85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art

The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is a mirrorless-native portrait prime that offers optical quality rivalling Sony's FE 85mm f/1.4 GM at a significantly lower price. Redesigned with a shorter register distance in mind, it is sharper wide open than its DSLR predecessor and features faster, quieter AF via Sigma's high-response linear actuator. A compelling choice for Sony portrait and wedding photographers.
