The new Sigma 135mm f/1.8 tested on the Sony A7rII

Share

The German Blog Docma (translation here) is the first site testing the new Sigma 135mm f/1.8 on the Sony A7rII. Their conclusion is:

1) the mild Background effect is (almost) unique and perfect for “full body” Model Shooting.
2) The lens shows no compromise in any area
3) The Bokeh is very harmonic and shows no artifacts
4) the lens is sharp from edge to edge even at f/1.8 aperture.

The superb Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART lens is now on preorder for $1,399 (And first short review)

Share

Sigma is really making some superb glas lately! Their ART line matches the Zeiss Otus performance for a third of the price. And now you can preorder the new Sigma 135mm f/1.8 lens at BHphoto Adorama. The lens costs $400 less than the Zeiss A-mount 135mm lens. Of course the Sigma is not available as A-mount or E-mount. But E-mount can use it with the excellent MC-11 adapter. And I hope Sigma will make a native E-mount version too.

Why does it make sense to use this lens on a Sony A7II camera series? As explained in the video below by Photogearnews the lens weights forces Canon/Nikon shooters to shoot at least at 1/250 shutter speed to get sharp images. The Sony’s built-in stabilization will make the lens useable at lower shutter speeds too!
