Introducing the Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens: Uncompromising Performance for Canon EF-mount Cameras
The Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon EF-mount cameras is a short-telephoto prime lens renowned for its exceptional optical quality and impressive design. With its wide f/1.4 aperture, this lens excels in low-light conditions and offers precise control over depth of field, allowing you to isolate subjects and achieve beautiful selective focus effects. As part of Sigma’s Art line, this lens is crafted for high-resolution imaging and employs FLD and SLD glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, resulting in outstanding clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating is also applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color accuracy even in challenging lighting situations. The lens features a nine-blade rounded diaphragm, producing a smooth and pleasing bokeh.
In addition to its impressive optics, the lens incorporates a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance, with full-time manual focus override for precise adjustments. The lens’s physical design incorporates a Thermally Stable Composite material, ensuring durability in various environments. The brass bayonet mount offers rigidity and precise mounting, while the lens’s removable tripod collar includes an Arca-type compatible foot for broad mounting compatibility.
As a member of Sigma’s Art line within the Global Vision series, this lens is specifically designed to deliver exceptional optical performance, making it an ideal choice for creative and artistic applications.
