I really want this lens. Unfortunately this lens is a want vs a need at this very moment. I could buy it if I sell my Fuji XT-2 but I really like that camera ;-( The struggle is real I'm telling ya LOL. The good thing about the Sigma lenses are that I can always change the mount should I chose to switch systems and also fine tuning the autofocus with the pucks makes the lenses much more accurate.

About the 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art Lens
The Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art, the “Bokeh Master,” is the ninth lens in the Sigma F1.4 line-up designed for full-frame cameras. To combine outstanding wide-aperture, mid-telephoto performance with F1.4 brightness at maximum aperture, this lens incorporates 17 optical elements in 12 groups, including three FLD glass elements, two SLD glass elements and one aspherical lens element. This optical setup minimizes axial chromatic aberration to deliver ultra high resolution along with ample peripheral light volume, which minimizes vignetting. As a result, the area in focus is extremely sharp, while the out-of-focus area features a beautiful bokeh effect with highly natural colors, making this a desired lens for portrait photography. The optical design also minimizes sagittal coma flare, making it an excellent choice for capturing starry skies.
Featuring the Sports line level dust- and splash-proof design, this lens can be used in varying weather conditions. The high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus helps photographers react in an instant to capture those special moments.
Other lens highlights include carbon fiber reinforced plastic hood for durability and compatibility of the Canon mount lens with the Canon Lens Aberration Correction function.
