- There is no 85mm f1.8 with AF which renders that smoothly
- 40 x 1.5 = 60mm, 40 x 1.6 = 64mm. One can't get a similar FOV with 50mm or 85mm lenses, not on FF or on APS-C.
- f0.85 x 1.5 = f1.28, 0.85 x 1.6 = f1.36. There are no other 60mm or 64 lenses which will offer such shallow DOF even on FF. Well, of course there is the Nikkot 58mm f1.4 which comes a little close, but that is as expensive a lens, and without any reason. And it is not very sharp.
Well ... obviously this is a quite personal matter of taste ...
To #1 ... I don't think, the sample images in the linked page are enough to
judge this leses bokeh .... and personally I also don's see so far it is any
better than a Canon 85/1.8.
To #2 ... well how near is "good enough"? ... photography is about the
exact millimeter of focal length for some of us ... for others it is not.
To #3 ... If you compare the Canon 85/1.2 @ 1.4 and the Sigma 85/1.4 @ 1.4
you would expect a very similar bokeh ... but (whereever it comes from) ...
the bokeh of the Canon is significantly smoother. So, the comparsion of pure
number might just not be good enough.
Ok ... thats all to this topic from my side ... I'm out ... Rainer
