Is the sigma 135mm f 1 4 dg art worth it?

Yes, if you want tight portraits with soft backgrounds and you have room to stand back. The Sigma 135mm f/1.4 DG Art is the first autofocus 135mm f/1.4, and f/1.4 gives you plenty of blur. My portrait guide explains why longer lenses flatter faces, and this one suits headshots outdoors.

It fits full-frame bodies such as the Sony a7 III, and on APS-C it works too, like the Sony a6400, where it frames like about 202mm. On a crop body, though, it gets long fast, so check the focal length guide first.

If you shoot in tight rooms or mostly want general portraits, an 85mm is more practical. Full-frame or not, the sensor guide is worth a look before you commit.
