Product Description
A classic portrait-length lens updated for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless
systems, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN is an Art-series prime characterized by its
advanced and updated optical design, sleek profile, and bright design. The f/1.4
maximum aperture enables working in low-light conditions and also provides
increased control over depth of field for achieving shallow depth of field
effects. The optical layout incorporates a series of low dispersion, aspherical,
and high refractive index elements and its large diameter design achieves a
notable degree of clarity and sharpness with well-controlled distortion and
aberrations. Also, 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, which features a physical
aperture ring, which can be de-clicked or locked, along with a dedicated focus
mode switch and AFL button for intuitive and tactile control. For autofocus, a
stepping motor is used that maintains a lightweight and compact design while
promoting fast and near-silent focusing performance for both stills and video
applications. Additionally, the lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for
smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working
in inclement conditions.
