This particular Sigma Art lens in for Sony mirrorless cameras in the Alpha series. If you know these cameras, you are aware that they are small, lightweight, and versatile. This lens is a monster. I had read reviews describing this 85mm f/1.4 as "big and heavy," but I had no idea it would literally dwarf my little Sony AR7. I mean, seriously, looking at the lens and camera straight on, you literally almost can't tell there's a camera behind that behemoth of a lens. Now, as far as the lens quality is concerned, it is as solid as a rock. With respect to the quality of the photographs it produces, I had always been a little disappointed with photographs produced by the AR7, but with this lens carving the light stream heading for the sensor, I am seeing portrait shots that are breathtaking in professional quality. As heavy as it is, this lens is now in my inventory wherever I go... with, of course, a rather larger camera bag if I want to take my actual camera along with the lens.Read full review

Amazing lens at a great value. The lens is very hefty and well build. With A7R III or A7 III the lens and camera together weights over 4lb. Continues AF (AF-C) and Eye AF work beautifully, both in stills and video. In Single Shot AF (AF-S) focus tends to hunt a bit more compared to some of Sony's native camera offerings. The image is just as sharp as other Art offerings from Sigma, and bokeh is soft and creamy.

This lens has an amazing depth of field. At 1.4, you have to be very careful. If you or the subject move just an inch, your focus will be off. When you get it right, the images are amazingly sharp with an extremely shallow depth of field. At higher apertures, the sharpness is outstanding.

Thing works amazingly, focus isn’t as fast as I thought it would be in low light but none the less it’s amazing, sharp image. Pretty durable too because I just throw all my gear in a backpack and it holds up well.
