Exceptional Lens, Bad Taste in the mouth Service Experience

The Sigma 105mm F1.4 Art lens truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Bokeh Master'. The sharpness is impeccable, and it performs exceptionally well in various lighting conditions, making it a superb choice for both professional and enthusiast photographers alike. The quality of bokeh produced by this lens is nothing short of artistic, with smooth transitions that enhance portrait photography beautifully. However, my overall satisfaction with the purchase was marred by the customer service experience at Adorama when I attempted to price match this lens with a lower price I found on Amazon shortly after my purchase. The process was unexpectedly cumbersome, characterized by what felt like intentional delay tactics and a somewhat passive-aggressive attitude that was quite off-putting. This experience left a lot to be desired and raised concerns about making significant purchases from Adorama in the future. While the product itself is fantastic, potential buyers might want to consider their options for where to make such a significant investment, based on customer service responsiveness and support

Great Lens

I've owned this for a number of years now and it's still a beast. This lens has held up over the years and is just as sharp as the day I first placed on my Sony camera.

This lens has produced outstanding photos in some challenging conditions, and feels very well built. Although the lens is heavy, it is easily managed with the attached accessory shoe (tripod / monopod - shoe)

Worth the price, worth the heft!

Everyone knows this lens needs to go on a diet, so I won't say anything else about that part. We're using it in large catholic churches, attached to a Canon R7. What this effectively does is give us 170mm of reach BUT with 2 full stops of light MORE than you'd get on the RF 70-200. It is a game changer. I really don't use it that much at a reception, because my RF 28-70 is hard to turn away from, once I have off camera flash, but for what I do use it for, nothing can touch it.

Sigma 105mm f1.4 art lense

By far the best portrait lense I own. The weight isn't much more than the 24-70 f2.8 art lense so it's not a problem for me.

Bokeh master

I have been shooting with sigma glass for some time now and the 105mm f/1.4 is my absolute favorite. I have used this lens for almost everything, such as automotive, nature, wildlife, landscape and portraits, and it?s just amazing across the board. Whether you shoot wide open or stop it down, every shot comes out ridiculously sharp with excellent color rendering. After shooting my first portraits with this lens, it immediately became my favorite portrait lens. I quickly seen why so many deem it the bokeh master.

Amazing piece of glass...

This is my first sigma lens and very happy with it. It is heavy compare to my Nikon 135 f2.0 dc lens which also my favorite portrait lens. I'm a hobbyist but when it comes to equipment I always go to the best as long as I can afford it.

The Bokeh Master in the House .

Hi I bought mine last week at your store on the internet it looked like it was a used in good condition but when I came into the store to trade in my 120-300mm F2.8 DG HSM OS lens I heard it is an open box model so it was new not used and got a great price so I am happy with the deal I am now back in South America and fine tuned during my stay in NYC only by the feel and luck I forgot to buy the Sigma USB dock for F mount and sensor swabs to buy but I can do that by the internet soon. so I do recomendate this Bokeh master but it needs fine tuning . More than happy .it is sharp as hell or what ever you want to call it.

Have enjoyed the lens so far! It is a little heavy but able to hold and shoot without it being a problem. Can get a really narrow depth of field which is nice. Focuses quickly. No complaints.

The gravitational pull of this thing is incredible....,

This lens is exactly what all the other reviews say....it’s huge, heavy, slightly unruly on mirrorless cameras.....but man does it deliver!!! This thing is nice and sharp at f1.4, blows away backgrounds better than even our 135 f1.8 Zeiss I feel, but it’s size can make you think twice about using it in the first place. Using eye af with this thing works pretty well too, seems to stick well. It really seems to be high quality in build and glass and will give you high quality results. Just know what you’re buying (or have a good idea of the size and weight) and you will be very happy with this. Gives a rendering and feel unlike a lot of modern lenses, smooth, interesting bokeh, sharp wide open. What’s not to like?! Weaklings be forewarned.....

A keeper

By Donald F.

Words fall short so included five snapshots. Many years ago when I started into photography, I enjoyed the Nikon 105mm manual focus lenses on my Nikon F (non meter prism) body. Today, I rarely use them. They have been replaced by the Sony a7III and this Sigma 105mm lens. if you are considering this lens of course take into account the weight (like a bottle of wine) and size. In my case I was used to heavy lens like 500mm 4.0 and 600mm 4.0 telephotos so that was not a problem. But for a ...

great lens

By DONALD F.

Dream lens. Nightmare on weight over time, but dream come true for images captured. To mitigate the weight I purchased a Small Rig carrying handle to attach to the tripod mount. This makes it easier to carry. Filters can be expensive. Surprisingly good for close up images.

Find unparalleled excellence in the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens for Canon EF, a prime lens that stands as a pinnacle of the Art line's F1.4 series. Designed for full-frame Canon EF mount cameras, this lens, affectionately known as the "Bokeh Master," delivers a level of clarity and background blur that will transform your photography into a work of art.

Crafted with a legacy of F1.4 brilliance, the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens is part of a lineage that began with the groundbreaking 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art. This series is renowned for its minimal optical aberration, exceptional resolution, and high contrast. The 105mm f/1.4 lens continues this tradition, offering photographers a tool that excels in both sharpness and bokeh, making it an ideal choice for professional portrait photography and other applications where subject isolation is desired.

Optical mastery is at the forefront of this lens's design. It features a complex arrangement of 17 optical elements in 12 groups, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and one aspherical lens element. This configuration effectively reduces axial chromatic aberration and ensures outstanding resolution, even at the edges of the frame. The large aperture of F1.4 not only provides a bright viewfinder experience but also allows for a significant volume of peripheral light, enhancing low-light performance and enabling photographers to capture the subtle nuances of their subjects.

The Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens is a marvel in light capture, thanks to its substantial 105mm filter diameter. This feature is instrumental in reducing vignetting and creating a stunning bokeh effect that is both smooth and aesthetically pleasing, further solidifying its reputation as the "Bokeh Master."

Durability meets professional expectations with a rugged design inspired by Sigma's Sports line. The lens boasts a dust and splash-proof construction with critical areas sealed to withstand challenging environments. The front element is treated with a water- and oil-repellent coating, simplifying maintenance and extending the lens's lifespan.

Autofocus performance is swift and precise, capturing moments with accuracy and ensuring that the photographer's vision is realized without compromise. The innovative CFRP lens hood offers durability and lightness, while the removable Arca-Swiss compatible tripod socket adds versatility for both tripod and hand-held shooting.

For Canon users, the lens is optimized for in-camera Lens Aberration Correction, which aligns with the lens's optical characteristics to correct issues such as peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, and distortion, thus delivering superior image quality.

In summary, the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens for Canon EF is a high-quality, professional, durable, versatile, and innovative tool that redefines the standards of portrait and low-light photography. Whether capturing the grandeur of a cathedral or the intimacy of a starlit portrait, this lens promises to deliver images that are as technically precise as they are artistically captivating.
