    Credible candid review, Curtis. Humor and dog cameo a nice touch. Not excited about a lens of this heft and bulk - unless, as you mentioned it resided in a studio on a STRONG tripod😊. “Insaner” now official. Cheers!

    Thanks for that. Great review. I just gotta say that Sigma are just doing some incredible stuff at the moment. Their lenses are simply amazing value - even at the price asked for this one. Top quality is coming out across the range these days, both for full frame and APS-C. Well done Sigma - and there will be those who need something exactly like this. Me, I'm a standard mid-range zoom guy and rarely need anything else. APS-C for stealth and the Sigma 18-50 - perfect!

    What would you recommend more the 85mm 1.4 art lens or the 105mm art lens? I am going back and forth between the two for portraits and car meets

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  2 місяці тому

      As I mentioned towards the end of the video, I would personally choose the 85mm over the 105mm for my shooting, hope that helps ✌️

    • @petrpohnan875
      @petrpohnan875 Місяць тому

      I was deciding exactly between these two. Had these two lenses for about a week side by side. And went for the 105/1.4. It has a slight edge in the IQ wide opened and basically lacks any purple fringing, unlike the 85mm. Also I wanted to try a bit different FL since I did own 85mm for last 15 years. And lastly but not leastly the 105mm has kind of a unique look to me that 85mm lacks.
      So for me the decision was clear.

    I love mine although if I were looking at one now, I'd wait to see what price the long-rumoured Sigma 85mm 1.2 comes in at. I sure hope that one comes out soon because that's the last lens I need to add to complete my dream team of the 35mm 1.2, 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.2, 105mm 1.4 and 135mm 1.8. And I know that's absurdly overkill and way too much to take on a single shoot, but it would also be totally awesome to have every option available lol.

    This is where Full Frame falls short, you can get basically the same shot with the €500 Viltrox 75mm 1.2 which suddenly feels light with just 670g compared to this monster

    • @petrpohnan875
      @petrpohnan875 Місяць тому +4

      Not at all. The exact equivalent to the Sigma 105/1.4 on Canon body would be 65mm f/0.875 lens. While the FL 65mm vs 75mm is rather close, the aperture difference is huge - one and a half stop slower.
      By no means these two lenses are equivalent.
      Fast primes (FF equivalent of f/1.2, 1.4) is actually where APS-C falls short significantly.

    • @drchtct
      @drchtct Місяць тому

      @@petrpohnan875 Do the conversion the other way around and you'll realize it's a lot closer than you make it. Nobody ever looked at images of the Viltrox 75 and said "oh no, I need f0.9, because the completely blown out background isn't blown out enough. The 75 1.2 becomes a 112.5 1.8 in FF terms. Compare the same shot with a 105 1.4 and you get extremely close. The background is blown out anyway, Viltrox has extremely creamy bokeh rendering in their 27 and 75 Pro which helps a lot. Is it technically slightly different? Yes. Is it worth the massive price and especially weight difference? No. I personally wouldn't even carry the Viltrox with me, someone would have to pay me a lot of money to carry a 1.7kg lens lmfao.

    Everybody is using a 70-200mm 2.8 - which is near the same in weight - without complaining about the weight. So. I don't understand that point.
    Is the lens to heavy.... you are too weak.
    NOBODY use this Lens in a Studio. lol.
    This is a definitely Outdoor Lens.

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  Місяць тому

      A 70-200 F2.8 and Sigma 105mm F1.4 are not the same weight no where near. Can I draw your attention to time Stamp 6:03.
      Here I clearly show the Sigma 105 is 1645 grams.
      Then I demonstrate that, that lens is nearly just as heavy as two lenses combined. A sigma 85mm F1.4 and Sony 70-200 F2.8 II. The specific weight of the 70-200 is 1045g. Exactly 600g less heavy then this 105.
      I personally wouldn’t want to be using this lens on a daily basis as for my shooting style it’s too heavy and cumbersome. Yea the results are phenomenal but it’s not worth it for me personally. Everyone’s use case is different.
      This is just my opinion and preference don’t take offence and get so defensive if someone has a different opinion to yourself.
      Hope that helps.
