The Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens is known as the 'bokeh master' for its ability to produce images with a shallow depth of field and stunning bokeh effect, thanks to its f/1.4 aperture. Its advanced optical design ensures sharp focus and minimal aberration, making it perfect for capturing detailed portraits.
Yes, the lens's optical system minimizes sagittal coma flare, which makes it excellent for capturing clear, sharp images of starry skies, in addition to its primary use for portrait photography.
The Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT Tripod and TBH-100 Head provide a stable and flexible platform for photographers, enhancing the lens's performance by allowing for precise framing and stability in various shooting conditions.
The lens features a dust- and splash-proof construction with special sealing in critical areas and a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element, making it durable and easy to clean for use in different environments.
While this particular lens is designed for Leica L mount cameras, Sigma offers versions of this lens for other camera mounts as well. Compatibility may vary, so it's important to choose the correct version for your camera system.
Review Summary
2024-05-10T17:48:23
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

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
It is with great pride that Adorama presents the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens for Leica L, a true masterpiece in the realm of professional photography. Known as the "bokeh master," this lens is the pinnacle of Sigma's Art line, offering an unrivaled f/1.4 aperture that ensures exceptional low-light performance and a shallow depth of field for that sought-after bokeh effect. With a focal length perfect for portrait photography, this lens promises to deliver images with breathtaking resolution and contrast.
Crafted meticulously for full-frame sensors, the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens stands out with its advanced optical construction of 17 elements in 12 groups. This includes three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements, and one aspherical lens element, all working in harmony to minimize axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare. The result is strikingly sharp images with beautifully rendered out-of-focus areas, making it an ideal choice for portraits, as well as astrophotography.
The lens's exceptional peripheral brightness is achieved through its large 105mm filter diameter, which significantly increases peripheral light volume, reducing vignetting and enhancing the bokeh effect. This feature, combined with the lens's high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus, allows photographers to capture every detail with clarity and precision.
Durability and ease of use are also at the forefront of this lens's design. The dust- and splash-proof construction, similar to Sigma's Sports line lenses, ensures reliability in various shooting conditions. The front element boasts a water- and oil-repellent coating for effortless cleaning. Additionally, the lens hood is made from CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), offering strength and lightness, and the removable Arca-Swiss compatible tripod socket adds versatility to this professional tool.
This bundle enhances the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens experience by including the Vanguard Alta Pro 264AT Tripod and TBH-100 Head, providing a stable and flexible platform for any shooting scenario. The included cleaning kit and cloth ensure that your lens remains in pristine condition, ready for your next photographic adventure.
Whether capturing intimate portraits, expansive landscapes, or the night sky's twinkling stars, the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens for Leica L, bundled with essential accessories, is an unparalleled choice for photographers seeking to elevate their craft to new heights.
