I agree with Lance here. Kudos to Nikon and Sigma as there some superb lenses now. The 105G, 70-200 f/2.8E FL, 85 Art and 135 Art. In essence we have choices to suit and in all honesty they are all amazing. I have the 70-200 f2.8E and 105/1.4 G and these are truly a superb combo.
So far I love the shots with the 135 Art but I have had 135mm FL lenses I find them limiting in that it is either too long for indoor shots or not far enough to compress for outdoors shots. I find it a specialist lens which superb when I use it but it is typically about 10% of the time unless it is for a dedicated shoot.
I have the 35 Art, 50 Art, 58G, 85/1.4G, 105G and 70-200E FL which are great for portraits and groups.
That said I will also look at the 135 Art to add to my Art series. The look with the Art series is unique and are very sharp and tend to have higher micro contrast. Sometimes for portraits they can be too harsh as I prefer lenses that have less micro contrast.
