Optically this lens is great. It's very sharp, has good color rendition, and things like vignetting and chromatic abberation are very well controlled. YouTube videos will do a better job of giving details about the optics. The quirks come in with the handling. It is a fairly compact lens but feels heavier than it looks because of the all metal build. While interesting that it has an aperture ring, without a lock it can be easy to click it over from auto to f22. The reason for this (at least on my S5) is that turning the aperture ring and twisting the lens on to the camera are both done with a clockwise motion. This means that while I am putting the lens on the camera, it is quite easy to accidentally turn the ring. Final thing is the focal length. 65mm is an odd in ... MoreOptically this lens is great.

Final thing is the focal length. 65mm is an odd in between focal length and it will be down to personal preference if you like this or not. For me I love shooting at 50mm and I think I would prefer to shoot closer to that focal length but at the time this is the only affordable prime option for L-mount (except for the 45mm f2.8 but I'm not sure why anyone would want a f2.8 prime lens). Last thing I will comment on is the focusing. This lens focuses quickly but I have noticed that my Lumix 16-35 f4 focuses much faster. For that reason I look forward to when Panasonic releases their 50mm f1.8, but for now this lens will do fine.

I was using the Sony 55mm lens and though it is a great lens and very sharp, it is becoming a little bit dated. I actually prefer the Sigma lens more. True the Sony is a faster lens, but for my uses, the f2 on the sigma works just fine. Plus, I love how compact it is. My small traveling kit is now the Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens, the Sigma 65mm and the Sigma 90mm. Very small and excellent quality. Use them on my Sony a 7riii.

I originally bought this lens to pair with my Sigma fp but now mostly use it on my Lumix S1 and S1R. Works great on all my L mount camera bodies. Built like a tank, looks great (gotta love that metal hood and magnetic cap), and it's pretty sharp even wide open. I mostly use the Sigma 85 1.4 for portraits but whenever I'm in a tight spot or want to incorporate more of the background into the shot I reach for the 65.
So far I'm really liking this lens . I've just shot some landscape and nature photos with it and some of the wife around the house. I got it for live music photography and videography mainly. I haven't had a chance to shoot that with it so far .But for landscape and nature "wow" . Love the colors and sharpness. It took a couple hours for shooting landscape with it and learning framing, composition with 65mm . Once I started getting a feel for it I was really liking it .The images off this lens are hands down beautiful. I'd read reviews that it was sterile in its rendering because it was so perfect. Not true at al . It is very perfect but has a beautiful rendering that just happens to be perfection.It for environmental portraiture at 65mm is nice . There is ... MoreSo far I'm really liking this lens . I've just shot some landscape and nature photos with it and some of the wife around the house.

There is subject isolation but with enough surrounding to tell a story . An 85 can do that but it's like the best of both a 50 and an 85 . Very normal looking almost to a fault and this is where some folks will create that sterile type image . So be creative with your composition and work to tell that story .Peace and don't get one of these lenses. I want the originality of the guy shooting the 65 .
This lens is incredible! I purchased the L-Mount version and I'm using it on the original SL (Typ 601).Everyone always wants to know if the lens is sharp. Answer: A resounding yes! But there is a lot more to a lens than sharpness alone. What about the character? Most modern lenses have almost no character, however, after buying this lens and also trying the 90mm f2.8 and the 35mm f2, I find that they all draw similarly and offer the same look and feel to the images. And yes, there is a feeling. It's very creamy and dreamy wide open yet with a pinpoint sharpness that is never harsh. The best way to describe the look is cinematic. Highly recommended!If you are considering this lens and have never owned a Sigma product (I haven't owned a Sigma lens since the mid ... MoreThis lens is incredible!

Highly recommended!If you are considering this lens and have never owned a Sigma product (I haven't owned a Sigma lens since the mid '80s), please do yourself a favor and spend an hour on Sigma's website to learn not only about this I-Series of Contemporary lenses but about the philosophy behind them as well. And also about the build quality and engineering and design. Finally, look into the company. They are not a typical company but are very different and very special.
65mm f2? Who uses something with those specifications? What use could you have with this lens? What kind of situation does it benefit? The answers to these questions are easy and surprising. This focal length combined with the f2 aperture allows for great subject separation, bokeh and yet it is still wide enough that other details are not lost to depth of field. I could easily say this lens helps to tell a great story because 65mm is wide enough to show what is going on in a photo, yet highlight what is important at the same time. I like it more than the classic 50mm because of the subject separation. I find it more practical than an 85mm because it doesn't feel as limiting in my hands. The build quality is fantastic and the size is just about right on my Panasonic ... More65mm f2? Who uses something with those specifications? What use could you have with this lens?

The build quality is fantastic and the size is just about right on my Panasonic s1. It really feels natural when I'm using it on a photo shoot. If you want to do portrait photography and don't want to spend a large amount of money, then this lens is absolutely made for you. If you do a bit of journalistic photography, then this lens should be in your bag. The image quality and performance of this lens is by far the best of all the i-series lenses. I love what I am able to capture with this all metal 65mm beauty. I don't really have any complaints about this lens for photography. It is simply wonderful. I also do video work as well and this is where the 65mm shows a weakness. It really needs a de-clickable aperture and faster speeds than f2 to produce what I would like from this focal length. The Panasonic 50mm would be a better choice, but at a very significant price difference. Overall this lens is fantastic for anyone who loves photography and I would highly recommend it. Video quality is also top notch, but physical limitations hinder the ease of use. This lens is by far one of the best lenses on the market. It shouldn't be overlooked because of the odd focal length and lower price point.PS Sigma! Please make a 135mm f2.0 or 2.8 I series lens!
I'll preface this review by saying I bought this lens to use on my Leica CL, so I can't comment on its full frame performance. That said, the performance with the CL is outstanding. The image quality is in the same league as my Leica APO Vario-Elmar 56-135mm, which costs three times as much. This lens is much better built than other Sigma Contemporary lenses I've seen and it functions flawlessly. I appreciate the simple, but effective control layout. Let's hope this signals a new trend for the Contemporary series.
I'm impressed. A lightweight 65mm lens with remarkable sharpness and ease of use. 65mm is the street photography lens of the pandemic, allowing you to get close without getting close. This is a very workable focal length. I have found 90mm and 75mm too limiting, given that I usually shoot with a 35mm lens. Sigma is producing some excellent lenses for the Leica SL and L mount cameras. I think that this lens plus the 35mm Leica SL would make an excellent urban travel kit. Recommended. I have attached some walking around the neighborhood photos that illustrate its quality.
I'm shooting this on a Leica SL2 and am totally delighted with it. I've always used an 85mm for portraits and this 65mm has now replaced that focal length. And, shooting wide open at f2 is no compromise. I now have two of these Sigma Contemporary lenses for my SL2, this 65mm and the 45mm. I also use them on my Leica CL. I'm just as happy with the rendering on that camera.
