The Sigma FE 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is surely a super portrait lens (with distortion correction for pincushion distortion), but how good is it for landscape photography?
This series evaluate medium-far distance performance from f/1.4 through f/11.

The about $1199 Sigma FE 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art offers outstanding performance. My personal preference in optical terms is the somewhat unwieldy Sigma FE 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, but the 85/1.4 is far easier to carry and handle.
