Share

The new lens is now in Stock at FocusCamera. Preordered items are also shipping out at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FocusCamera. In Europe at Calumet DE, Amazon DE, Amazon UK.

Marc Alhadeff from SonyAlphaBlog tested the new Sigma and concluded:

The Sigma 85mm F1.4 (1099 euros) is a superlative lens in all domains: optical performances, artistic rendering , AF performance, ergonomics , build quality but also size and weight and price. It easily takes the first place among all the 85mm for Sony E mount
It is the ultimate 85mm lens in term of quality for a Sony A7RIV with its 61Mpix for portraits & weddings. A must have!

Gordon Laing from CameraLabs also tested the lens:

It’s an excellent example of what you can achieve when designing a new 85mm f1.4 lens from the ground-up for mirrorless cameras: not only is the 85mm f1.4 DG DN smaller and half the weight of the earlier 85mm f1.4 DG HSM but Sigma’s also improved optical performance over what was already a very respectable lens. This makes the newer DG DN version optically the best 85mm f1.4 lens I’ve tested so far. Packed with all the right features and coming at a price that’s one third less than the Sony FE 85mm f1.4 G-Master, the Sigma clearly earns a Highly Recommended!
