Superb sharpness and very few optical aberrations, Dreamy bokeh, Superbly built
Rather hefty
It may not be lens that most enthusiast photographers are likely to buy, but it would certainly be worth hiring for a special occasion. For portrait photography in particular, the Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art is very special indeed...
Abstract: The SIGMA 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is an extremely capable performer. The sharpness is better at its maximum aperture of F1.8 than its competitors are when stopped down. There is simply no reason to not use this lens wide open. SIGMA has managed to make th...

Very sharp, even at f/1.8, Beautiful bokeh, Fast, accurate autofocus, Weather-sealed mount, Three-position focus limiter
Big, heavy, No image stabilization
Yes, especially if the 135mm focal length fills a gap in your lens collection. This is a fantastic lens and a great value at $1,399, despite being more expensive than its most direct competition. However, if you're looking for a first portrait prime, we m...
Abstract: When I heard that Sony had announced a 135mm f/1.8 G Master lens last winter, I knew that I would have to see how it compared with the excellent Sigma 135mm f/1.8 ART series lens that was announced in Sony E-mount the previous winter. The Sony lens immed...
Razor sharp, Wide aperture, No distortion, Minimal falloff, Dust- and splash-proof design, Focus limiter switch, Available for Canon, Nikon, and Sigma systems
Quite heavy, Expensive, Omits optical stabilization, May require focus adjustment
The Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM Art is a lens that portrait photographers will adore: It blurs backgrounds with aplomb and is one of the sharpest we've ever tested...
Excellent image quality, great value, weathersealed build
Some vignetting and pincushion distortion, no image stabilization, PRICE: $1,399
Both Canon and Nikon offer 135mm prime lenses in their portfolio, but both are f/2 and slower than Sigma's, and neither are weather-sealed. That said, Canon's lens is less expensive—though Nikon's has about the same price tag.We asked Patiño a familiar qu...

Solid and stylish casing, Brilliant image quality in the frame centre, Sensational image quality on the edge of APSC sensor, Sensational image quality on the edge of full frame, Lack of spherical aberration problems, Practically zero lateral chromatic abe
Noticeable vignetting at the maximum relative aperture and on full frame, A tad too high longitudinal chromatic aberration, The cult Canon EF 135 mm f2L USM in the frame centre was able to reach 43.2 lpmm at most. The Sigma A 135 mm f/1.8 DG HSM reached 4

Unique combination of f1.8 focal ratio and 135mm length, Excellent sharpness and contrast across full-frame sensor even wide open, Only little longitudinal CA, Fast AF
High price, Large and heavy, No image stabilization, Resistance against flare/glare/ghosting could be better
The Sigma 135mm f1.8 Art is a bright mid-length telephoto lens available in mounts for Canon, Nikon and Sigma DSLRs with full-frame sensors and can also be used with Sony E-Mount bodies using Sigma's MC-11 mount converter. I think this lens is Sigma's bes...
