Questions & Answers

wade h : how long to ship to Australia?
DAVID D : Which is better, Canon 1.2 or Sigma Art 1.4?KENNY N : The Sigma focus much faster, little CA, quieterBrien A : Nevver used the canon but i love my sigma great quality for the price. Since then i have purchased another sigma lens and i think it is better than canonJONATHAN S : It depends what you're using it for. The lens beat the Zeiss Otus 85mm in many aspects. The Canon lens in inadequate for video because its a focus by wire mechanism and has no friction based continuity.jimmy m : Having owned both the Sigma is faster and sharper. Only problem is that Sigma glass isn't 100% tack sharp out of the box. There is a dock that can help, but for me its very complicated. You can also send it in and they will try to correct those issues.
Shopper : Does this lens have image stabilization? I never use tripod.RAY Z : No it does not.JONATHAN S : read the descriptionJAMES B : No stabilization at all. Be forewarned this is a big piece of glass as well! :)jimmy m : No image stabilization. You don't need one if taking portraits thought.RON H : No it doesn't

Big Glass delivering the goods!!!!

This lens caused me to divorce my Nikon AF 85mm f/1.4d lens after many faithful years of service. Connected to my D810, D800, or Z7 this lens outperforms the Nikon in every category of measurement. Given that the Nikon is more than 30 years old and has been superseded by several newer Nikon models I will still need you to pry this Sigma out of my cold dead fingers. The first time out I was volunteering some time for Habitat for Humanity at one of their home dedication events. I had to look a couple of time at the images because they were so crisp, saturated, and the colors rendered so well that I was surprised. Within a couple of days of turning the images over to HFH, I got a call from the Executive Director begging for the rights to some of the images for use in some of their marketing materials. I own six (6) Art line lens and none of them have ever turned in a bad performance. I have also had the pleasure of working with the Service Department and i must say that they a speedy, professional, and extremely pleasant to work with. My equipment was turned in a matter of days and great communications. Highly recommended.

Best lens ever

The purchase of this lens is after a thorough review & features with other similar lenses. This was the best lens available in the market with this kind of price. I have to rush to get it before the $150 discount disappears. I also consult my co-worker who is a professional photographer regarding this lens.

Heavy but Fast and Crisp!

It's a big beast of a lens but the image quality is top notch even when it is wide open. Looking up the weight of this lens, I was surprised to find it's actually on par with many other similar wide aperture 85mm lenses - and somehow lighter than the Canon RF 85mm! The focus is fast and razor sharp.

Great portrait lens, really great

I need a good portrait lens and all the review said this is the one. I got to say It's really sharp. It's my workhorse for headshots. I love shooting with this lens at 2.0 or 2.8 aperture. Go ahead and check out the reviews on YouTube. If you're thinking about getting this lens and you're not sure about it, just get it. It is a great lens

GREAT LENS!

Bought this lens used from Adorama (E Condition). First off let me start off by saying it was in great condition, packaged very well, and arrived safely n securely. Second of all the lens is a tank!!!! Heavy as can be, maybe the weight of a wine bottle when attached to my Cannon R6. Holy smokes this lens is sharp. I am in love with it. I never write reviews, but I had to let everyone know how amazing this glass is. BUY IT.

Beautiful bokeh and lovely focal length; Sigma image clarity and autofocus accuracy is amazing

GORGEOUS lens! It's a beautiful focal length and has the excellent quality I've come to expect from the Sigma Art series. My 50mm stays on my camera almost always; the only lens that challenges it is this one!

Good lens with Purple fringing

Really good lens, little bit of purple fringes in high contrast edges, but everything else is awesome. Little bit heavier than new Canon 85mm 1.4L IS lens, but less price, and no IS, definitely worth it lens

85mm- go to portrait lens- FAST

Love this lens and the only think I do not like about the kit is the cleaning kit that comes with it- the lens wipes are like wet construction paper. But it was free with the lens- so no Biggy just don't use the wipes on the actual lens or any glass.

Sigma 85mm f1.4 prime lens. One of the best 85mm f1.4 primes made at any price. High quality materials at every point.

This is one of Sigma's best. It is rather heavy but that was known by me from many other professional product reviews. The auto focus is fast and accurate. The Boca is smooth fine. This is a very sharp lens. All of the Sigma "Art" lenses are sharp but this is one of the best. This is my 4th Sigma art lens they are all good and this one is near the best.

