I've so far used the following Sigma lenses on my SL Type 601 and been very happy.

1. 14-24 DG DN Art
2. 50/1.4 DG HSM Art
3. 105/2.8 DG DN Art
4. 35/2 DG DN
5. 65/2 DG DN

On the Leica SL I so far haven't used a Sigma lens that I didn't like. I don't own the last two, I borrowed them from friend. I sold the 50/1.4, it was a beautiful performer, but it was massive and heavy. The 14-24 and 105/2.8 are sensational. The 105/2.8 might fit your portrait needs nicely. The 85/1,4 DG DN is also meant to be a superb lens but haven't yet tried it. I hope Sigma will come out with a 50/1.4 DG DN Art, or 50/2 DG DN Contemporary that is more compact. At the moment the only L mount lens that fits that space well is the Panasonic 50/1.8.
