Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens review: Outstanding performer

The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art debuted earlier in the year, around May, and is priced at around $1400/£1500. From the DG designation, you can tell that it's a full-frame lens, and it's available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts. It is of course, targeting the superb but pricey Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm F1.4E ED, but would also appeal to Canon users, where a high-speed L-series model in that focal length is strangely absent from the line-up. It may also be possible that it becomes available in the Sony FE mount; it is already suitable for mirrorless cameras. Sigma has recently introduced some Art series in Sony FE mount, which effectively have an 'extended' barrel to accommodate the additional flange-back distance of the missing mirror. Update: According to Sigma, this lens will be available with the Sony FE mount in October.
