This in-depth analysis evaluates far-field lens performance from f/1.4 through f/9 in mountain shade (dusk). Best possible wide-open performance is shown unequivocally since peak focus can be viewed where it cuts through the grass, thus also allowing an evaluation of field curvature.
Stopped-down performance from f/2 through f/9 provides insight into the peak resolving power capabilities of the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art as well as how much real depth of field gains with stopping down. It also speaks to focus shift.

I like shooting the Sigma 105/1.4 a lot, but hiking with it is less pleasant!
