Sigma’s announcement of the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART was intriguing to a lot of photographers because of the extreme nature of the focal length and aperture. Sigma has carved out a niche for itself by offering with a certain “extreme” quality; they often push the limit of what can be done with a certain focal length/range and maximum aperture. There is only one other lens that achieves this focal length and maximum aperture – the Nikon 105mm f/1.4E. The Nikon lens is significantly more expensive (about $600), but also significantly smaller and lighter (about 1.5lb or 655g less). The Sigma 105mm is large, heavy, and optically exceptional – pretty much the mantra for the ART series, though carried to an extreme here. Still, portrait photographers can delight, as this is a versatile focal length that will allow them more flexibility than a 135mm lens while giving similar levels of subject isolation. Check back often for new photos from this lens and watch for my full review coming soon!
