Portraits / Bokeh at Open Aperture


Sigma Art 50/1.4 @ F1.4 slightly cropped to a viewing angle of a 55mm lens (click on image fo full resolution)


Zeiss FE 1.8/55 @ F1.8 (click on image for other resolutions)

A comparable view taken earlier with the Leica Summilux-M on Leica M 240:

As you can see from the examples above, all lenses are able to deliver a smooth and silky bokeh and excellent sharpness already from open aperture. When you peep at pixel level you may determine some slight but easily correctible CA in the samples from the Sigma and the Zeiss. On the Sony A7R the Leica Summilux does not provide the level of sharpness outside the center compared to the other lenses due some astigmatism and it suffers from some field curvature. In these daylight examples I like the bokeh of the Leica Summilux and the Otus most but the Zeiss FE and the Sigma come pretty close.
