Open Box: Used Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN ART Lens for Leica L undefined

Mark a new chapter of the Art line F1.4 in the mirrorless age.Large-diameter, unparalleled optical performance, compact and lightweight, and high-speed AF-all in your hand.The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art combines a clear and delicate rendering performance, which is requisite for portrait photography, with beautiful, rich bokeh effects only possible with lenses such as a large-diameter F1.4, at a level that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers. The focal length of 85mm and significant bokeh effect at F1.4 brightness allow the users' subjects to stand out in a complementary fashion, which is one of the essences of taking portrait photography, so users can enjoy it to the fullest.In addition to the fast and consistent AF response, the mirrorless-exclusive design of the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has realized a lightweight and compact lens body that defies convention. And its small body is packed with a range of functionalities, including a dust- and splash-proof structure, supported by an excellent build quality.The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is SIGMA's new "ultimate portrait lens" for the mirrorless age. And with it, SIGMA proposes a whole new world of possibilities provided by this "85mm F1.4 lens for everyday use," thanks to the unprecedented level of portability, free from size- or weight-related limitations.The record-high performance worthy of the name of 85mm F1.4 | Art85mm F1.4 is a specification almost synonymous with a portrait lens. With the Art line lenses, SIGMA pursues the highest optical performance possible and has devoted the latest optical design technologies, as well as the production technologies of the Aizu factory, SIGMA's only production site, to the development of these lenses. The result is a detailed image critical for portrait photography that is achieved at a level that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers.In addition to five SLD (Special Low Dispersion) elements and one aspherical lens, the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has incorporated the latest high refractive index glass, which works to thoroughly correct aberrations that cannot be handled by the correction functionality on the camera side. With a particular emphasis given to the correction of axial chromatic aberration, users will enjoy sharp images with no color bleeding, all the way up to the maximum aperture of F1.4.The high resolving power that covers the entire image from the center to the edges ensures sharpness of the area in focus, and coupled with the significant bokeh effect produced by the F-value of 1.4 brings out the users' subject in an evocative way.The numerous rounds of ray-trace simulation, as well as repeated real-world testing, have given the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art its ability to minimize ghosting, ensuring clear, sharp images even when shooting in backlit conditions.With the ability to shoot from the maximum aperture of F1.4 without worrying about image quality, users can focus on the camera operations to realize their artistic expressions, such as the adjustment of exposure and depth of field. This new lens indeed delivers a level of optical performance truly worthy of the name of 85mm F1.4 Art.Lightweight & compact - A new perception of F1.4The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art weighs 630g/ 22.2oz., with a filter size of 77mm and a body length of 94.1mm/ 3.7in.. Designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras, it has a "large lens diameter and superb optical performance" and "a lightweight and compact body," a combination which has long been difficult to achieve. The AF motor system employs a stepping motor which is optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF. Not only does this provide a smooth shooting experience only possible with a mirrorless camera, such as face/eye detection AF, but it has also made the lens body itself much smaller, as the focus lens has been made small to better suit a stepping motor.Furthermore, by making the most of the in-camera aberration correction functionalities, SIGMA was able to concentrate on the correction of aberration that could be handled by the optical system alone, which further contributed to making the lens smaller in size.With such a lightweight and small body, users can now take out a large-diameter 85mm F1.4 lens for an everyday use such as taking snapshots. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art invites users to enjoy photography in an unconventional way.A full range of functionalities and an excellent build qualityThis compact lens is packed with a range of functionalities that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has newly introduced an "Iris ring lock switch." This prevents from unintended movement of the iris ring during shooting, allowing users to devote their attention to the creation of their image. The "Focus Mode Switch" on the lens body and the "AFL button" that allows various functions to be assigned from a camera body will also assist users' shooting.In addition to the dust- and splash-proof structure, the lens uses materials such as aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) where they are best suited, achieving a level of build quality that is worthy of the Art line. In addition to the durability of the body, the lens pursues quality in terms of how users "feel" as well, such as the smooth motion in which each ring or switch works, and the precise hand feeling. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art helps ensure users a smooth shooting experience in every condition.

Definitely in love with this lense?? it's my favorite! It has completely changed my photography

AMAZING PRODUCT

After a lot of reading reviews and other information, I decide that the next lens I wanted to purchase would be an 85mm prime lens. I had previously decided that I would only invest in the highest quality lenses, and the choice was down to two, the Sony 85mm GM, or the Sigma 85mm DG DN Art lens. After doing my homework, I opted for the Sigma lens, and I am very pleased with it so far. I have used it for taking portraits, and also pictures of a hummingbird that is nesting in one of our trees. I am looking forward to learning all of the different way this lens can be used to take amazing photos.

