Redefine the classic
1. Fully show the optical performance of Art 85mm F1.4 new generation  
2. Lightweight and small lens body that subverts the common sense of Fa1.4 large aperture a circle
3. Practical function keys and fine workmanship
Describtion:
 
Open a new chapter in the mirrorless era Art 1.4
 
  Large aperture, high image quality, lightweight and compact, high-speed focusing-all in control.
 
  85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art achieves both the "detail description ability" and the "dream blur" brought by the F1.4 large aperture, which meets the optical performance required by professional photographers and photographers in portrait photography . With the 85mm focal length and F1.4 large aperture, you can use the depth of field blur in portrait photography to cut the subject out of the background and enjoy the fun of photography.
 
  While supporting the indispensable high-speed AF focusing, the mirrorless special design realizes a lightweight and compact lens body that subverts previous common sense. At the same time, the miniaturized compact lens body is equipped with a dust-proof and splash-proof structure, as well as practical function keys and fine workmanship.
 
It is a "professional portrait lens" developed for the mirrorless era, and it is also a "85mm F1.4 lens suitable for daily shooting" that achieves miniaturization and high mobility. Sigma hopes to use this lens to further broaden the shooting possibilities.
 
Main Features:
 
  1. Fully show the optical performance of Art 85mm F1.4 new generation
 
  When it comes to portrait lenses, the 85mm F1.4 specification comes to mind. This lens comes from the Art series lens, which is the pinnacle of optical performance. It combines advanced optical design technology with the production technology of SIGMA's only factory-Aizu factory in Japan to achieve the detailed expression required for portrait photography, satisfying professional photographers and photography hobbies The high demands of the people.
 
  Luxurious materials, using 5 SLD low-dispersion lenses, 1 aspherical lens, and newly developed high refractive index lenses. Various dispersions that cannot be corrected by the camera's lens compensation function are compensated by optical lenses. Specially focus on compensation for axial chromatic aberration, and you can get a sharp and clean picture from the full F1.4 aperture.
 
  With high resolution from the center to the edge, and then the F1.4 large aperture brings a dreamy blur, the eyes will naturally fall on the subject separated from the background. In addition, through repeated simulations and trial works, it has a perfect ghost suppression design, which can provide a clean and high-resolution picture even in a backlit environment.
 
  You can use the F1.4 large aperture to shoot without worrying about the picture quality. With the easy-to-operate aperture ring, you can quickly adjust the required depth of field and put it into the shooting creation at any time.
 
 
 
  2. Lightweight and compact lens body that subverts the common sense of F1.4 large aperture
 
  85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art weight 630 grams, filter diameter 77mm, length 94.1mm※. It is a brand new lens structure specially designed for mirrorless cameras, and thus achieves a win-win situation of "large aperture and high image quality" and "lightweight and compact", which was difficult to achieve in the past.
 
  The focusing system adopts a stepping focus motor optimized for phase focusing and contrast focusing, and supports mirrorless camera functions such as face/eye AF. Thanks to the small-aperture focusing lens group developed in conjunction with a stepping motor, it is possible to miniaturize the lens. In addition, actively cooperate with the camera lens compensation function, and the lens design is optimized only for the aberrations that must be corrected by the optical design, which also contributes to the miniaturization of the lens.
 
  Because of the lightweight and small lens body, the 85mm F1.4 lens will be used for daily purposes such as capturing, subverting previous common sense and broadening the possibilities of shooting.
 
  ※Based on the value of the L mount version.
3. Practical function keys and fine workmanship
 
  The miniaturized compact lens body is equipped with practical function buttons and fine workmanship to meet the operating needs of professional photographers and photography enthusiasts.
 
  The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is equipped with a brand new "aperture ring lock button". It can prevent the aperture ring from being accidentally touched during shooting, allowing the photographer to concentrate on shooting creation. In addition, it also has an "AF/MF focus mode switch key" and a customizable "AFL focus lock key*".
 
  Dust-proof and splash-proof structure, using aluminum parts and TSC heat-resistant composite parts, presenting high-level workmanship in line with Art series products. And not only for durability, but also for the operation feel of each button and swivel, pursuing the operation experience that can be happily shot in various environments.
