The images from the Sigma stand alone and for still photography, I don’t think it has an equal. I have the 85 GM and plan to get the 105 eventually. Thanks for the effort you put into this video, Jason!
I love the 105. The images are like no other lens I’ve used. Thanks for the video 🙏🏽
I got the 105 as soon as it came out and did the mount switch. Yeah, eye af sometimes miss but so far its been my main portrait/headshot lens. If you are shooting events where its easy to miss a moment dont get this, for studio work though where you can take your time this is one of the best lenses you can get.

I appreciate the perspective you gave with this compared to the 85mm 1.8 which is already on my list to get. Now that I know I can get similar results with a few step forward I’ll remove the 105mm and focus on the 24mm 1.4! Merry Christmas Sir!
Hey Jason! I'm glad you reviewed that 105, definitely was waiting for that review. I'd sure enjoy that shirt and hat! Have a great day, thanks for all your great content.
New to Sony mirrorless and your channel is the best!
I just recently got my sony A7III and I love it, these types of videos really help out when deciding on what lens to get, and I think I'm gonna go with the Sony 85 1.8 for telephoto
Thanks for the review. Most other reviews only show stills and no videos. I'm glad you tested video AF ...
Love the videos! Keep them coming! I hope to pick up the 85 mm 1.8 soon!
Great review man! I got to try this lens out and I was amazed at the sharpness but it’s huge!
Loving the Sigma 135 1.8, amazing portrait lens!
I’m planning on getting one. I love Sigma Primes.
Love your videos Jason. Just moved over from Canon Mk iii to Sony a7 ill and loving it. With the help of your step by step menu/function keys set up, I was able to start shooting with great results! Thanks 👌

I’m going to end up getting the 85MM 1.8. Thanks for the great review on the sigma Jason!
I already got my lens for the holidays! Thanks to your review I was able to pick up the Tamron 28-75 with confidence. Im doing a trip to Japan in may and that lens will probably live on the cam for most of the time. Thanks dude!
I like how thorough and practical your tests are for the lenses. They are funny too! Your other review on the.Sigma 16mm/1.4 helped me in the decision to buy it and I am glad I did!
Thanks for the video! Would love the shirt/cap combo! Thanks
Was having a hard time choosing between the 85 and the 105, but I think I'll be picking up the 85. Great video! Also that T-shirt & beanie are 👌🏼
Awesome review J 👍, Just got the Sony A7iii and 70-200 2.8 GM, massive upgrade from my A6000 and 55-210mm! Feeling blessed and excited for the New year 🙏 thanks for all the videos, Love from Lagos!
Love your hobbyist perspective when reviewing things. Thanks!
I really love the milky smooth effect you get with this lens. It also helps that’s it’s a prime. I’m a prime head.

Thanks for making this video! I just stumbled on your channel today. I’ve been shooting Sony for a few years and I’ve got an Riii now. I was considering the 105 but since I own the 85 already I don’t see a need. Your video helped me make that decision lol. Nice content def got a sub from me
Thank you for the great video... Merry Christmas
Great video Jason. Love your reviews and opinions on these Sonys. May look at picking one of these up.
I’m saving for upgrading to Sony, thanks for the video bro
After the Sony A7iii 2.0 update I’ve had focusing issues with my Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART. Thanks for the video, I have the Sony 85mm 1.8 and I absolutely love it. The Sigma 105 looks amazing but the weight is a dealbreaker. Great video, thanks again.

Love your videos, Jason. Just got my Sony fe 85mm f1.8 and love the lens.
I was really thinking about possibly getting this lens, but you make a good case for the 85mm focal length ... I think I’d go with 85 GM.
Great video! I've been trying to decide what lenses I should get for my A7Riii for a little while now. It's hard figuring out if I should spend the extra money on a GM or go sigma since I really want that 1.4... Your reviews are definitely helping me make more educated decisions! Thank you! Wouldn't mind that tshirt and beanie either 😂

I got a 16 mm Sigma f1.4 as a gift from my wife, damn it’s a great lens. Thanks for sharing all these informations about the Sony camera’s and lenses.
Sweet results but size, af and price combo doesn’t quite line up.
Dope video bruh! 🔥👌🏽💯
Need to upgrade to full frame! Want those butter shots. 🤤
My favorite lens for portraits, I have used it for the past two years on my A9 with amazing results.
I don't know if I'd get this lens for myself, but definitely would rent it for some project.
Nice review Jason, Sigma Art for Sony....i'm looking closely at them, they're on my radar for sure, but not sure I need the 105 at this point. 35 1.4 and 85 1.4 possibly, not that this is a bad lens, it looks great.

