## Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens - Sony E-Mount (FE)
This auction is for the professional-grade **Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art**, a masterpiece of optical engineering designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras. This "DG DN" version is a complete redesign from the ground up, offering significantly improved performance and a much more compact form factor than its DSLR predecessors. It is widely considered one of the finest portrait lenses ever created for the Sony E-mount system.
### Key Features and Professional Specifications
* **Model:** Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (Mirrorless Dedicated Design).
* **Mount:** **Sony E-Mount (FE)** (Fully compatible with Sony Alpha full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras).
* **Focal Length:** **85mm**, the definitive focal length for portraiture, providing ideal compression and perspective.
* **Aperture:** Ultra-fast **f/1.4** maximum aperture. The **11-blade rounded diaphragm** produces an incredibly smooth, creamy bokeh that makes subjects stand out with a three-dimensional quality.
* **Optical Excellence:** Features five **SLD (Special Low Dispersion)** elements and one aspherical lens. It is engineered to deliver wide-open sharpness that satisfies the demands of high-resolution 50MP+ sensors while virtually eliminating axial chromatic aberration.
* **Advanced Physical Controls:**
* **Aperture Ring:** Features a dedicated ring for manual aperture control.
* **Aperture Ring Click Switch:** Allows you to toggle between clicked (for stills) and de-clicked (for silent video operation).
* **Aperture Ring Lock Switch:** Prevents accidental movement of the aperture ring.
* **AFL Button:** A customizable button on the lens barrel for focus lock or other assigned functions.
* **Autofocus:** Powered by a high-speed **stepping motor** optimized for both phase-detection and contrast-detection AF. It is fast, silent, and fully compatible with Sony’s Face/Eye Priority AF.
* **Build Quality:** Built to professional standards with a **dust and splash-resistant** structure and a water/oil-repellent coating on the front element.
* **Compact Design:** Weighing only approximately **630g**, it is remarkably lightweight and balanced for an f/1.4 portrait prime.
### Condition and Included Items
The lens is presented in excellent, well-maintained condition, suitable for professional use or a discerning enthusiast's kit.
* **Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens (Sony E-mount)**
* **Sigma Dedicated Petal-Shaped Lens Hood (with lock mechanism)**
* **Sigma Front Lens Cap**
* **Sigma Rear Lens Cap**
* **Sigma Dedicated Padded Soft Lens Case**
* **Original Box and Documentation** (If visible in your set)
**Condition Note:** The lens body is in superb aesthetic condition. The glass elements are pristine, free from scratches, haze, or fungus. The aperture ring and focus ring operate with precision, and the autofocus is snappy and accurate.

### Why the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art?
While Sony’s G-Master lenses are impressive, this Sigma Art series lens often matches or exceeds them in corner-to-corner sharpness and color rendering at a more accessible price point. The "DG DN" designation means it was born for mirrorless, ensuring the optical path is optimized for the Sony sensor. It is an essential tool for any photographer specializing in portraits, fashion, or wedding photography.
