The Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art for Nikon F mount is a fast telephoto prime built for serious portrait and low light work.

Portrait lens problems this Sigma 85mm Art helps solve

Many portrait shooters struggle with lenses that do not separate subject from background, lose sharpness toward the edges or force high ISO settings in low light. The Sigma 85mm Art series prime is designed to address these issues on modern full frame bodies.

• Portraits lack clear subject to background separation and smooth bokeh.
• Edges are soft or show color fringing even when the center looks sharp.
• Low light scenes require high ISO values that introduce noise and reduce detail.

How the Sigma 85mm F1.4 Art improves your images

The large f1.4 aperture delivers shallow depth of field and lets you keep ISO lower in dim locations. Special low dispersion and high refractive elements work with an aspherical component and Super Multi Layer Coating to maintain contrast and sharpness while limiting flare, ghosting and chromatic aberration, even on high resolution full frame sensors.
