I would love to see the Sigma 85mm Art version vs. the Sigma 85mm "non-Art" version to see if there is some noticeable difference between both lenses !

I've literally been searching for updated information on this lens daily. So far this is the only thing that has come up today:

http://digicame-info.com …5mm-f14-dg-hsm-art-1.html (external link)

1130 grams or 39.85oz which is about 4.5oz heavier than the 85 1.2II

I'll get to check it out next week at Photo Plus Expo. Can't wait to see how noticeable the weight difference is.

If I buy you this and have it sent to your house can you sneak it in and verify for me?  :p

I'm intrigued by this lens, I honestly didn't think Sigma would make an 85mm given how stiff the competition is at that focal length, so it should be an absolute cracker.

I've already got the Nikon 85mm f1.8, but might sell it for the sigma if it's worth it.

I've been looking for reviews as well, and was particularly interested in the weight, thanks, good find! Do you read Japanese(??) or were you just scanning for numbers?

It's a process. Translate from english to japanese then switch over to the japanese search engines. takes awhile to say the least.

Posted this on the other thread too but here:

Official specs on the japan sigma site. 1,130 grams = 39.85oz. From what I gather the lens hood is another 55g which brings total weight with hood to 41.6-41.8oz with hood.

http://www.sigma-global.com …t/a_85_14/speci​fications/ (external link)

5.5oz heavier than 85 1.2 II.

As an example my Tamron 15-30 weighs in at 1079 grams or about 105 grams less than this Sigma. or about 3.7oz more.

For sure... weight will be the issue for most.

So the specs are actually updated on the entire Sigma Global website but not on the sigmaphoto.com site. Interesting
