This lens slots into the company&#8217;s\u00a0lineup above the Sigma 85mm f\/1.4 DG HSM Art lens that was released at Photokina 2016. You can download and view a selection of high resolution sample images taken with the\u00a0Sigma\u00a0135mm f\/1.8 DG HSM Art coupled to our Canon EOS 5DS R by visiting\u00a0our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/apmagazine\/albums\/72157678965478591\">Amateur Photographer Flickr page<\/a>. The gallery on this page offers product views of the lens and our full-size samples\u00a0are available to view by visiting our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/apmagazine\/albums\/72157678965478591\">Sigma\u00a0135mm f\/1.8 DG HSM Art sample image gallery.<\/a><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-101444\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1O3A0069-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>With all other primes of this focal length on the market being quite old designs, Sigma has turned to its new 85mm f\/1.4 DG HSM Art as the benchmark for optical performance. It&#8217;s a lens that&#8217;s designed\u00a0to appeal to those who regularly shoot portrait or live stage work. It&#8217;s a little shorter than the 85mm f\/1.4 DG HSM Art but has a similar thickset barrel. It\u2019s solidly made and differentiates itself from other Art-series primes by implementing a focus limit switch that gives users control of how far the focusing element moves.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-101448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1O3A0077-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>With the focusing glass inside the lens being heavier than other lenses Sigma produces, it relies on a\u00a0new, faster Hyper-Sonic motor (HSM), which provides 1.3x more torque. The combination of midrange telephoto focal length and wide maximum aperture delivered a sensational shallow depth of field to images in the short amount of time I spent using it in Kamakura &#8211; a city in Kanagawa Prefecture,\u00a0Japan, about 30 miles\u00a0south-south-west of Tokyo.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-101447\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/1O3A0076-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/>\n<p>Although we&#8217;re yet to be informed of the pricing and availability of the lens, we expect it to cost\u00a0around the same price as the Sigma\u00a085mm f\/1.4 DG HSM Art (\u00a31,199).<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-101450\"

latest lens releases that also includes the Sigma\u00a014mm f\/1.8 DG HSM Art, Sigma\u00a024-70mm f\/2.8 DG HSM OS Art and Sigma 100-400mm f\/5-6.3 DG HSM OS Contemporary. \u00a0You can find out more
