Exceptional Portrait Rendering with an Ultra-Fast f/1.2 Aperture
The Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art Lens for Sony E-mount combines Sigma’s brightest-ever f/1.2 aperture with the classic 85mm portrait focal length, delivering exceptional subject separation, smooth bokeh and high resolving power. Designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras, this Art-series prime is suited to portraiture, fashion, weddings, editorial photography, commercial work and cinematic video applications.
Unrivaled Low-Light Performance and Subject Isolation:
The most defining feature of this lens is its constant F2 maximum aperture. This allows for exceptional light-gathering capability, enabling you to shoot in dimly lit arenas or at dusk with faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings. The wide aperture also produces an incredibly shallow depth of field, rendering backgrounds into a beautiful, buttery blur and making your subject pop with stunning three-dimensional separation. This lens’s ability to create smooth, circular bokeh is simply breathtaking, making it a favorite for portrait photographers.
Beautiful, Smooth Bokeh
A 13-blade rounded diaphragm helps maintain a near-circular aperture shape as the lens is stopped down, contributing to smooth, natural-looking background blur. Combined with the 85mm focal length and f/1.2 aperture, the lens is designed to produce the distinctive shallow-depth-of-field look associated with premium portrait optics.
High-Resolution Optical Design
The lens uses a sophisticated 17-element, 12-group optical construction, including two SLD elements and three aspherical elements. These elements work to control chromatic and spherical aberrations while maintaining high resolving power across the image. Sigma also uses glass with high anomalous dispersion to help suppress axial chromatic aberration associated with large-aperture designs.
Fast and Smooth Dual HLA Autofocus
Sigma equips the 85mm f/1.2 DG Art with a dual HLA-driven autofocus system. The High-response Linear Actuator system provides fast, accurate and smooth focusing for both still photography and video capture, making the lens suitable for subjects where precise focus is essential.
