Sigma’s Art series of lenses has shifted the company’s dynamic from a 3rd party alternative lens manufacturer to a first choice for many photographers not only in terms of cost, but mainly in terms of quality. The Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art for Canon continues Sigma’s remarkable shift in reputation into a powerhouse lens manufacturer. Designed for high resolution full frame cameras, crop sensor cameras can also take advantage of this lens’s impressive optical performance. An ideal portrait lens, the 85mm f/1.4 Art for Canon boasts both pleasing bokeh and incredibly sharp detail. The updated hyper sonic motor (HSM) makes autofocus faster and with greater torque. While not a small or lightweight lens, the 85mm f/1.4 Art for Canon delivers outstanding image quality in a definitively solid and professional package.
