Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF Mount

The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF Mount is the ideal choice for photographers who want to capture stunning, razor-sharp images with beautiful bokeh and superior image quality. With a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4, this lens allows you to shoot in low light conditions without sacrificing detail or clarity. The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures silent, powerful autofocusing, and the optimized placement of special low dispersion glass elements counteracts chromatic aberration for clean, accurate colours.

Additionally, this lens has an advanced dust- and splash-proof construction that protects it from the elements and provides greater durability during outdoor shoots. For serious photographers seeking high-quality performance in a compact package, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF Mount is an ideal choice.

Features:

As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.

This short telephoto 85mm f/1.4 prime lens is designed for full-frame format Canon EF-mount cameras, and can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 136mm equivalent focal length.

Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

Two SLD elements, one element with a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction, and one aspherical element have been incorporated within the lens design to correct for chromatic aberrations throughout the entire focusing range and help to ensure high image sharpness, clarity, and contrast regardless of focus point or aperture setting. This optical design also helps to control distortion and limit vignetting.

A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.

The integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) realizes quick and quiet autofocusing, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.

A rounded nine-blade diaphragm helps to produce an attractive out-of-focus quality.

The lens is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, along with traditional metals, for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations.

The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability.

This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
