Over the years, the Art line F1.4 has evolved, and now it's ready to redefine the mirrorless age with the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens for Sony E. This lens is a perfect blend of large-diameter, unparalleled optical performance, compactness, lightweight, and high-speed autofocus, all designed to fit in the palm of your hand. This lens is specifically designed for portrait photography, offering a clear and delicate rendering performance coupled with beautiful, rich bokeh effects. These effects are made possible by the large-diameter F1.4, satisfying both professional photographers and advanced amateurs. The 85mm focal length and significant bokeh effect at F1.4 brightness allow your subjects to stand out, enhancing the essence of portrait photography.The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens is a mirrorless-exclusive design, boasting a lightweight and compact body that defies convention. Despite its small size, it's packed with a range of functionalities, including a dust- and splash-proof structure, supported by an excellent build quality. This lens is SIGMA's new "ultimate portrait lens" for the mirrorless age, offering unprecedented portability, free from size- or weight-related limitations. The high performance of this lens is synonymous with the 85mm F1.4 | Art, a specification almost synonymous with a portrait lens. SIGMA has devoted the latest optical design technologies and production technologies of the Aizu factory, SIGMA's only production site, to the development of these lenses. The result is a detailed image critical for portrait photography that is achieved at a level that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens incorporates the latest high refractive index glass, which works to thoroughly correct aberrations that cannot be handled by the correction functionality on the camera side. With a particular emphasis given to the correction of axial chromatic aberration, users will enjoy sharp images with no color bleeding, all the way up to the maximum aperture of F1.4. The high resolving power that covers the entire image from the center to the edges ensures sharpness of the area in focus, and coupled with the significant bokeh effect produced by the F-value of 1.4 brings out the users' subject in an evocative way. The lens also minimizes ghosting, ensuring clear, sharp images even when shooting in backlit conditions. With the ability to shoot from the maximum aperture of F1.4 without worrying about image quality, users can focus on the camera operations to realize their artistic expressions, such as the adjustment of exposure and depth of field. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens weighs 630g/ 22.2oz., with a filter size of 77mm and a body length of 94.1mm/ 3.7in.. Designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras, it has a "large lens diameter and superb optical performance" and "a lightweight and compact body," a combination which has long been difficult to achieve. The AF motor system employs a stepping motor which is optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF. This provides a smooth shooting experience only possible with a mirrorless camera, such as face/eye detection AF, and it has also made the lens body itself much smaller, as the focus lens has been made small to better suit a stepping motor.
f/1.4-16 aperture range for versatile shooting.
Five SLD elements for sharp, clear images.
