The reason for getting any f/1.4 lens is that it gives you the ability to shoot at that aperture without compromises in image quality. Although the GM produces smoother and rounder bokeh balls, it has to stop down to match the sharpness of the Sigma. It also has to stop down to get rid of those nasty colour fringing issues which is non existent in the Sigma. That's a big win for Sigma in my book. Despite having similar prices now that the GM is selling at US$1280 in Hong Kong, Sigma is the one that gets my money. Pre-ordered.

Thanks Dustin. Others reviews have noted the Sigma has some curvature of the focal plane which would make it impossible to get both the center and mid plane or corners in focus when shooting a flat surface like your target with the DMs. Did you note any of that in your testing? I guess if it was an issue the Sigma’s sharpness towards the edge would have improved if it was focused there (sacrificing the center in the process).

Assuming nothing is processed, there are some WB, colour and saturation differences that I guess could be adjusted. The brighter Sigma photos can be an advantage especially when using a large aperture lens specifically to get the lowest noise in low light (e.g. concerts... which will hopefully return). There seems to be some focus breathing in one or both. The Sigma has higher magnification for the same frame, less the farther you focus. Either (most likely) the Sigma becomes longer the closer you focus and/or the Sony becomes shorter.

Thank you for the video. Very nicely done. At this point the 85 GM is five years old so I am not unhappy with the fact that I have 5 years worth of photos with it that the Sigma could not provide. I am curious though if the FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro should be added for comparison. In the past macro lenses were not considered good portrait lenses due to the sharpness but if that is what everyone is wanting now maybe I should have just been using that. Also, I'm someone who values lens ergonomics being consistent across primes. My 20/1.8, 24/1.4, new 35/1.4, 85/1.4, and 135/1.8 are consistent. Do we have to wait for all the DG DN Sigma's to get that? One final comment. I am curious now how the new Canon RF 100mm f/2.8L Macro will compare? Maybe its not f/1.4 but I bet its equally as sharp from 2.8 to 5.6 so maybe that's a good alternative as well and it $1300 cheaper than the RF 85mm f/1.2L and it has IS. So much to think about.

This is the most detailed review I have ever seen. Both have major flaws. Ca distortion in one, pincushion distortion in the other. The far corner advantage of the GM disappears in most portrait work so, for me, the win goes to the Sigma. If one used it for landscape, the GM may be a better choice. I noticed a different color palette in the portrait work with more reds in your skin tones with the GM vs a more green appearance in the Sigma. That made the GM'S portrait images more appealing for me despite the resolution advantage of the Sigma. Quite a mixed bag. Personally, I feel the ca's of the Sony so badly affect image quality that the Sigma gets the win for me. Too bad you can't compare this to the performance of the Nikon z 85. The only thing not covered here is af performance. That usually favors the OEM lens.

Thank you for the extensive testing. I'm reminded of the Canon 85mm f1.2L II where the lack of pin-sharp focus with skin texture and dreamy bokeh produces some lovely images (and it had lots of chromatic aberration). I'm just not sure that zooming in to 100% to see marginal differences in focus is what an 85mm portrait lens is about, and I do think that quality of bokeh is really important in portraits - the softer the better. Personally, I already find the sharpness of the Sony can accentuate skin defects (particularly in close-ups). Obviously, this is not the case for other lenses (e.g. 35mm), which may be used for applications where sharpness is absolutely critical and pixel peeping is much more valuable. I absolutely love my Sigma 35mm f1.2 lens, for example.

I aim to get as high resolution as I can, and note how lens technology is improving with time, hence always looking for upgrade possibilities. I do my own testing of the lenses I own, to check if I have received a lower quality dud example, and to learn more about my lenses. I sometimes can not achieve as good a result as you (or other testers) achieve, especially edge sharpness. To what extent do you think manufacturers loan you optimized examples to test, better than the example that we are likely to buy, knowing that you are an influencer? Also I check sharpness in Lightroom at 2:1 magnification, and find that this picks up defects when 1:1 magnification still looks OK.

I've also returned lenses from companies loaning them to me because I know they aren't performing up to specification (they've been damaged), so I know I'm not always sent the cream.

Samyang 85mm 1.2 vs these lenses?
@DustinAbbottTWI4 жыл бұрын
They have nicer build and more features, obviously, and a little better autofocus. The Samyang is a not a lot worse optically.

Still not selling my Milvus 85! I also get mildly annoyed by Sigma’s yellow cast!

The Milvus is a fabulous lens. I don't see the cast you are referring to, though.

havent been for awhile. video production level is down. get your lighting better. some back lighting or window lighting. also, that audio is horrific. get a lavaliere mic or an overhead boom mic. invest in that. room echo and distance from mic is very evident.

I went back and checked this video to see if your criticisms have merit. They don't.

Dustin Abbott sorry I may have wrongly pushed the keyboard. I have preordered the canon r5, RF 501.2 RF 85 1.2 ans Rf 24-70 2.8. Do you recommend them? As you know I always highly regard your opinion. Thanks!
