Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E ($1,199 from B&H Photo | Adorama) features updated optical design and bright f/1.4 maximum aperture which enables working in low-light conditions and also increased control over depth of field for achieving shallow depth of field. Optical design incorporates a series of low dispersion, aspherical, and high refractive index elements and its large diameter design achieves a notable degree of clarity and sharpness with well-controlled distortion and aberrations.

The lens features a physical aperture ring, which can be de-clicked or locked, along with a dedicated focus mode switch and AFL button for intuitive and tactile control. For autofocus, a stepping motor is used that maintains a lightweight and compact design while promoting fast and near-silent focusing performance for both stills and video applications. Additionally, the lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.
