SIGMA AF 85MM F/1.2 DG (A) - L Mount

Description

A Full-Frame Large-Aperture Medium Telephoto Lens Combining Exceptional Image Quality with Unprecedented Mobility
The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG | Art is a large-aperture medium telephoto lens designed for full-frame cameras. It combines exceptional image quality with a compact and lightweight design.
With its 85mm focal length, widely recognised as a reference for portrait photography, this lens features Sigma's brightest aperture ever offered at F1.2, while maintaining remarkable portability.

Exceptional Resolution and Beautiful Bokeh to Fully Exploit the F1.2 Aperture
Outstanding Resolving Power
Thanks to the integration of two SLD glass elements and high-dispersion glass, axial chromatic aberration, which is inherent to large-aperture lenses, is minimised.
Aspherical lenses also precisely correct spherical aberrations and sagittal coma. The lens therefore delivers exceptional resolving power from the maximum aperture, fully revealing the expressive potential of an F1.2 aperture.
Every detail of facial expressions, textures and materials is reproduced with remarkable precision, enhancing the quality of both photographs and video.

Beautiful Bokeh that Puts the Subject in Focus
The combination of the F1.2 maximum aperture and 85mm medium telephoto focal length produces an extremely shallow depth of field and rich, harmonious bokeh.
The 13-blade diaphragm maintains an almost circular shape in out-of-focus areas, even when the aperture is stopped down.
The natural bokeh rendering, which minimises colour fringing and double-line effects, makes the subject stand out dramatically and gives both portraits and video a striking sense of depth and immersion.

Designed to Minimise Flare and Ghosting
Flare and ghosting, which can degrade image quality, are controlled under all lighting conditions through advanced optical simulation technologies.
This excellent backlight performance ensures sharp, contrast-rich and clearly defined images, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Exceptional Mobility that Redefines the Standards of an 85mm F1.2
The Most Compact and Lightweight in its Class for an 85mm F1.2
Thanks to an optimised arrangement of aspherical lenses within the focusing groups, the number of elements required for the focusing system has been significantly reduced.
Despite incorporating a complex floating mechanism, a highly precise mechanical design reduced to its essentials has made it possible to achieve the smallest size and lightest weight in its class for an 85mm F1.2 lens, weighing just 905g for the L-Mount version.
This provides remarkable comfort during long shooting sessions as well as in situations requiring high mobility, significantly improving the agility of photographers and videographers in the field.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus with Dual HLA Motors
The fast and quiet autofocus provided by the dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motors delivers reliable tracking performance for both still photography and video.
Even with the extremely shallow depth of field provided by the F1.2 maximum aperture, the lens locks focus precisely on the subject, enabling smooth and controlled shooting in a wide range of situations.

A Complete Range of Features and Professional-Grade Build Quality
Stable Framing During Focusing
The optimised arrangement of the focusing groups and the shape of the aspherical lenses help minimise changes in the angle of view during focusing.
The lens therefore provides smooth and natural transitions during video recording for a more professional result.

Extensive Shooting Assistance Features
The lens is equipped with two AFL buttons, whose functions can be customised through the menus of compatible cameras.
In addition to its aperture ring, it features an aperture ring lock switch and a switch that allows the aperture ring clicks to be turned on or off.

Dust- and Splash-Resistant Construction with Water- and Oil-Repellent Coating
In addition to its dust- and splash-resistant construction, the front element features a water- and oil-repellent coating that helps repel water and grease.
This protection provides added confidence when shooting outdoors, including in challenging conditions.

The F1.2 Range is Now Complete: Wide-Angle, Standard and Medium Telephoto
With the addition of this new lens, the Sigma Art F1.2 series now consists of three models, alongside the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art and 50mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.
