    Manny, great video as usual.
    Just a minor comment.. The 11 aperture blades do not "produce" smooth bokeh. The main purpose of the 11 blades is to MAINTAIN circular bokeh highlights when the lens is stopped down. Wide open, the bokeh highlights should be circular, whether the lens has 11, 9, 7 or whatever number of aperture blades. The lemon shape bokeh is due to mechanical vignetting. The 85mm GM has lower mechanical vignetting, that's why it renders rounder bokeh balls.
    Cheers!

      I shoot fashion and beauty and I'm by no means a super professional, big name photographer but I have been using a 24-70 and 70-200 for about 2 years now and I've started to move to primes. I use my 55mm 1.4 Zeiss for probably 70% of my compositions, my 24mm GM for those rare occasions where I need to compose wide and I just recently started looking at 85, 100 and 135 lenses to replace my 70-200 but I've quickly found out that since my main lens is a 55mm, the 85mm focal length doesn't really offer anything special compared to the 55mm and I'm not really getting that much closer with it either so for me it was a fight between either the 105mm Sigma or the 135mm GM!
      I have just decided I will order the 135mm GM because I really don't like how Sigma makes things in the image look... It's hard to explain, it's like I would focus on the model but then everything around the model would be one dimensional and flat, like you couldn't tell how far stuff was from each other, like for example, if you had two cars one behind another, they would literally just look like you glued two car stickers on top of each other, whereas when I tried the 135mm GM, it would make everything look 3D, just like my 55mm Zeiss Otus does and I LOVE THAT kind of look because it reminds me of those old film and cinema lenses! Plus it looks more realistic because it's not just a flat image and for fashion and beauty shots that's SUUUPER useful and makes the model stand out from the environment even at f8, f11 or f16!
      And the 135mm focal length is MUCH BETTER for head, head n shoulder, waist up, close up and detail beauty shots, since I use 55mm for basically everything else!

  • @MrSUKH
    @MrSUKH 5 лет назад +10

    If I have to choose one lens from these and the price is gonna be almost similar.
    I will go for Sony 85 G master, because it will be lot more versatile indoors because of shorter focal length.
    And f1.4 will work pretty fine in low light.

    Hey Manny, love your videos. I recently had an issue with Sigma. I am a professional photographer and had their 12-24 ART lens for about 13 months when I noticed the front element was loose. I sent it to Sigma to be repaired. It took them about 2 and 1/2 weeks to get it back to me. They were very non-responsive to the fact that I was a professional and could not be without this lens! Also, since it was past warranty (2 months) and they said it was dropped (it wasn't), they made no allowances. Since I am a canon shooter and most of my other lenses are canon and I have CPS, they have equipment back to me within 3 days! Does Sony have something similar in terms of taking care of their pro shooters?

    I think you did a great job on the analysis - I think you're right about the price points and the reasons why the Sony is a perfect match for...Sony. As for the football shaped bokeh balls - can you tell us if this is a factor of just...physics or is this something that eventually lens manufacturers will be able to fix? What I mean is - do bokeh balls just naturally get that shape when they are off to the edges or is there something in the manufacture that contributes to this?

    I believe we will soon see a new 85mm f1.4 GMaster Mark ii with the quad XD motor system. The speed and reduced focusing noise will really put it above the competition. I love my 85 f1.4, but low light focusing can be a tad frustrating.

  • @WeildtheTrident
    @WeildtheTrident 3 года назад

    So I thought about getting this lens, but since I have my 85mm 1.4, on the a7riv I can select apsc/35 crop mode and it will basically give me the 135mm focal length with still acceptable resolution. Is this practical to use an 85 on a portrait shoot and use the internal crop for zoom (with enough resolution for a clear picture)? Or would it be worth investing in the lens?

    • @pcphotography9108
      @pcphotography9108 2 года назад

      I believe so. Same can be said tho if you did have a 135mm 1.8, crop mode into 200mm-ish. So to cover 85, i’ve considered get the 50mm 1.2 and crop that when you need the 85.
      24mm f1.4 (35mm cropped)
      50mm f1.2 (75mm cropped)
      135mm f1.8 (200mm cropped)

  • @drzak0o1
    @drzak0o1 5 лет назад

    Thanks for the comparison with the 85, it's great to see the difference. Now, considering the weight difference is 180g, while not negligible, strictly speaking not a deal breaker - if going strictly about image quality - where, if at all, it has leg up on the sigma 135 ? I did view both of your videos and there doesn't seem to be a significant difference, but i might have missed something. Now, considering AF, how much worse would you consider sigmas af to be?

    @youknowwho9247 2 года назад +2

    Don't think one of them can replace the other. I'd use them both for their different ranges. With my current Nikon setup I'm switching between my 35, 85/105 and 70-200 during weddings, depending on the situation. If I switch over to Sony, which I probably will eventually, I think the 35, 85 and 135 GM will be the trio I'll carry. No need for a 70-200 when there's access to such a stellar 135. If I need the 200mm range, APS-C crop mode on the prime will probably be as good as the physical 200 on the zoom.

    I don't know why press tech stresses so much on those aperture blades.
    If you shoot wide open they should be perfectly stowed away and will not influence the bokeh.
    The light shape is just a factor of the front element cutting on out of focus zones
