## Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art - Leica L-Mount (L/T Mount)

This auction features the professional-grade **Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art**, a lens that redefined the standards for portrait photography on mirrorless systems. Designed specifically for the **L-Mount alliance (Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma)**, this "DG DN" version is significantly smaller, lighter, and sharper than its DSLR predecessors. It is widely regarded as one of the finest optical achievements in the Sigma Art lineup.

### Key Features and Professional Specifications

* **Model:** Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art (Mirrorless Dedicated Design).
* **Mount:** **Leica L-Mount**. Fully compatible with full-frame cameras such as the Leica SL series, Panasonic Lumix S series, and Sigma fp series.
* **Optical Excellence:** Features a sophisticated design with **five SLD (Special Low Dispersion)** elements and one aspherical lens. This ensures razor-sharp resolution from corner to corner, even at the maximum aperture of f/1.4.
* **Aperture:** A fast **f/1.4** maximum aperture combined with an **11-blade rounded diaphragm**, producing an incredibly smooth and creamy bokeh that is perfect for professional portraiture.
* **Advanced Controls:**
* **Aperture Ring:** Allows for intuitive manual control.
* **Aperture Ring Click Switch:** Enables the user to toggle the "click" on or off—a vital feature for silent video operation.
* **Aperture Ring Lock Switch:** Prevents accidental shifts from the chosen aperture setting.
* **AFL Button:** A customizable button on the lens barrel that can be assigned various functions within the camera menu.


* **Autofocus:** Powered by a high-speed **stepping motor**, providing fast, silent, and highly accurate focus tracking for both stills and video.
* **Build Quality:** Professional-grade, **dust and splash-proof** construction. The front element features a water and oil-repellent coating for protection in challenging environments.
* **Compact Design:** Remarkably portable for an f/1.4 prime, making it balanced and comfortable for long shoots or gimbal work.

### Condition and Included Items

The lens is presented in excellent, near-mint condition, reflecting the high standards of a professional kit.

* **Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens (L-Mount)**
* **Sigma Dedicated Petal-Type Lens Hood (with lock)**
* **Sigma Front Lens Cap**
* **Sigma Rear Lens Cap**
* **Original Padded Soft Case**
* **Original Box and Documentation** (If available in your set)

**Condition Note:** The lens barrel is in superb aesthetic condition with virtually no signs of wear. 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 reliable.

### Why the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN for L-Mount?

For L-mount users, this lens offers a compelling alternative to the native Leica SL primes, matching their legendary sharpness and rendering while being more compact. It is the definitive "portrait workhorse" that delivers a three-dimensional pop to images, making it an essential investment for any serious photographer in the L-mount ecosystem.
