Pros:
Image quality out of this thing is beautiful. Bokeh rendering is stunning. So creamy. This lens is sharp wide open. Looks great.
Flaring/ghosting is super well controlled for an 85 1.4 lens. It's definitely a step up from the older sigma art 85 1.4 in just about every way.
I love that they are including aperture rings on their newer lens, and they're implementation is really pro.
Cons:
While lighter than the OG Sigma 85 1.4, this lens is definitely still heavier than the new GM 85 1.4 II. You will notice it.
Now the biggest con to this lens, and it is still barely a con for most photographers and videographers, is going to be the AF speed. Don't get it twisted, this lens focus' really well in most situations. It's only when you have fast moving subjects or a subject wearing glasses where you start to see the difference between this lens and modern first party Sony lens'. Based on my experience, I would say this lens actually probably focuses about on par, or maybe a little bit better than the original Sony 85 1.4 GM, but is noticeably slower than the Sony 85 1.4 GM II.
If you are shooting portraits, landscapes, still life, or lifestyle then you'll never notice these limitations. But once you start trying to shoot athletics, sports, kids running around, you will start to notice your hit rate drop a bit.
In Summary:
Technically the Sony 85 1.4 GM II has superior image quality. In reality, you will not notice the difference ever. This lens is very sharp, and actually performs better than the original GM lens that was incredibly popular for years.
Unless you are planning to shoot sports with your 85mm... which I've done, but there are better lenses for that specific job even if the new G Master is capable of keeping up... then I can totally recommend this Sigma Art lens.
I've included a few sample images I took when this lens first came in.

This Sigma 85MM does and did not disappoint. You will get the bang for your buck with this lense, the images it produces are amazing! If you’re running and gunning it's auto focus system is pretty fast and sharp, being paired up with a Sony makes it even better. This lens has upgraded my production quality and value. Adding this to my inventory was definitely a good investment and decision. You won't be disappointed with it's performance! This Glass is really good!

This lens is so sharp and crisp, and for the value its unbeatable. Sigma continues to produce world class glass.
I am super impressed with the low light performance. At f/1.4, I can take this out during the dark and get great shots still. The f/1.4 aperture also gives you that creamy, buttery background bokeh that we all love.
Finally, the focal length. This is pretty subjective, but I find 85mm to be the perfect focal length for portrait photography. It gives you just the right amount of background compression while still allowing you to step back a few steps and getting the entire individual, giving your pictures a super professional look.
If you are looking for the ultimate portrait lens for your full frame Sony camera, look no further!

This lens excels as a portrait lens. Sharp, responsive with perfect bokeh.

This is a great portrait lens and the wide aperture allows a ton of light and shallow depth of field. Stopped down you still get a great image even on high resolution sensors like the A7RV's.

Reviewed in Germany on September 25, 2023
Das Sigma 85mm F1,4 DG DN Art Objektiv bietet eine herausragende Bildqualität, die durch die hochwertige optische Formel gewährleistet wird. Die Kombination aus SLD- und asphärischen Linsen minimiert Aberrationen und sorgt für gestochen scharfe Bilder.
Bokeh und Blendenöffnung
Mit einer Blendenöffnung von F1,4 und einer Membrane mit 11 Lamellen erzeugt dieses Objektiv ein wunderschönes, weiches Bokeh, das ideal für Portraits ist und den Hintergrund angenehm verschwimmen lässt.
Vielseitigkeit
Obwohl es primär als Portrait-Objektiv konzipiert ist, eignet sich das Sigma 85mm F1,4 DG DN Art auch hervorragend für Reise-, Straßen- und Produktfotografie, was es zu einem vielseitigen Werkzeug für Fotografen macht.
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis
Angesichts der Qualität, Leistung und Vielseitigkeit des Objektivs ist der Preis mehr als gerechtfertigt. Es ist schwer, ein vergleichbares Objektiv in dieser Preisklasse zu finden.
Fazit
Das Sigma 85mm F1,4 DG DN Art für Sony-E Objektivbajonett ist ein Muss für jeden Fotografen, der nach einem hochwertigen, vielseitigen und preiswerten Objektiv sucht. Es bietet alles, was man sich von einem Portrait-Objektiv wünschen kann, und noch viel mehr. Ein echter Gewinner in jeder Hinsicht!
