Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art DG DN

The most important landmarks of portrait shooting are high frame detail, soft drawing and spectacular bokeh. All these points of the programme are harmoniously combined in the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art model.

Redesigned optical design

The portrait lens became the successor to the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art prime lens, which was originally developed for DSLRs. The new model has shed half a kilo of extra weight and got a completely redesigned optical design, adapted to the shortened working length of mirrorless systems. From now on, the portrait fix is constructed from 15 elements in 11 groups. The optical formula of the lens includes five SLD-elements with extra low dispersion and one aspherical lens.

11 blade diaphragm

The number of aperture blades in the model has grown to 11. As a result, the lens produces eye-pleasing bokeh with fabulously soft background blur. Adepts of the video genre will like the possibility of clickless aperture. Also, the “carcass” of the model is equipped with an autofocus lock button and a slider to enable manual / automatic focus.

The target audience

For the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art case, a basic level of dust and splash protection is claimed. The front lens of the lens has a diameter of 77 mm — filters of the same caliber easily cling to it. Finally, the model comes with a round hood. The target audience of a fixed lens is enthusiasts and pros in portrait photography. And rest assured that their brainchild Sigma will not disappoint.
