I'm just used to shooting at f2 on my 85l since it's quite a bit sharper than at 1.2, totally forgot about how sharp this lens is at this distance and do. F1.4 looks great.

Your right. Plenty of other options. Me personally I want perfection across any aperture and the 85A and 200L both deliver this. The 24/35/50 arts also do this very well....

Tons of movie/tv productions blow out the background.... just sayin. the 5D4 DPAF and a stabilized lens like a 35 F2 IS will produce some really nice video.

Dec 13, 2016 21:28 | #549 Got the lens today and did a quick test. So far I am impressed. I have a few other Sigma Art lenses but I think this one will be special.  Image hosted by forum (829305) © Beachguy [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

madhatter04 Goldmember 1,930 posts Likes: 52 Joined Oct 2006 Location: Southern California More info | Dec 20, 2016 18:14 | #553 Here's a couple "selfies" I took last night because I was in the mood to experiment after wrapping up final exams for my classes. They were both shot at f/5.6 (I believe) but the lens had no real problem focusing in live view mode using the EOS Remote app on my phone. Three flashes (one with a purple gel). Images came out incredibly sharp. Wasn't going to gamble with f/1.4 since I was by myself and splashing myself with corn starch.
