Mark a new chapter of the Art line F1.4 in the mirrorless age
The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art combines a clear and delicate rendering performance, which is requisite for portrait photography, with beautiful, rich bokeh effects only possible with lenses such as a large-diameter F1.4, at a level that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers. The focal length of 85mm and significant bokeh effect at F1.4 brightness allow the users’ subjects to stand out in a complementary fashion, which is one of the essences of taking portrait photography, so users can enjoy it to the fullest.
In addition to the fast and consistent AF response, the mirrorless-exclusive design of the 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has realized a lightweight and compact lens body that defies convention. And its small body is packed with a range of functionalities, including a dust- and splash-proof structure, supported by an excellent build quality.
The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is SIGMA's new “ultimate portrait lens” for the mirrorless age. And with it, SIGMA proposes a whole new world of possibilities provided by this “85mm F1.4 lens for everyday use,” thanks to the unprecedented level of portability, free from size- or weight-related limitations.

Dust- and splash-proof structure
This lens features a highly effective dust- and splash-proof structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection, allowing photographers to work in all types of weather.
Water- and oil-repellent coating
In addition to the dust- and splash-proof structure, along with a water- and oil-repellent coating, the lens uses materials such as aluminum and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) where they are best suited, achieving a level of build quality that is worthy of the Art line. In addition to the durability of the body, the lens pursues quality in terms of how users “feel” as well, such as the smooth motion in which each ring or switch works, and the precise hand feeling. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art helps ensure users a smooth shooting experience in every condition.
De-clickable iris ring for video
The Iris ring is mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks by the *2 Iris Ring Click Switch, enabling seamless operations that are especially useful such as during video shooting. Furthermore, the *3 “Focus Mode Switch” on the lens body and the *4 “AFL button *2” that allows various functions to be assigned from a camera body will also assist users’ shooting.
Iris ring lock switch
This compact lens is packed with a range of functionalities that will satisfy both professional and advanced amateur photographers. The 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art has newly introduced an “Iris ring lock switch. *1 ” This prevents from unintended movement of the iris ring during shooting, allowing users to devote their attention to the creation of their image.
Compatible with Lens Aberration Correction
Matching the optical characteristics of the lens, this function performs in-camera corrections of peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, distortion, and more, to further enhance image quality.
* Function available on supported cameras only. Available corrections may vary depending on the camera model.
SIGMA WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR 77mm (OPTIONAL)
With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramic is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramic. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramic the ideal material for protective lens filters.
Made in Japan
All Sigma products, lenses, cameras and flash units are manufactured exclusively by Sigma in Sigma’s own factory in Aizu, Japan. No Sigma Corporation product – lens, camera or flash – is manufactured outside of Japan. This is very unusual these days, as most companies have at least some of their products produced outside of Japan because of cost considerations.
There's a reason why SIGMA continues to insist on the very highest quality in its product manufacturing: our love of photography is second to none.
We deeply appreciate the photographer's desire to record and express—the passion of the photographer.

I shot it all on a 50mm and a 70-200 at the lower end (apsc so 75mm and 105-300 equivalent). They invited me back for the next few years so I can't have been too bad (though I was also free 😃)
