It’s mainly a portrait lens. But here most of the sample pictures are of landscape. I expect some sample portrait pictures with great bokeh.

Corner cats eye bokeh are caused by vignetting. More vignetting, causes more cats eye bokeh. Also the reason it goes away as one stops down from brighter to dimmer appertures.

Thanks for the great review and all your hard work… I’ve got this lens and I have to say, every time I use it, it amazes me in its rendition, especially at the price point.. A must have for the Z system.

Great review.
Since I use the lens (like almost all other Z lenses) very often for landscape photography, I would like the tests for this to be carried out in more detail.
Otherwise very good job.

I think Sigma Art 85 is a terrific lens, but it was not designed for Z system. IMHO it is the best lens at present and will go with any pro D camera. But, for Z, Nikkor is clearly better.

Thanks for such a solid review again! Just wondering if you ever had a chance to compare with the Sigma 85 art? This comparison comes up in lots of discussion boards but I could not find an online comparison.

Very good review. I believe I have the two best 1.8 primes available; the 50 and 85 1.8S. The 85 is an incredible lens…well worth its cost. When you compare its performance to lenses that are twice or three times the 85’s cost, and it not only holds its own, but in some cases, superior, you know its a good value.

Great review! Curious to know whether those landscape images from Death Valley are all single shots or are some of them panorama as well ?

I just wanted to mention – some of the photos you took during this test are so crazy good I’m just blown away.

Hey Nasim great review! I liked the comparison between the 105 to 85 however I’m curious, which rendering do you like better since the sharpness, honestly, is more than enough on both lenses. Does one have better characteristics over the other? Thanke!!
