Even though we're all waiting for the shipment of this lens, I decided to start an image thread dedicated for Nikon 105mm f/1.4E ED.
I can assure you that along with Hardcore and DJ R, I will be very active on here

Here are the sample images from Nikon to start off with.

After seeing this preview, I don't think i'll be picking up the Sigma 135. You guys plan on getting it?

No, but I just don't get it. The Sigma 135mm will be an amazing lens that rivals the 105mm. Both lenses will be capable of producing amazing results so why try and justify your 105mm purchase with a piss poor review of some guy wearing a flamingo jacket and toy blue glasses.

Shots from yesterday afternoon before the storms set in
I love the combo of the D810 and 105/1.4, but I do prefer the size of my D750. That said the AF of the D810 and 105/1.4 just works and rarely misses. If it does miss it comes down to my technique and lack of concentration. Also it means most people can pick up the combo and have no real issues is capturing a shot. The bottom shot was taken by our close friend of my wife and myself which is often difficult to do

I'm going off of the 85 1.4 Art. I don't think the rendering and color look as good as the 105 1.4E. What makes you think the Sigma 135 will rival the 105? I haven't seen any Sigma lens look as good as the 105 1.4E for portraits. If it does rival it though i'll buy it in a second. But color and bokeh / rendering are the most important things to me when it comes to choosing a lens.

I have all of you to blame! My 105mm F1.4E arrived on last week, did a quick Dot Tune on both D810's and then off to a session. I dislike this lens so much I might as well sell off my other lenses, . Absolutely love this new version of the 105mm.

Well, I just sold my 200 F2 because of this lens. After my sample shots, I kept having to go back and fourth to try to see which I liked better. The 200 or the 105. I kind of like the compression better on the 200, but I don't know, for some reason I kind of liked the 105 shots a little more, I can't even tell you why. Maybe it's the "character" it has, or the warmer colors, maybe both. But at any rate I hated shooting with the 200 F2, it was fine for some shoots, but the long ones it got to be grueling when I started doing it every day during busy seasons. I figured if they are that close to me, why keep it when I can get 4k for selling it. The 105 is just so much lighter. I am also keeping an eye on the Sigma 135, but honestly even with the little more compression I don't know if I will like it as much as the 105, might end up passing on it. Especially if the AF isn't as accurate, i'm not trying to play musical Sigma 135's. I have heard of people having to trade Sigma Art lenses in more than Nikons to try to get a good copy.