A great 85mm prime lens.

An amazing lens for the price, with nice focus, nice bokeh, nice colors

Great lens

LOVE! I was debating between this and the GM for my Sony a7iv and am so glad I went with this option. It gives me the results I want and I haven't had an issue with sharpness. It's light and was a great addition to my 24-70.

Love it

I love this lens. It has brought my Sony A7iii alive. Took it out to a country cabin for the weekend with my kids and grandkids and got some amazing pictures. Now I think I am going to have to invest in a Sigma 35 mm dg DN art lens. absolutely love it.

Sigma 85mm dg DN art lens for Sony- awesome

Absolutely amazing lens. Beutiful image quality, good size and fast autofocus. The reviews are true...this lens is a gem. I used to shoot Nikon and had an 85mm 1.8G which was a great lens but tis lens is on another level entirely. Wide open the sharpness is fantastic and it isn't much larger than my Nikon 1.8G lens. I honestly can't think of one single down side to this lens.

Stunning Lens

Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art Lens hype is REAL  ????
This is your sign! everything you read about this lens is true! It is compact for 1.4 aperture, so light weight, the picture quality is excellent, focus is on point & the bokeh is over and beyond, def the best bang for your buck ?

Hype is real

So much smaller than my Sony G-Master and very sharp.  Feels very nice on my Sony A7IV.

Bought it for night sky panorama, sharp, really sharp.

Paired with my A7IV, it is outstanding. I'm an amateur, and it's produced beautiful portrait shots and sharp video as well. And in terms of size, it feels perfectly balanced. No extra bulk, just tack sharp shots even wide open.

Nothing but beautiful images

Beautiful image quality, smaller and lighter than expected - using on Leica SL2-s.  One star deduction for inconsistent focus at times (increased hunting) even though the accuracy is good, usually happens in lower light and wider aperture but still noticeable versus competition.  Using latest firmware for both camera and lens.  When good light and shooting at mid to high aperture, it is much better but still hunts.  The SL2-s is contrast detect vs phase detect and is normally very fast and accurate (and no PDAF artifacts when converting images to monochrome!).  I also use the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 on R5 and no hunting at all.  Still would highly recommend this lens for size, price and image quality.

Beautiful with one small caveat when used on the Leica SL2-s

Better than 85 GM, So Sony needs to release the 85 F1.2 to top this

Fast focusing and sharp

Super sharp, great build quality, bundle comes with useful tools to keep the lens clean as well as filters that fit the lens.

Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN ART Lens for Sony E

Everything I was hoping it would be, the 1.4 aperture is fantastic and the size makes it easy to take it anywhere that I want to go without weighing me down.

Excellent Size and Optics

Christmas gift

I bought this lens and extras for my very talented and creative son for birthday/Christmas. 
This lens is very very sharp (photographs) (Sony a7III). He is very happy with the Sigma line up for Sony. 
Adorama is very quick from order time to shipping and to your door A++

Happy Photographer

Really happy with the lens so far; I?ve used it on two portrait sessions and was pleased with the quick autofocus and beautiful glass. I appreciate the multiple ways to control aperture, but definitely have to get used to it. I keep forgetting that I have it set to the click wheel on the lens, and try to control it with the camera!
I also thought the lens hood was stuck on for a bit, and had simply missed that there?s a nice button on the bottom that keeps the hood hanging tight to the lens. Nice feature but again, just something new.

So far, so good!

The go-to native 85 prime for Sony

Best professional portrait lens on market.

Best portrait lens

Exceptionally sharp lens fully open.  Good AF and built.  Very happy so far.

Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art on APSC

Great lens. Perfect for headshots and outdoor work.

Focus was spot on

GREAT GREAT LENSE!!! sigma has make this sharp machine a lot lighter for sony shooters, Adorama made it super easy to purchase and the free shipping in 2 days ( I'd recommend to become a VIP Member for sure)

Adorama always has the best !

Honestly it's my favorite lens in my kit to shoot with. The Sony 85 gm is just as sharp with almost the same bokeh but this one knocks it out of the park! Its lighter, a bit smaller and the autofocus is stupid quite, whereas in the sony is has this annoying gear noise. I sold my gm and got two sigma with that and have had no regrets at all.

This lens rocks!

Gorgeous color right in camera and super sharp! ??

Akko good!

Amazing

The image quality from this lens is incredible.  It's as sharp at f1.4 as it is stopped down to to f5.6.

Most have for portraits.

The sharpness on this lens is outstanding! The focus is amazing. Definitely my go to lens.

Excellent Lens!

Creamy Creamy

Awesome piece of glass, I also have the 35mm and 50mm Art series from Sigma.
They all are superb lenses.
