Sigma looked
to create a peak portrait prime with the 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens,
and they delivered an optic with high performance, a large f/1.4 aperture, and
a variety of technologies. Available here with a Canon EF mount, this lens
offers a super-fast f/1.4 aperture that is great for getting images with an
exceptionally shallow depth of field and smooth bokeh. It also uses two FLD
elements and one anomalous partial dispersion/high-refractive index element
that minimize aberrations and ensures a crisp, clear image. A Super Multi-Layer
coating helps by suppressing flare and ghosting.
For operation, a Hyper Sonic AF motor provides fast,
accurate focusing and a large focusing ring permits manual focus override for
making fine adjustments. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm also helps create round,
smooth bokeh. It is made from a thermally-stable composite material that is
light and durable and it has a brass bayonet mount. Additionally, it is fully
compatible with Sigma's USB Dock.
·
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 and one element with a high rate of
anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction 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 color-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.
