Who cares. That's what it's there for and mine is a 4,600 dollar lens. I just found my lens to be severely back focus. I had to make -20 on my Canon 6D.

I thought it's my inexperienced shooting this wide and start using back button focus. Talley wrote in post #18204531 You may need dock and in camera mfa

I asked the wife to sit still for a moment, hope to have the time for a planned shoot soon (was shooting other stuff beforehand, didn't move the shutter up unfortunately).  -Randy Gear: Canon 5D MKIII, 6D & 7D, 70-200mm f2.8 IS II, 24-105mm L, 50mm STM - Sigma 85mm & 35mm f1.4 ART - Rokinon 8mm Fisheye

One thing in favor of the 85mm focal length vs 135mm, is that you can get away with using a lot slower shutter speeds (hand held). If I dip below 1/200 with my 135mm chances are I will not have a critically sharp image. Carpe Diem

I have actually hand held my 135 at 1/60 and got sharp results. I don't recommend it and I try not to shoot like that. It was dark and I had pushed my ISO and aperture as much as I could (no lights or tripod with me) but the shots turned out nice. I have a pretty steady hand right now. I want lenses more than diamonds.

I'd say for my uses its better as a 3/4 body shot vs full body like the 200L No reason you couldn't of used 1.4 then.
