How we test
Every piece of equipment that comes our way, whether a camera, a lens or an accessory, gets the same level of careful scrutiny. We discover what products are good at and what they are not so you don’t have to. Tests are not just made in the lab, but our technical findings are also investigated in practical situations to establish what readers can expect in real-world conditions.
Meet some of our experts
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Review
Half the price of the Nikon equivalent, but this optic proves that it can still hold its own

The price tag might not suit everyone's budget, but this optic's performance is hard to argue with

Far cheaper than Canon's f/1.2 equivalent, but still a mighty good performer for a more than reasonable price

With plenty of functionality delivered at a reasonable price, what's not to like about this Nikon optic?

Excellent ergonomics and a fast f/2 aperture makes this a serious third-party macro option

Supported by a three-stop Image Stabilisation system and UD elements, this lens is capable of impressive results
