For a 1.8, I think it's pretty excellent to be honest. I do have this lens and the Sigma 85 art and I decided to keep both when I really only wanted to keep one. The 1.8S is perfect when wanting a small kit, but the Sigma creates images that have that little extra dreaminess for my liking. Depending on the scene though, the difference is very slim and the rational decision would be to sell the Sigma and enjoy the 1.8S.

Here's a situation where I don't think it makes a big enough difference for most, but it will...Show more →

Thank you for doing this @urbanwild You managed to get a cooperative (and pretty) subject as well

It is so insightful to see these comparisons. Yes, I have both the 85ART and 85S and like you, I have held on to both

Thank you for the kind words! Tough to sell that Sigma, isn't it?!!! It's keeping me from being interested in the 1.2S which is a good thing financially

You are right on the money

I have no craving for 85-1.2S since the 85ART does so well. I also have the 40ART and a D850 to use it (I just can't bring myself to sell that camera despite having Z6/Z7s) Of course, the Sigma ARTs do so well on mirrorless bodies so I am enjoying both DSLR and the Z gear.
