Large-diameter, unparalleled optical performance, compact and lightweight, and high-speed AF — all in your hand.

The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art delivers clear and delicate rendering, essential for portrait photography. It also offers beautiful, rich bokeh effects, which only a large-diameter F1.4 lens can provide. This lens meets the needs of both professional and advanced amateur photographers.

The 85mm focal length and significant bokeh at F1.4 make the subject stand out. This is one of the key elements of portrait photography, allowing users to fully embrace the art of capturing portraits.

The lens has fast and consistent autofocus. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art also boasts a lightweight, compact body designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. Despite its small size, it has a dust- and splash-proof structure and superb build quality. This makes the lens reliable in various environments.

The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is SIGMA’s ultimate portrait lens for the mirrorless era. It redefines the “85mm F1.4 lens for everyday use.” It offers unprecedented portability without sacrificing performance.

Record-High Performance Worthy of the Name “85mm F1.4 | Art”

The 85mm F1.4 has long been synonymous with portrait lenses. SIGMA’s Art line lenses focus on achieving the highest optical performance. The company uses the latest optical design technologies. The Aizu factory, SIGMA’s sole production site, ensures high production standards. The result is a lens that delivers the level of detail critical for portrait photography. It meets the needs of both professionals and advanced amateurs.

The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art includes five SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements and one aspherical lens. SIGMA also uses high refractive index glass to correct aberrations that the camera’s correction function can’t handle. The lens corrects axial chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp, color-accurate images even at F1.4.

Its high resolving power ensures sharpness from the center to the edges. The large bokeh effect, created by the F1.4 aperture, brings the subject into the foreground, creating dramatic emphasis.

Through extensive ray-trace simulations and real-world testing, SIGMA minimized ghosting. This ensures that the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art delivers sharp, clear images even in backlit conditions.

The lens allows you to shoot wide open at F1.4 without worrying about image quality. Users can focus on their creative process, adjusting exposure and depth of field to realize their artistic vision. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art offers optical performance worthy of the 85mm F1.4 Art name.

Lightweight & Compact — A New Perception of F1.4

The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art weighs just 630g (22.2oz.), with a filter size of 77mm and a body length of 94.1mm (3.7in). This lens defies expectations for an F1.4 lens. It is designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. The combination of large lens diameter and superb optical performance in a lightweight, compact body was previously difficult to achieve.

The lens features a stepping motor system. This system is optimized for both phase detection and contrast autofocus. It enables smooth shooting experiences, including face and eye detection AF. The focus lens has been made smaller to suit the stepping motor, contributing to the compact size.

By leveraging in-camera aberration correction, SIGMA further reduced the size of the lens.

With such a lightweight and small body, users can easily carry the 85mm F1.4 for everyday photography, such as snapshots. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art invites users to explore photography in a new, more accessible way.
