Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Hands-on Review




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.

    @mguzzo7 On my lenses (nikon) there is a small tap at the back of the lens which will move in a small groove. Hard to explain, but when you move that forward(or back depending on,… never mind.. ) it will open the aperture. I think that was what he did.
    On other lenses the aperture will stay open when detached from the camera body. I know that some older canon lenses does that. I don’t know if the Sigma does that as well.

    I like the camera person’s lens better. When you first put your focus on the camera person, I could not distinguish what the person was holding in his hand. His camera just looked like a silhouette. @ 4:35

    @ 46 seconds in, how does he have the aperture wide open while the lens is detached from the camera? Mine closes whenever it is detached from the camera.

    @FristOneStoned It’s range is 85mm to 85mm, as it is a prime, a therefore has no zoom.
    Tbh, if you’re looking to blow a grand on camera gear, you should at least be able to tell that.
