DROP EVERYTHING –Sigma just released its fastest portrait lens ever
The world's smallest and lightest 85mm f/1.2 is here –and it boasts "spectacular" sharpness and "epic" aberration control
Sigma has unveiled its most advanced portrait lens to date, the 85mm f/1.2 DG Art. This groundbreaking achievement surpasses previous f/1.4 offerings, delivering unparalleled sharpness and low-light performance for photographers. Weighing in at just 950g and measuring 120mm, it's also the lightest and smallest 85mm f/1.2 lens available, a stark contrast to the heftier Canon RF and Nikon Z counterparts.
Sigma's innovative SLD glass elements suppress chromatic aberrations, ensuring exceptional image clarity. With 17 meticulously crafted elements, 12 groups, and 13 aperture blades, the lens delivers stunning center sharpness across the aperture range. Priced at $1,599, this lens represents a significant investment, yet offers superior value compared to its competitors, making it a compelling choice for professional portrait photographers.
