Sigma has released their latest fast-apertured prime in the form of an 85mm f/1.4, a popular focal length for portrait photographers. With Nikon and Canon's offerings costing a considerable amount more, does the Sigma offer up enough quality to be a good enough alternative to the big brands' lenses? Is it sharp? What's the bokeh like? Find out in this video.

  • @SH1R3PRODUCT1ONS ha ha ha. very funny. at floor level

  • anyone know if they sell that extra hood adaptor?

  • The sigma costs less than half that of the canon and nikon 85's whilst being sharper and has less CA... so yeah not much to complain about, also at f2.0 there's barely any CA or vignetting whatsoever, and still less than canons and nikons.

    "HEIL HITLER!"

  • "I convinced Lok to swap with me, he's given me his 5D Mark II and I've given him my 1D Mark IV. Basically so I can test it on full frame." And my reaction: "What are you talking about?" Then I Google'd the 1D Mark IV and found out it's not full frame.

  • nikon strap on a canon camera using sigma lens...
