Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F (321955)

I would give this lens 5 stars but calibrating it was a pain in the butt (even with the docking system) and its still off by maybe an inch. It has to be calibrated or the focus will be off. Still it has focal issues in AF mode. I will say even after all of that its an amazing lens. The images are crystal clear, and the background is a creamy blur. Its a heavy beast of a lens, weighs more than my camera and the glass is huge. It feels like high quality and takes high quality photos. You have to stand pretty far away with the 85mm, my next purchase might be the 35mm Sigma Art.

This is a good lens. Sadly, not quite great. When this lens hits the mark, the sharpness is simply amazing. However, it doesnt quite always hit the mark and that can be frustrating. High contrast shots (bright backgrounds on shadowed subjects) tend to confuse the auto-focus system. It doesnt tend to hunt, but solidly locks focus on something other than what you are trying to get in focus. If you buy this lens, buy the docking station. Trust me on this; youll need it. My model was back focusing badly when I first received it, The docking station and a little patience fixed that little issue. So, overall its a good lens. Again, clarity and sharpness are as good or better than any Canon lens Ive ever used. Consistency is an issue though.
