It's all relative. The Sigma 105mm Art with tripod foot permanently attached and the adapter, that's a heavy lens at 1800ish grams. The RF 85mm f/1.2 isn't really heavy. It's expensive, but heavy? Just 1200is or so. It's not even a walk around focal length anyway. For a 50mm less weight is far more important. Or an f/2.8 (which is pretty heavy in the RF version...)
To be honest, I don't get all the complaining about weight. Get an A7IV + Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DN if you don't like weight and accept cats eye shapes up to f/4 or so. If you want f/1.2 and stellar IQ you can have it, but you can't beat physics at some point, so carry it, grow up, stop complaining.
LMFAO! It’s my review and the only negative thing I needed to point out for people considering this lens is how wide it is and how difficult it has been to fit into camera bags. We’re talking professional roller bags, backpacks, and messenger bags from Tenba and ThinkTank. This lens does not fit normally in any bag I own. What’s the point of a review if I’m only going to point out how positive something is? In actuality, I don’t live on the internet. I’m a working professional who spends 2-3 weeks a month on the road working as a photographer traveling the country. The only negative thing I could find about this lens is it’s size and weight which have absolutely impacted how I travel and pack my camera bags. It most certainly will impact anyone else looking to buy this lens. Otherwise, it’s optically perfect and a phenomenal performer- as I stated. If you don’t find this helpful, carry on and grow up.
I'm wondering sometimes how much help should be needed. Width, weight and price are easy to google. Shouldn't be too much effort before spending the price of this lens imo.
Yet somehow you found your comment helpful? Interesting.
