Well ... obviously this is a quite personal matter of taste ...

 

To #1 ... I don't think, the sample images in the linked page are enough to

judge this leses bokeh .... and personally I also don's see so far it is any

better than a Canon 85/1.8.

 

To #2 ... well how near is "good enough"? ... photography is about the

exact millimeter of focal length for some of us ... for others it is not.

 

To #3 ... If you compare the Canon 85/1.2 @ 1.4 and the Sigma 85/1.4 @ 1.4

you would expect a very similar bokeh ... but (whereever it comes from) ...

the bokeh of the Canon is significantly smoother. So, the comparsion of pure

number might just not be good enough.

 

Ok ... thats all to this topic from my side ... I'm out ... Rainer

The Canon EF 85mm f1.2 L USM (II) does not have particularly smooth bokeh. The odd thing is, that it has way more blur than the Sigma. The Sigma 85mm f1.4 is way closer to the Canon EF 85mm f1.8 USM blur wise, than the Sigma figure (f1.4) would suggest.
