Description
Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and tremendous expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic quality.
The record-high performance worthy of the name of 85mm F1.4 | Art
85mm F1.4 is a specification almost synonymous with a portrait lens. With the Art line lenses, Sigma pursues the highest optical performance possible and has devoted the latest optical design technologies, as well as the production technologies of the Aizu factory, Sigma's only production site, to the development of these lenses. The result is a detailed image critical for portrait photography that is achieved at a level that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers.
In addition to five SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements and one aspherical lens, the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has incorporated the latest high refractive index glass, which works to thoroughly correct aberrations that cannot be handled by the correction functionality on the camera side. With a particular emphasis given to the correction of axial chromatic aberration, users will enjoy sharp images with no color bleeding, all the way up to the maximum aperture of F1.4.
The high resolving power that covers the entire image from the center to the edges ensures sharpness of the area in focus, and coupled with the significant bokeh effect produced by the F-value of 1.4 brings out the users' subject in an evocative way.
The numerous rounds of ray-trace simulation, as well as repeated real-world testing, have given the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art its ability to minimize ghosting, ensuring clear, sharp images even when shooting in backlit conditions.
With the ability to shoot from the maximum aperture of F1.4 without worrying about image quality, users can focus on the camera operations to realize their artistic expressions, such as the adjustment of exposure and depth of field. This new lens indeed delivers a level of optical performance truly worthy of the name of 85mm F1.4 Art.
DUST AND SPLASH-RESISTANT STRUCTURE
A highly-effective dust and splash resistant structure is built into the lens barrel, with special sealing at the mount connection, focus ring, and other lens controls.
HIGH-PRECISION, RUGGED BRASS BAYONET MOUNT
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
SUPER-FAST F1.4 MAXIMUM APERTURE
The maximum aperture of F1.4 provides outstanding low-light performance, and creates beautiful background blur to separate subjects from the environment.
Lightweight & compact - A new perception of F1.4
The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art weighs 630g / 22.2oz., with a filter size of 77mm and a body length of 94.1mm/ 3.7in.*. Designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras, it has a "large lens diameter and superb optical performance" and "a lightweight and compact body," a combination which has long been difficult to achieve.
The AF motor system employs a stepping motor which is optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF. Not only does this provide a smooth shooting experience only possible with a mirrorless camera, such as face/eye detection AF, but it has also made the lens body itself much smaller, as the focus lens has been made small to better suit a stepping motor. Furthermore, by making the most of the in-camera aberration correction functionalities, Sigma was able to concentrate on the correction of aberration that could be handled by the optical system alone, which further contributed to making the lens smaller in size.
With such a lightweight and small body, users can now take out a large-diameter 85mm F1.4 lens for an everyday use such as taking snapshots. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art invites users to enjoy photography in an unconventional way.
MANUAL APERTURE RING
A manual control ring allows the user to change aperture via the lens for a more direct, tactile approach.
CLICK / DE-CLICK SWITCH
A click / de-click switch allows the user to select their preference for aperture control, with either smooth transitions or marked click stops.

We do not sell Grey Market Products
What is Grey Market?
Products that are imported and sold by anyone other than USA Authorized dealers are considered Grey Market products. These are often genuine products that were intended for other countries; therefore, they may not meet the manufacturer's specifications for US products or perform as expected, and they are not covered by a USA manufacture warranty or eligible for a USA repair service.
What are the differences as far as a customer is concerned?
In most cases, the main difference between a "USA" and a "Grey Market," or imported product is the cost of the item and the terms of the item’s warranty coverage. The products themselves are otherwise identical. As a rule, "Grey Market" items typically cost less than their USA counterparts. "Grey market" products never qualify for manufacturer's rebate programs and can not be price matched. If you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-333-4280.
