You should have a defective lens, or something else...


as of this moment, i had tried 3 copies, all same results but different level of decentering. in terms of sharpness in center-mid corner-corner, they'^re just same,,,impossible to have 3 defective copies in a month.I believe you dont have GM135 at all or a defective one

Sadly I've already sold this lens off. Not due to the quality it produces but more so to the fact I'm switching brands so getting rid of all my FE glass. When this lens releases on RF mount it will be an instant buy for me!

There will be one key difference. Sigma licenses the FE-mount specs and communication protocol from Sony. This makes for very reliable use and interoperability of Sigma lenses on Sony cameras, also with future generations of Sony FE-mount cameras. Regarding the Canon RF-mount Sigma will have to reverse engineer everything, so there is no guarantee for reliable interoperability between Sigma lenses and Canon RF bodies in the future, not even with new generations of firmware for Canon RF bodies. Canon and Nikon do not license specs or communication protocols to third parties.

This is a risk one should be aware of.

Sony FE-mount and Leica/Panasonic/Sigma L-mount are the most future proof mounts for mirrorless Sigma glass.

Very true! I’ve been told that Samyang use the EF protocol for the RF lenses so it will be interesting to see if Sigma do the same and how it will affect performance.

Bird photography with α7R IV and Sigma 85mm DN.
Just a fun test to see how close I could get, but I'm getting a Sony 200-600mm sooner or later.

Here's a very heavy crop as well.

Same here! Just placed the order on Amazon ($1050 after CC discount). Can't wait to pair it up on my A7III

I was going to wait for a possible 135 f/1.8 DN, but think this will fit my needs better.

Shooting with the A7riii

I normally use wide with my 24mm but I had worked with centre for this because of the shallow depth of field.

No issues with AF, the AF challenges were more to do with the conditions than the lens.

Love the CKCS shots. We have a 5 year old tri color and you can bet the first shots with my 85 will be of her.

Thank you! He will be 8 soon. He absolutely hates getting his ears combed so he always look like a stray dog.
