Add portability and durability — this lens is dust and splash-proof — and this new SIGMA addition will never leave your bag.

A must-have for portrait photographers:
With specs like an 85mm focal length and a large f/1.4 aperture, this compact lens will be a portrait photographer’s go-to. SIGMA packed five special low dispersion elements plus one aspherical lens into this powerhouse of a portrait lens. And, since it’s in the Art line of lenses, you can expect stunning results with high-refractive index glass that corrects aberrations while guaranteeing incredibly sharp photos and footage.
The f/1.4 bokeh is also a boon for portrait, wedding, product, and corporate photographers. You can rest assured your subject will be crisply focused, while the background remains soft and blurred — the ultimate bokeh effect.
Impressive autofocus ensures sharp images:
Of course, another key to focused subjects is, well, focusing. That’s where the SIGMA 85mm’s accurate autofocus features come into play. This lens is optimized for phase detection AF and contrast AF, with a focus mode switch on the lens body and an AFL button for switching between functions.
Portability is paramount with the new SIGMA 85mm f/1.4
Photographers and videographers are always on the go, which is why the SIGMA 85mm f/1.4’s lightweight and compact build is another exciting feature. This dust and splash-proof lens weights 22.2 ounces, with a body length of 3.7 inches.
