The 85 F1.4 compares well with the Sigma ART in real world images.
Real world is key. The Sigma charts brilliantly, but in any kind of harder (real world) light, I found the amount of CA killed edges and made it practically less sharp than other options (Milvus, Otus, but even the Tamron 85 in some settings). It's a killer studio lens, but not a great general purpose 85mm (in my opinion) for many reasons.
For whatever reason my review copy of the 85L IS hasn't arrived yet, which is okay, since I don't have time at the moment to do the review until I wrap up my coverage of several other lenses.
