
This is the most creamy lens I own. It's extremely sharp, and is one of my favourite portrait lens. People say the cons is it being a prime lens and not giving a lot of diversity in your shots. This can be a lot of work for a wedding shoot but the pictures are outstanding. That being said I'd use this lens for portraits 10/10. The budget is worth it, and shoots better than a lot of my canon lens. Comparable to my L lens in my opinion. ... show more

  • A nearly perfect lens with tremendous potential and application
Style: Canon
I purchased this lens about 3-4 months ago and have done extensive work with it since. I have been a huge fan of Sigma and the Art series lives up to the hype. The image quality, sharpness, bokeh, color, and auto-focus is stunning. It is heavy and large, but well balanced and comfortable. I am used to hand holding much larger lenses, so I was not bothered at all by the size and girth of the lens. The low light performance is very impressive with minimal hunting and seeking. The barrel distortion is nearly non-existent. There are issues with blue CA in some images, especially in brighter scenes using max aperture, but it does go away if you stop down. This has only been an issue with some product photography, specifically with bright metallic objects with edges (Silver coins and jewelry). The lack of OS is disappointing at times, but rarely becomes an issue since I use a tripod for most portraiture. Some may find the weight a challenge, especially with a mirror-less camera. However, the balance is great with the 80D with vertical grip or comparable setup. I strongly recommend this lens for serious portrait and wedding photographers. It has some great uses in the field for landscape photography and is very limited for product photography due to its minimal focus distance. Considering it is 1/2 the price of the Canon f/.4 USM IS lens with higher resolving power and sharpness, it may well be worth not having OS. If you absolutely need OS because you are doing a lot of low light work, go with the Canon, otherwise, the Sigma is a near perfect lens. Check out Dxomark for its scores. ... show more

  • Buy the lens!
Style: Canon
I am NOT a professional! I am a hobbiest who is learning and I've heard great things about the 85mm! Read reviews. Checked out MANY different options and I decided to go with the Sigma since it seemed to be the best lens for quality and price! I do not regret it! These were just some practice photos I took, the day I recieved it, just to get the feel for it. I can not believe how amazing these photos are. The colors are vibrant, the bokeh is great, the photos are very sharp, and the focus is on point! I am very excited to try this lense on some actual clients and not just animals and objects around the farm. If you are new to photography and are truly wanting to push more for a career, I would say this lense is a GREAT start for you. My photography friends use it as well and absolutely love it, which is why this lense was recommended to me. And now I am recommending it to anyone who sees this. You will not be sorry for the money you spent. ... show more

  • SIGMA 85mm is legend(wait for it......)DARY!
Style: Canon
Man-o-man, love this 85mm lens. The auto focus is quick and quiet, the image quality is crisp and the bokeh (background blur effect) is soft and even across every shot. I use this lens primarily for portraits and product photography and its killer. Build quality is super well done and durable just like any SIGMA lens. This lens actually feels a good bit lighter than my 24-70mm which was a surprise. Maybe I’m wrong but I noticed a difference. At f/1.4 this thing really performs flawlessly in low light. I’m very happy with this purchase (long over due) In my opinion the 85mm out performed the SIGMA 50mm which I previously bought and returned. I just feel that the 85mm produced stronger RAW images as far as photo clarity and warmth. The RAW shots already looked pre edited they were so clean. Just makes the editing process so much quicker when you can get such good shots right off the bat. I dig it!

  • Its Really Heavy But Works Great
Style: Canon
As far its use. Its definitely a sharp lense and excellent in low lighting. A fantastic lense. However, im an event photographer, so carrying my camera in hand is second nature. This lense my my camera VERY HEAVY-without a flash. so heavy that puts pressure on my thumb with extended use. I suppose if I was always was using a tripod it wouldn't be a bother. It thats your thing go for it. Compared to my 85 mm1.4 for my Sony this is much bulkier and heavier. I got this one because of the price difference with the Canon model, but because I plan on using this more frequently for events like weddings, im not sure this was the best choice. ... show more

  • You could accidentally kill someone with this thing and get away with it!
Style: Canon
This is my first “big girl lens”. I’m a newish photographer needing a quality lens for my new business. The first thing that stuck out was how big and heavy this lens is! You could seriously whack someone in the head on accident and it could kill them. But as soon as the judge sees the murder weapon, INNOCENT. All jokes aside, I really like this lens…just from the few sample photos I took of my dog and of other random things like my shoe, the photo quality is stunning. Edges are nice and well defined, bokeh is beautiful. My only complaint would be the lack of image stabilization for a lens of this price point. With the lens being so heavy, if you don’t use a tripod you’re gonna get the shakes which equals blur. I am using it with my Canon EOS Rebel T7 DSLR and so far, so good. Once I get some actual photos worth posting in a review, I’ll come back and update….but this lens is quality. UPDATE : DO IT! Buy this lens! The images it is giving me, WOW is all I can say. I tested it out while two horses I know were running around and playing and this images are incredible. ... show more

  • replaced my 85L
Style: Canon
I'm a long time 85L user, and was hesitant to lose the quarter stop of light and incredible bokeh. However, the 85L shortcomings were becoming more of a problem for me. The chromatic aberration is really bad wide open, and the focusing speed is lacking. I am a portrait photographer, and with young kids (who can't sit still) the 85L sat in my bag while I used the trusty 70-200 f2.8L. Having own and love the 35 ART, I was very exited to try the new 85 ART. I have to say, my first shoot did not disapoint. Wide open was incredible, and focus was dead on with my Canon 5D MKIII. Focus speed was quick, and wide open shots had undetectable chromatic aberration. The contrast signature was similar to what I saw with my 35 ART--which is stunning. I'm not a pixel peeper, just someone who wants their equipment to work, and the 85 ART did just that. It's not until I read all the reviews on the lens after purchase that solidified my choice. I no longer own the 85L and it will not be missed. ... show more
