Sigma 85mm f/1.4 FE preorder at BHphoto, Adorama, FocusCamera.

The German Youtube channel Krolop&Gerst made a 45min long comparison between the best 85mm FE lenses. The Sigma holds up very well against the Sony GM:

• Sigma is sharper in the center
• Sony GM has better sharpness in the corner
• Sigma has a lot less CA
• Similar Bokeh performance
• very similar AF performance although the Sony seems to have a slight advantage on eye-af

Just switch on the auto translated subtitles if you don’t understand German:

Gerald Undone is now becoming my personal review guru :)

He published the full Canon EOS-R5 and EOS-R6 review. Let’s start from the good part. They are near perfect cameras for photographers. But many do keep comparing those cameras with the new Sony A7sIII and if you want ot have a reliable video recording tool than the Canon cameras are quiet problematic:

1. Canon still lags behind the Sony sensor tech. The EOS-R5/6 have two stops less dynamic range than the Sony A7sIII
2. Overheating is bad but the real issue is the recovery time which cannot be shortened with any tricks (vent and ice cooling). On the other hand his Sony A7sIII never overheated
3. What I didn’t expect: IBIS has some pretty bad wobbling.

This little Sigma 85mm f/1.4 seems to be real gem: Best 85mm lens in class (says Sigma) super compact, relatively cheap and great autofocus performance:

This is how much smaller it is compared to the ugly previous lens :)

And here it is compared with the Sony GM (courtesy of our reader “lee.arw”):

This is the lens on the Sony:
