Additional information on both lenses:
→ There are a lot of fake listings/scams on Amazon (in this case: used DL cameras) – make sure you are purchasing from Amazon directly or from a reliable reseller.
→ Capture One ($299) 10.0.2 released with support for the Nikon 1 J5 camera (release notes).
→ Lensrental published their MTF test results for the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens ($1,199): “From an MTF standpoint, it’s better than any other 85 except the Otus, and it makes a very respectable showing against that fine lens” (they tested the Canon version).
→ £200 trade-in offer on the Nikon D810 in the UK.
→ Interesting: Laowa 105mm f/2 STF lens ($699) vs. Nikon 105mm f/1.4E ED lens ($2,196.95).
