Which was your favorite and why?
Both 105mm and 135mm Sigmas are amazing!
85 vs 105 which is better than buying wedding photography and fashion photography
Thats not 3d pop.
I prefer 100mm. 85 too close to 50. I am 20,35,50 dude
You could remake this now in the city with the newer lenses and câmera, this was already 5 years ago, I'm curious to know if much has changed
Did you shoot all at F2.8??
I need to make background blur with full body model and landscape (horizontal) photo, whatlrns i must choose?
The 135 GM is considered by many testers to be the sharpest lens they have ever tested ,.I own it and it is indeed magical,.. with a 60 MP sensor it’s quite incredible,..
I was thinking that sigma 105 will be more outstanding. But now when i have 70-180 from tamron and zeiss Batis 85 im not sure if i need it 🤪
I've watched as many videos of the Sigma 105/1.4 ART as I can find (including your stand-alone YT review) and the elephant in the room has been the weight of this lens. Otherwise everyone who has reviewed it thinks that its a stellar lens. I guess no one should complain about its weight when they buy it – that part is well established. Hoping to own one someday!!
I will go for the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM ! I have it and can very highly recommended it. The Sigma 105 and 135 are too big and heavy. A very good alternative are the Samyang AF 135mm 1.8
Best broke lans?
I loved to see the result side by side to compare better, like the mosaic. Thank you for the video
If I use a Dof Calculator 200m 2.8 is equal to 135 1.8 so why does the 200mm not give the same pop.? Anyone can answer because I'm in the market for one. 85 1.4 I already have. 105 is too heavy
85mm is simply the best. I like too much also the 135 mm, but only for total body portrait.
Not gonna lie. I got a hard on watching this video & it wasn't from the model.
I shoot fashion and beauty and I'm by no means a super professional, big name photographer but I have been using a 24-70 and 70-200 for about 2 years now and I've started to move to primes. I use my 55mm 1.4 Zeiss for probably 70% of my compositions, my 24mm GM for those rare occasions where I need to compose wide and I just recently started looking at 85, 100 and 135 lenses to replace my 70-200 but I've quickly found out that since my main lens is a 55mm, the 85mm focal length doesn't really offer anything special compared to the 55mm and I'm not really getting that much closer with it either so for me it was a fight between either the 105mm Sigma or the 135mm GM!
I have just decided I will order the 135mm GM because I really don't like how Sigma makes things in the image look… It's hard to explain, it's like I would focus on the model but then everything around the model would be one dimensional and flat, like you couldn't tell how far stuff was from each other, like for example, if you had two cars one behind another, they would literally just look like you glued two car stickers on top of each other, whereas when I tried the 135mm GM, it would make everything look 3D, just like my 55mm Zeiss Otus does and I LOVE THAT kind of look because it reminds me of those old film and cinema lenses! Plus it looks more realistic because it's not just a flat image and for fashion and beauty shots that's SUUUPER useful and makes the model stand out from the environment even at f8, f11 or f16!
And the 135mm focal length is MUCH BETTER for head, head n shoulder, waist up, close up and detail beauty shots, since I use 55mm for basically everything else!
85 mm is the best!
you came in clutch 4 years ago. just in the market for a 105mm z macro or just go for the 70-200

Sigma 135 would be my choice I’ve I had the 85mm 1.4 too 👍🏻
The 105 mm lens still got the energy to bring out that amazing and hilarious picture.
Thanks 💪🙏
