Find unparalleled excellence in portrait photography with the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN ART Lens for Leica L, a masterful blend of high-quality optics and innovative design tailored for the discerning professional and advanced amateur photographer. This medium telephoto lens, part of the esteemed Sigma Art series, is engineered to deliver crystal-clear images with a level of detail that truly stands out, even in challenging low-light conditions.
The lens's wide f/1.4 aperture not only facilitates shooting in dim environments but also provides a significant bokeh effect, allowing your subjects to pop against a smoothly blurred background, a quintessential feature for impactful portrait imagery. The optical construction of the lens, featuring five SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements and one aspherical lens, coupled with the latest high refractive index glass, ensures comprehensive correction of aberrations, including axial chromatic aberration. This meticulous design results in sharp, color-bleed-free images at every aperture setting, from the center to the edges of the frame.
Sigma's commitment to quality is evident in the rigorous ray-trace simulation and real-world testing that the 85mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art has undergone, effectively minimizing ghosting and ensuring clarity even when shooting against the light. The lens's high resolving power accentuates the focus area with precision, while the beautiful bokeh effect adds an evocative dimension to your portraits.
Designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras, this lens redefines the perception of an f/1.4 lens, marrying a large lens diameter with a remarkably lightweight and compact form factor. Weighing just 630g/22.2oz and measuring 94.1mm/3.7in in length, it defies the conventional limitations of size and weight, making it an ideal choice for everyday use. The stepping motor AF system is optimized for both phase detection and contrast AF, ensuring smooth and responsive autofocus performance, including face/eye detection AF.
The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art lens is not only about optical performance but also about user experience. The introduction of an Iris ring lock switch prevents accidental changes to aperture settings, while the Focus Mode Switch and AFL button enhance operational convenience. The dust- and splash-proof construction, combined with the use of premium materials like aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), reflects the Art line's commitment to build quality. Every tactile interaction, from the motion of each ring to the click of each switch, has been refined for a satisfying user experience.
