Lensrentals on Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art MTF charts - thxbb12 - 04-18-2017 Better than any other 135mm on the market today and much better than the old (but venerable) Canon 135 f2: https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2017/04/sigma-135mm-f1-8-art-mtf-charts-and-a-look-behind-the-curtain/ Impressive. Lensrentals on Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art MTF charts - JJ_SO - 04-18-2017 To be fair, the Canon is pretty old in design and didn't compare too bad, given it's affordable price. I found the Apo-Sonnar the more expensive "disappointment", if whining around at this level would be a thing to do. Lensrentals on Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art MTF charts - obican - 04-18-2017 I'll take the Canon, thanks. Much cheaper, MUCH smaller and lighter, much better resale value if needed.

At $1400 vs $1000 the Sigma is 30% more expensive. Considering it's just been released, its larger aperture and the much better IQ, I think a 30% premium is well justified. Lensrentals on Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art MTF charts - obican - 04-18-2017 When I look at the Sigma, I don't really see a larger aperture. I see it being much heavier and much less practical. Also, Canon can be had on the used market for much cheaper than that. Lensrentals on Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art MTF charts - JJ_SO - 04-19-2017 Sometimes we confuse me. By starting multiple threads for the same item ("rumors about lens Y" " Y has arrived in the lab" "first samples of Y" "test results of Y"), so for this thread here I just quote myself so I'm sure to agree.

At least a bit Ah, indeed Joju, I had forgotten about that thread. It would have made more sense if I had posted my original message there!
