Review Summary

I have been a photographer for over 50 years and own over 25 lenses including many of major brands. This lens has the best resolution and color of any I own. I purchased it on a whim but actually the focal length is quite useful and fills in for my 50mm and 85 mm lenses in the studio.

I originally bought this lens to pair with my Sigma fp but now mostly use it on my Lumix S1 and S1R. Works great on all my L mount camera bodies. Built like a tank, looks great (gotta love that metal hood and magnetic cap), and it's pretty sharp even wide open. I mostly use the Sigma 85 1.4 for portraits but whenever I'm in a tight spot or want to incorporate more of the background into the shot I reach for the 65.

I think this is the best portrait lens made for Sony apsc cameras. Equivalent to 90mm on full frame, perfect focal length.

This lens is incredible! I purchased the L-Mount version and I'm using it on the original SL (Typ 601). Everyone always wants to know if the lens is sharp. Answer: A resounding yes! But there is a lot more to a lens than sharpness alone. What about the character? Most modern lenses have almost no character, however, after buying this lens and also trying the 90mm f2.8 and the 35mm f2, I find that they all draw similarly and offer the same look and feel to the images. And yes, there is a feeling. It's very creamy and dreamy wide open yet with a pinpoint sharpness that is never harsh. The best way to describe the look is cinematic. Highly recommended! If you are considering this lens and have never owned a Sigma product (I haven't owned a Sigma lens since the mid '80s), please do yourself a favor and spend an hour on Sigma's website to learn not only about this I-Series of Contemporary lenses but about the philosophy behind them as well. And also about the build quality and engineering and design. Finally, look into the company. They are not a typical company but are very different and very special.

Sigma created a masterpiece with this lens. Small and light weight makes it an excellent choice for street photography. The 65mm focal length makes a great replacement for the 50mm standard lens every day candid portraits. It is very sharp wide open at f2. The bokeh is excellent. The metal construction makes it extremely rugged.

Overwhelm your senses with the exceptional Sigma 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary Lens, a part of the innovative I Series. This compact, short telephoto prime lens is designed to deliver a superior photographic experience for mirrorless camera users. With its high-performance optics, this lens is a perfect addition to the Contemporary lens line-up, offering excellent resolving power in a small, perfectly balanced body for mirrorless systems.
The 65mm lens, long favored by photography enthusiasts and filmmakers, provides a slightly more compressed perspective than standard lenses, opening up a myriad of creative possibilities for both photography and film-making. The ultra-sharp 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary lens captures incredibly fine detail, even at its maximum aperture of F2, and produces large, round bokeh.
Constructed with an all-metal body, a standard feature across all I Series lenses, this lens is designed with meticulous attention to touch and sound during operation, making it a pleasure to use and own. The Sigma I Series offers full-frame-compatible lenses that provide mirrorless users with a new and superior alternative, both in shooting experience and impressive results.
The 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary lens delivers the highest level of optical performance at a maximum aperture of F2, all within a lens body size that complements a mirrorless system. Axial chromatic aberration, a common issue with medium and telephoto lenses, is thoroughly corrected using SLD glass, enabling sharp detail capture. A pair of glass-molded aspherical lenses corrects spherical and comatic aberration, as well as astigmatism, while also contributing to the compact size of the lens.
The 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary lens combines the latest optical design with advanced processing technology, resulting in excellent optical performance and compact size. The beautiful bokeh effect, thanks to the control of spherical aberration, and reduced vignetting effects help curb lemon-shaped or swirly bokeh, giving photographers greater control over the out-of-focus areas of their images. Additionally, the Sigma-standard anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology ensures high-end performance in backlit conditions.
All I Series lenses boast an all-metal construction. The precision-cut aluminum parts not only give the barrel a sleek, stylish finish but also provide superb durability, enhancing the overall quality of the product. Metal materials are also used in internal structures that slide with the operation ring for added robustness. These high-precision components, crafted with Sigma's cutting-edge metalworking technology, are also used in Sigma's cine lens line-up for professional cinematographers, providing an exquisite feel to touch and sound effects, making photographers want to reach for it and play with it over and over again. The cover ring between the focus ring and the aperture ring has hairline processing that is also used for the rear cylinder of the Art line. This covering functions as a finger hold when attaching or detaching the lens.
