The relatively new Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art grabs first place with a score of 50 and 36 sharpness. The reason for that is that 85 mm lenses generally contain the least amount of optical defects, often making them the sharpest glass around. We are presented with a ranking that shows largely 85 mm lenses. If we broaden our search to included every lens brand, Nikon is completely gone from our top five. Five Highest Rated Lenses for Nikon Full-Frame on DxO Mark as of May 2018 This was shot using the Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Sport near Cinque Torri in the Dolomites.

However, the Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Macro is one of my personal favorites due to its sharpness and fantastic out-of-focus details. The latest Nikon 70-200 is much more versatile and the optical quality is simply great. For portraits in particular. If you're a wedding photographer, however, I wouldn't necessarily pick a prime lens for that. But I do agree on some of the choices here. Lens choices are always a matter of opinion and debate.