Sigma Art is next level

I'm slowly upgrading my camera equipment. I started with this lens after much research. I was surprised that it was heavier than I expected but not too heavy for practical use. It has sleek look and cane with its own hood and carry case. I was impressed with that. I took it out for its first maternity shoot and seriously I'm in love lol. I had so many more photos looking clean, beautiful bokeh, and check this, less blurry. I have my old knock off lens and it struggled with clear photos (it could be my error) but using my same technique I had more clear portraits than when I used my old lens. I can't wait to upgrade my camera base too. Im definitely a fan of the sigma art. They made a believer out of me. I know this purchase will bring my photography to the next level. The only draw back was the ordering process for me. When I placed my order online the site wouldn't recognize my address so I had to get creative. Other than that I am very pleased.

Beautiful lens not only in the build quality but the images it produces! It would be an extra star or even two if it had image stability, and maybe a little lighter weight in my opinion.

About Sigma 85mm F/1.4 ART

PRO REVIEW by Meg Loeks, Fine Art and Lifestyle Photographer

"My go-to lens outdoors. I'm able to capture dreamy bokeh without having to stand far back from my subject. Out of all my telephoto lenses, this is my preferred choice because it's fast and sharp."

Just when you thought your photography couldn't get any more striking, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART Lens for Canon EF emerges as a game-changer in the realm of professional imaging. This high-quality, medium telephoto prime lens is a jewel in the crown of Sigma's esteemed Global Vision series, engineered to elevate your artistry to new heights.

As a masterpiece of the Global Vision Series, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 ART lens is synonymous with excellence in optical engineering. Its design is optimized for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, yet it remains versatile with APS-C models, offering an extended reach of 136mm. This lens is a testament to Sigma's commitment to innovation and professional-grade craftsmanship.

The impressive f/1.4 maximum aperture is not just a feature; it's a gateway to mastering low-light photography. It empowers photographers with the ability to create images with a shallow depth of field, accentuating focus on the subject while smoothly blurring the background, a technique cherished in portrait and artistic photography.

At the heart of this lens lies an advanced optical structure that pushes the boundaries of image resolution. Comprising 14 elements in 12 groups, including two SLD elements, a high anomalous partial dispersion element, a high refraction element, and an aspherical element, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens is a reliable tool for combating chromatic aberrations. The result is images that burst with sharpness, clarity, and contrast, regardless of the focus point or aperture setting.

Say goodbye to flares and ghosting, thanks to the Super Multi-Layer Coating that ensures your images are rich in contrast and maintain true-to-life colors, even in backlit situations. The integration of the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) brings quick, quiet, and efficient autofocusing to your fingertips, with a manual focus override available for those who demand even more precision.

The lens's rounded nine-blade diaphragm is a boon for bokeh enthusiasts, enabling the creation of exceptionally smooth and aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas that make your subjects pop with a three-dimensional feel.

Durability and precision are at the forefront of the lens's robust construction. The use of Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, in harmony with traditional metals, ensures that the lens operates with unwavering accuracy across various temperatures. The brass bayonet mount reinforces its durability and ensures a secure connection to your camera.

For photographers who love to fine-tune their gear, the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock. This allows for customization of lens characteristics and firmware updates, keeping your lens performance at the cutting edge.

Capture the world with unparalleled detail and artistry. The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 ART lens is not just a tool; it's a portal to redefining your photographic journey, ensuring that every shot you take is a step towards perfection.

  • Image quality perfect for ultra-high-megapixel digital cameras: The SIGMA 85mm F1.4 DG HSM / Art incorporates two elements made of SLD (Special Low Dispersion Glass) and one element with a high rate of anomalous partial dispersion and a high index of refraction. These features help ensure a clear image throughout the plane
  • SIGMA's fifth large-diameter F1.4 lens for full-frame sensors.
  • The beautiful bokeh effect that only a large-diameter lens can offer: Elements made of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and an optimized power distribution help minimize axial chromatic aberration. In the areas in front of and behind the point of focus, the optical system produces an attractive and natural bokeh effect
  • Newly designed HSM for nimble AF control: The newly designed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) offers 1.3 times the torque of its predecessor. Even at low speeds, it offers exceptionally stable performance, and the updated AF algorithm helps ensure nimble autofocus performance.
  • Compatible with Mount Converter MC-11: Mount Converter MC-11 allows you to use your SIGMA SA mount and SIGMA EOS mount (Canon-compatible) interchangeable lenses with the Sony E-mount camera body. Owners of multiple camera systems can get even more out of their valuable lens assets,
  • New material TSC (Thermally Stable Composite): To ensure precise operation, internal parts feature generous use of metal and Thermally Stable Composite (TSC),* which is highly compatible with metal parts.
