Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F

The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F is a short telephoto prime designed to deliver exceptional optical performance for portrait and creative photography. Featuring a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions while providing outstanding control over depth of field and producing smooth, pleasing bokeh.

Its advanced optical design incorporates two SLD elements, one anomalous partial dispersion / high-refractive index element, and one aspherical element to significantly reduce chromatic aberrations, distortion, and vignetting. A Super Multi-Layer Coating further enhances image quality by minimizing flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and color accuracy even in challenging lighting conditions.

Autofocus performance is fast, accurate, and quiet thanks to the integrated Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), while full-time manual focus override allows for precise adjustments at any moment. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a soft, natural out-of-focus rendering.

Built as part of Sigma’s Art line within the Global Vision series, the lens combines premium materials with a thermally stable composite construction and a durable brass bayonet mount for reliable performance in a wide range of environments. Compatible with full-frame Nikon F-mount cameras—and APS-C models with a 127.5mm equivalent focal length—this lens is also fully supported by Sigma’s USB Dock for firmware updates and fine-tuning, making it a versatile and high-performance tool for demanding photographers.
