Yes!
A = Sony for Example 4. Perhaps the giveaway was the crop showing it's sharper than the Sigma.
It also shows it's a little better corrected for LoCA.
Folks, both lenses are SUPERB!. Which one focuses better? I need more time to answer that but from my initial tests with the Sigma 135 indoors and outdoors, I'd say the Sony will be more reliable.

Eye AF will be crucial for me. I want to see if the Sony is any better at that. So far, my money is going towards the 135mm STF instead
Eye AF is a critical factor for me and I want sharp. I can always go negative settings on people. I do that with the Batis 135 so not a big deal. I need sharp and low light AF abilities for a variety of shooting. What is nice here is these are both great lenses and if your in a money pinch it’s a 400 to 500 cost savings and that may matter for some.

The weather improved and I will do some infinity tests now...
Any chance for having 1 shot with the Voigtlander 110 too? That lens is intriguing to many, if it works at infinity as well as in macro, I’ll join Guy and preorder lol (it’s not avail in Canada yet).
To me I see more sharpness in the wide open and F2 for the Sony. The Sony has more contrast especially on the corner crops. More micro contrast and nice bite to the file. On corner it looks like it takes to 5.6 on the Sigma to catch up
So far, sharp but not as sharp wide open (therefore kinder on skin) + slightly smoother background blur + cheaper = Sigma was the right choice for a portrait lens for me. As a sports or landscape lens, I can see the Sony pulling ahead.
Extreme edge crops comparison apertures from f/1.8 until f/5.6
Dunno but for me those yellow flowers or whatever they are seem more visible / distinct in the Sigma shots. In the Sony shots it looks like the bushes are covering them with their green.

Don't pay attention to that. Lighting changed a little bit.
Hey guys. While we were completely absorbed here, sonyalpharumours reported that Sigma has in the works a short flanged lens specifically designed for Sony FE. Source: interview with Sigma CEO.
