Đánh giá sigma 85mm f1 4 dg hsm năm 2024

Portrait shooters are in for a treat with the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art. It’s the spiritual successor to Sigma’s much-loved, mammoth 85mm f1.4 DG HSM Art. Designed initially for DSLRs, Sigma eventually released it for E and L Mounts, but its performance on mirrorless cameras is lackluster. The new Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art is designed for mirrorless cameras. It aims to address both the size and performance issues that plagued its predecessor. We reviewed the E Mount version of the lens, but it’s available for L Mount too.

This lens competes directly with Sony’s excellent 85mm f1.4 G Master. They share numerous similarities: both have 11 rounded aperture blades, an aperture range from f1.4-f16, a minimum autofocusing distance of 2.79 feet, and a filter diameter of φ 77mm. The 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art is also the lightest of the bunch. Let’s see how it stacks up against the competition.

Ergonomics

Sigma put the Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art on a serious diet. It’s roughly 50% lighter and much more compact than the older HSM version. As a result, it feels way better balanced when mounted onto A7 series camera bodies.

The Focus Mode Switch, AFL Button, and Aperture Ring Click Switch are all located on the left side. You can toggle between Auto or Manual Focus modes without going into the menus. Plus, custom functions can be mapped to the AFL button. It’s set to Focus Hold by default. The Aperture Ring Click Switch lets you de-click the aperture ring. Hybrid shooters will love this.

The opposite side has much less going on. The Aperture Ring Lock Switch is the only thing on this side. When engaged, it keeps the aperture ring locked in “A” mode. This lets photographers set the aperture via their camera’s command dials. Alternatively, you can disengage the lock and adjust your aperture manually using the aperture ring.

Here’s a look at Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art’s front end. Its 11 rounded aperture blades are on full display here. Like the Sony 85mm f1.4 G Master, the Sigma has a 77mm front filter thread.

Build Quality

The Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art offers tremendous value for just $1,199. It retains the excellent image quality of its predecessor while addressing many of its shortcomings: It’s smaller, lighter, and features markedly improved autofocus performance. In fact, this lens performs on par with the highly-rated Sony 85mm G Master. Talk about punching above its weight. Be sure to check out our upcoming direct comparison between these two lenses. Unfortunately, the Sigma falls just short of perfection due to its severe pincushion distortion. Otherwise, it would have been a shoo-in for the Phoblographer’s Editor’s Choice Award. The Sigma 85mm f1.4 DG DN Art lens earns four out of five stars. It’s available now in both E and L mounts for US $1,199.