Great review. I will use my Zeiss 85 F1.8 instead of the Sigma
Very helpful . I was thinking about getting the 105 for wedding events. However you mentioned the autofocus is slightly off in 1.4 . I also like the comparison and I think I will go with the 85 for now and maybe 105 for Christmas
Great review Jason! I really like the way you present your honest opinions. These Sigma Art lenses are always beautifully sharp but at the same time their unnecessarily large. I’m holding out hope for Sony to release a 135mm f/1.8 GM soon, I’d gladly sell my 70-200 f/2.8 GM to get that glass.
I'm getting this lens as my first ever Art lens.
Great test. I love my Sony 85mm f/1.8. So sharp and such a bargain. I wish I could find a use for one of the Sigma Art lenses. They are super sharp and are priced well but they are just so darn big.

What is up hybrid shooters! A “friend” I know is getting his first Sigma piece of glass for Christmas. 16 mm F1.4 so that I have a wider option for video and photos. That “friend” could really use a t-shirt to go with it.
Great information, I would love to try it.
Thats a massive lens! During your shoot did you ever regret not packing something like an 85mm since this lens is very tight? Great portraits Jason!

I need that lens!! Great video bro!
still saving up to upgrade my a5100 to a 6000 series alpha, loveing your centent. very informative ;)
thats one absolute unit of a lens
Thanks, Jason. I was ready to pick this up, but I’m glad I waited. Bummer about that video af.
I've been waiting for this from Manny so thanks for bringing Christmas Early. With it looking so close to the 85 1.8 and much lighter... I'm questioning if it's worth it.. 🤔

Thanks Jason for another great video. Currently have the 85mm f/1.8, amazing lens for the price. I am debating between the Sigma 105mm and 135mm for my next tele lens. After playing with them at my local camera store, I think I like the 135mm better. By the way, I am from Edmonton, Canada. I can put the Sony Alpha beanie to good use! Lol
That lens is massive. I would love to see the sigma 135mm f1.8 review from you.

Dang that is a huge lens! The shirt looks cool.

Nice work Jason.
Jeez that thing is massive! I use the Sony 18 to 105. I wish it had a better aperture but it's pretty versatile. Lately I've been using the Sigma 16 though.
I wonder why it has a focus problem at 1.4 and 1.8 and not above these.
The Sigma art lenses are amazing, but they are built with image quality in mind at the sacrifice of form factor. I’d be interested in seeing if they bring their zooms to the E Mount

MC-11 is usually on sale this time of year. Now that Sigma has the L mount it's possible that some lenses will be kept for that mount only (so perhaps the zooms may not be available in E mount without MC-11.)
Great review and had tons of laughs too!
This is exactly the same lens as used for the Nikon mount, am I correct in thinking sigma just fitted an adapter ring to adjust for the flange distance? And can you take this adapter off and use it on a Nikon as it appears you can from pictures
Killer review! Definitely a beast of a bokeh machine, but I feel like the Sigmas always seem to have a few kinks they need to work out in terms of the AF like you mentioned. Not an end-all, but definitely inconvenient at times.
I love this lens. Just the live view in the back screen is amazing. It’s heavy but I’m goi g to get I. The habit of getting a ton of portraits with it and separate myself from the pack
When I do move up to full frame, I will be getting Sigma primes. Hopefully they have their autofocus figured out for the 105
Hey Jason I totally agree with you the 85 mm is much more versatile for a photo enthusiast like me. Thanks for the review though quite informative and entertaining as usual . Looking forward to meeting you in a future Sony Alpha meet up.
Hi their Jason great video loving the blog reviews you sure do a good job & make them Fun , Fun , Fun Wow that Sigma Art lens is a beast 🤓 📸
great lens review
There is so much glass out front, I would be afraid of dinking it for sure. Thanks for comparing the 135mm with the 85mm, now I know I can be happy with my 70-200GM and 85 batis really no need - saving me money!
I can’t wait till I get the Sony 85mm. Would love that 105, but that is a big lens!
