Is f/1.4 worth it over an f/1.8 135mm?

It buys roughly two-thirds of a stop more light and noticeably shallower depth of field than an f/1.8 lens. That matters most indoors and for maximum background blur. If you usually shoot at f/2.8 or narrower, the gain is small.

How does it compare with the Sigma 135mm F1.8 Art?

The F1.4 is the newer, wider-aperture design with more light gathering and blur, but it is bigger and heavier than the F1.8. Both are Art-series primes built for sharpness; the F1.8 is the easier lens to carry.

Does it work on Sony full-frame bodies?

Yes. It is a Sony E-mount lens and covers full-frame sensors, and it also fits APS-C E-mount bodies, where it behaves like a roughly 200mm lens.

Does it have image stabilization?

No. It relies on the camera body's in-body stabilization, so pair it with a stabilized Sony body for handheld work.

Expect the lens, front and rear caps, a lens hood and a case, as is standard for Sigma Art lenses. Check the listing for the exact bundle.

Is it good for video?

The fast aperture helps in low light, but the weight makes gimbal and handheld work demanding. A tripod or support rig suits it better.
