Thanks Joshua! What kinds of camera bags are you guys using for location portraits with this beast?
Well it depends on how much gear I am taking but I can even fit it in this Lowepro Format BP150 II which is, to me, a pretty small bag and can still fit my 35mm 1.2 and a few extra things in there.
As far as events, I use a Moneymaker dual strap with the 105mm and normally the 35mm 1.2 on the other side but that varies depending on what I am doing during the event.
Joshua could likely make stunning photos with a lens made from the bottom of a milk bottle he’s that good a photographer. That said I have adapted my Nikkor 105mm F1.4 (in inventory) and find it to be superb. A large lens with an 82mm filter but nothing like the size/weight of the Sigma which is cheaper.

Thank you very much, Bruce! I prefer a good lens though...but I agree that lens is a beast to handle though.
We had an earthquake this Sunday, on top of the COVID-19 situation. So while for safety reasons out of the building and at the same time keeping mandatory social distance, we went for a short stroll & photo shoot (to take our minds of things for a little while). It helped me, can't vouch for my son.
I know this lens is chunky and not light (as you see, I refrain from using the adjectives such, heavy, monstrous, humongous, etc. ) but yet, I took it to cover the Mask Carnival in Venice last month. Here is one of the images from there... Cross posted in the big FE image thread, as well.
Here's a pic I took a couple of months ago with the 105 along with a close to 100% crop of it. I've mostly used it in studio until recently but don't really have any pics taken outdoors to show yet
Beast of a lens. Now I consider the 35mm f/1,2 to be a light lens. lol
Focuses extremely fast on the A7RIV, only struggling in strong back-light. But this seems to be an issue I'm having with all AF lenses lately on my A7RIV (35 f/1,2, GM 85 and this one).
EDIT: Processed to taste, more structural and detailed in the OOF than the SOOC output is.
