My purpose of this posting was to show my reasons for staying with my new sigma, and selling my 135. It was a hard decision. After pages of reading about the lenses, I needed some images to review to help make my choice. This is what I did and the factors for keeping, buying, or selling a 135mm.
First my images shot on tripod with my 6d. I bumped the speed on the third shot, but everything else is close. I shot in RAW with zero ediitng in lr4.
First shot the 70/200 at 2.8, 100 iso, 1/1000

second shot the 135mm at 2.8, 100iso, 1/1000

the third is the 135mm at 2.0, 100iso, 1/1250 bumped by mistake.

next i wanted to know how much distance I might need to move around with the 135 prime to do the same with the sigma. Shot on tripod. All the three shots at 70, 135, and 200 mark on lens.
first sigma shot at 5 foot 2 inches.

second shot at 10 foot 9 inches.

third shot at 15 foot 8 inches.

My factors to sell it were that I didnt have room for it in my bag, so when I packed for a shoot, it was usually left behind. Not having os was a factor, and wondering if I would have room to shoot with it, just made it easier to leave behind. But for me it was like a nice statue. Pretty to look at and own, just never used it over the other lenses i had. Buuut, I might buy it again if i see a need for it. Just not now.
