Dave, honestly, on some shots I can't tell which lens I used. I am under the impression that the bokeh of the Sigma was a tad more smooth, more creamy, but there's a situation I used the Nikkor 85 S with object in certain distance (maybe 2-3 meters away) and behind there was a background with leaves and stuff in 6-8 meters (I don't measure, it's just guessing). With f/2 I was expecting the background to gently flow together - but everything stayed noticeably and a bit disturbing.
On some front light shots it's a bit weird if I need highlight recovery. Like this one here:
I already suspected I took a double exposure because of the transition zones - but I don't think I did. I find it interesting as picture, but not my ideal of a smooth bokeh. What do you think?
