The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras is a prime portrait lens that combines advanced optical design with a sleek, compact profile. Featuring a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and provides exceptional control over depth of field, perfect for creating striking portraits with a shallow focus effect.
The lens incorporates a sophisticated optical layout, which includes five Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements that significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing. One aspherical element and four high refractive index glass elements work together to control spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring sharpness and accurate rendering across the frame. A Super Multi-Layer Coating is also applied to minimize lens flare and ghosting, improving contrast and color fidelity, even in challenging lighting conditions.
The lens features a physical aperture ring that can be de-clicked for smooth aperture changes, making it ideal for video applications. The integrated stepping motor ensures fast, quiet autofocus for both still photography and video shooting. Additionally, the lens is equipped with an Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button, which can be customized for additional functions, further enhancing its versatility.
With an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 creates pleasing bokeh that enhances the subject’s isolation. The lens is built to withstand tough environments, with weather-sealed construction and a brass bayonet mount that ensures improved mounting accuracy and rigidity. Whether you’re shooting portraits or video, this lens offers outstanding performance and creative flexibility, making it a fantastic addition to any photographer’s toolkit.
