For low light applications, I'm considering getting the Nikon 85mm f/1.4G, however, for the price of the Nikon 85 mm I could get the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 and throw in a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 and have change to spare.
Does anyone have any experience with both the Nikon and Sigma lenses. I have found a few online comparisons but I was wondering if anyone on the forum has any personal experience with both?
I have heard some minor complaints about the Nikon, however, it seems like they are very small nit-picky things from people who expect perfection from a lens that costs as much as this one does. (Although, I may share that expectation.)
I have also heard issues about Sigma quality. Is this something that is perhaps exaggerated by "third party company haters?" I have also heard good things about the Sigma 50mm f/1.4. Does this extend to the 85 mm as well?
Future resale value may also be a consideration. Nikon lenses seem to hold their value relatively well. I know nothing of Sigma.
Thanks in advance for any input.
Thanks, Ralph
