Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art DG DN vs Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 - TIME TO DITCH MY SONY GLASS?

In this video I test the brand new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art DG DN against the tried and tested Sony FE 85mm f/1.8. The Sony 85mm f/1.8 is a super popular choice for portrait photographers who use Sony mirrorless cameras, like the A7III, as it's relatively cheap, lightweight and offers good image quality. However, as the new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art was crowned the champion in our definitive 85mm f/1.4 lens group test (   • SIGMA 85mm f/1.4 ART vs SONY 85mm f/1...  ), it begs the question - is it worth upgrading from the Sony to the Sigma?
