Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Large Aperture Medium Telephoto Prime Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Reviews
| 63 of 66 people found the following review helpful  Fantastic lens! A comparison to Canon's f1.2 L mk II and f1.8..., By C. Vincent (Rochester, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Large Aperture Medium Telephoto Prime Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics) I've always been hesitant to try sigma lenses because I hear a lot of problems that people have with the focusing on them. I passed up on the widely regarded 50mm f1.4 and 30mm f1.4 even though they got stellar reviews for the most part. When Sigma came out with the 85mm f1.4 for less than half the price of Canon's 85mm f1.2 L II, I had to see if it would save me a bundle in my search for a great 85mm.I took some time to compare this one to the 85mm f1.8 and the 85mm f1.2 L II by renting all three before making any decisions, and I have to say that this lens really impresses! The Sigma lens is much lighter than the Canon f1.2 and therefore, much easier to handle. The first thing that comes to mind when putting the canon f1.2 on my camera is how awkward everything feels - it's weight and "top-heaviness" really throw the balance off (I'm using a 7D) and makes the whole set-up feel wrong. With the sigma, I don't get this feel.... it feels right. It feels like...

I use prime lenses more as specialty lenses when I want to narrow depth of field or in extreme darkness. I own the Canon 85 1.8, itself an excellent lens, and rented a Canon 85 1.2L, a fabled Canon staple. The Sigma is actually better than the 85 1.8 at large apertures and rivals the Canon 85L in almost all respects. Compared to the Canon 85L, the Sigma is slightly more compact and lightweight. It's build is similar to my Canon 35 1.4L. More importantly, the Sigma focuses faster on all of my cameras--5D, 5DII, and the 50D. The Canon L has the advantage of being weather sealed and accepted by Canon Professional Services for pros who are members. The Canon 85L is also unique in that it opens to 1.2 rather than just 1.4.The Sigma autofocuses faster than the Canon L and almost as fast as the Canon 85 1.8. There have been reports of this lens hunting, having seizures, and making squeaking noises. If your copy of...

When it arrived, I thought I had a dud: AF would not stop hunting, nor would it lock on to anything, even high-contrast subjects. It simply jerked back and forth as though it were suffering from a seizure, and didn't stop unless I took my finger off the shutter. This lasted for about 20-25 minutes. Has anyone experienced this? 2.) After 20-25 minutes of AF madness, it literally seemed to "snap out of it," and the AF has been nothing short of stellar since. Simply no more hunting or convulsing. Nearly as fast as the EF 85 1.8, but tremendously faster than the 85L II. It now locks onto everything and does it quickly, even in near darkness. This is simply astounding. (This is using center point on a 5D2; the outer points are useless, but this is true for pretty much any other... Read more |
