Sigma has launched its 85mm F1.4 DG DN Art, a fast portrait prime for Sony E and Panasonic/Leica/Sigma L-mount. The lens features 15 elements, including one aspherical and five SLD (special low dispersion). It has 11 aperture blades and its focus unit is driven by a high-speed stepping motor. The minimum focus distance of the 85mm F1.4 is 0.85m (34`) and the maximum magnification is 0.12x.
The lens` aperture ring has a `click switch`, allowing users to choose between `clicky` and smooth rotation, as well as a `lock switch` to prevent accidental operation. As one would expect from a modern lens in Sigma`s `Art` collection, it`s very well built and weather-sealed. Despite that, the lens weighs just 630 grams (1.4 pounds).
The 85mm F1.4 DG DN Art will go on sale later this month for $1199.
