Aimed at portrait photographers \u2013 and due out in November \u2013 key features include a 14-elements-in-12-groups build, including two elements made of SLD glass.<\/p>\n
\u2018Elements made of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and an optimized power distribution help minimise axial chromatic aberration,’ Sigma explains.<\/p>\n
‘In the areas in front of and behind the point of focus, the optical system produces an attractive and natural bokeh effect by producing a smooth gradation of focus and minimising streaking.\u2019<\/p>\n

\nSIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM
\nPeak 85mm F1.4 performance. Introducing the ultimate lens for
\nportraits and more.
\n1. A design that prioritizes optical performance\u2014without compromise.
\n2. Featuring all of SIGMA\u2019s latest technologies.
\n3. Other features
\nLaunch : TBD
\nAccessories: Case, Petal-Type Hood (LH927-02)
\nCorresponding AF mounts: SIGMA, Canon and Nikon<\/p>\n
\nPeak 85mm F1.4 optical performance that more than satisfies the stringent
\nstandards of the Art line.
\nPortrait photographers demand the attractive bokeh effect that large-diameter lenses offer, as
\nwell as outstanding resolution. Fulfilling the exacting standards of the Art line, the SIGMA 85mm
\nF1.4 DG HSM | Art delivers both of these elements at the highest level. The bokeh effect is so
\nprecise, you can focus on the pupil of the subject\u2019s eye while blurring the eyelashes. Adding to the
\neffect, the area in focus is extremely high-resolution while the bokeh area is very attractive in
\nappearance. The SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art incorporates 14 lens elements in 12 groups, a
\nremarkable structure that helps the lens deliver ultra-high-resolution. This lens is therefore an
\nexcellent match for full-frame DSLRs offering 50-megapixel or higher resolution.<\/p>\n
\n1. A design that prioritizes optical performance\u2014without compromise.
\n\u25cf Outstanding resolving power and minimized chromatic aberrations help
\nmake this the ultimate lens for portraits.
\nTo create a top-performing 85mm F1.4 lens, SIGMA leveraged its latest innovations in
\ndesign and materials. The result is the ultimate lens for portraits. By taking chromatic
\naberrations to the absolute minimum, this lens offers performance that goes beyond,
\nincluding incredibly sharp resolution and a beautiful bokeh effect.
\n\u25cf Image quality perfect for ultra-high-megapixel digital cameras
\nUltra-high-megapixel full-frame DSLRs offering 50-megapixel or higher resolution are now
\navailable, and nothing will bring out the performance potential of these cameras better
\nthan the fundamental performance of the lens. The SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art
\nincorporates two elements made of SLD (Special Low Dispersion Glass) and one element
\nwith a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction. These
\nfeatures help ensure a clear image throughout the plane. The optical system also minimizes
\nsagittal coma flare for outstanding image quality without streaking\u2015even at wide-open
\naperture.
\n\u25cf SIGMA\u2019s fifth large-diameter F1.4 lens for full-frame sensors.
\nAmong its new product lines, this is the fifth large-diameter F1.4 lens SIGMA has
\nintroduced for cameras with full-frame sensors. SIGMA is the only lens manufacturer that
\ncovers 20-85mm at F1.4 brightness in its lineup. This latest lens reflects our experience
\nwith this specification and insistence on offering only the best.
\n\u25cf The beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-diameter lens can offer
\nElements made of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and an optimized power distribution
\nhelp minimize axial chromatic aberration. In the areas in front of and behind the point of
\nfocus, the optical system produces an attractive and natural bokeh effect by producing a
\nsmooth gradation of focus and minimizing streaking.
\n2. An all-new lens that leverages SIGMA\u2019s latest design technologies.
\n\u25cf Newly designed HSM for nimble AF control
\nThe newly designed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) offers 1.3 times the torque of its predecessor.
\nEven at low speeds, it offers exceptionally stable performance, and the updated AF
\nalgorithm helps ensure nimble autofocus performance. In addition, full-time manual focus
\noverride allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus
\nring\u2014even during continuous AF. The user can quickly find the perfect focus without
\nneeding to touch the focus mode switch.
\n3. Other features
\n\u25cf Compatible with Mount Converter MC-11
\nMount Converter MC-11 allows you to use your SIGMA SA mount and SIGMA EOS mount
\n(Canon-compatible) interchangeable lenses with the Sony E-mount camera body. Owners
\nof multiple camera systems can get even more out of their valuable lens assets, while Sony
\nE-mount camera owners can enjoy the world of large-diameter mid-telephoto photography.
\n\u25cf SIGMA USB DOCK makes customization and flexible adjustment
\npossible.
\n\u25cf Applicable for the Mount Conversion Service that enables lenses to be
\nlong term assets
\n\u25cf Incorporating Rounded Diaphragm
\n\u25cf Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
\n\u25cf Brass made bayonet mount
\n\u25cf Water and oil-repellent coating ensures a pleasant photography
\nexperience
\n\u25cf Nikon electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism included
