these are shots from my 105mm f1.4 sigma art lens today...
i only had it for an hour.. so the first thing i wanted know .......
was ..how the bokeh compared to my 85mm f1.2 L mk ii
which i already sold..
i tried to see how the background.. looked
how the quality worked
I like to try to have a second subject...if I can...in the background blur...
and also I tried to see if it got too..'busy'....
i figured it already was a sharp lens.... and ...yup...that turned out good..
but the bokeh seemed very nice..... imo
and that is part of what i wanted....to verify
....
any way...it aint art...my shots..i mean........
I am just forcing the background ...in different setups...
to show its ... stuff..
so take it as you find it.. it is not science at this point...
i will do other stuff later..
I would have liked to see a coma test from LensTip...
but I am too early..
- so far - i believe it is as good as my 85L was
so i thought i would share

the hummer feeder is f1.4, f2.8, f 5.6, f8
then second hummer feeder is f1.4, f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6...and f8
I wanted to see people rendered in blur behind a sharp main foreground subject.. you can see that with an f1.4 shot with some trellis stick in fore ground.
at f1.4 background blown out................. then at f8...... with a couple appearing in the background
so I am starting to think this is a reasonable replacement for the 85L mk ii... I sold
and thats what I waited for....
I did try the sig 135 f1.8 ..
it was nice but I believe this bokeh is better...
I will play a bit more before I decide..
I have not seen any tests or other pics posted for this lens..
I must have got an early copy...
UPDATE: lenstip samples here..just posted late...jun 20
want to see coma test ...
