Sigma 85 mm F/1.4 DG DN Art Sony E

Description

A classic portrait-length lens updated for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless systems, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN lens is an Art-series prime lens characterized by its updated, advanced optical design, sleek profile, and bright design. The f/1.4 maximum aperture enables working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over depth of field for achieving striking shallow depth of field effects. The optical design incorporates a series of high refractive index, aspherical, and low dispersion elements, and its large-diameter design achieves a remarkable degree of clarity and sharpness with well-controlled distortions and aberrations. Additionally, a Super Multi-Layer Coating enhances image quality by suppressing lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity in strong lighting conditions.

Balancing the optics is a refined exterior design, featuring a physical aperture ring, which can be removed or locked, along with a dedicated focus mode switch and AFL button for intuitive, tactile control. For autofocus, a stepping motor is used, maintaining a lightweight and compact design while promoting fast, near-silent focusing performance for video and still photography applications. Additionally, the lens features a rounded 11-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality, and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in harsh conditions.
