Our Verdict
Joining the Art range of SIGMA lenses, this 85mm f/1.4 is perfect for those seeking to get the most from their portrait photography, with this being designed with exactly that in mind - namely the maximum aperture of f/1.4, the rounded diaphragm and the high quality low-dispersion optic.
The focal length of 85mm is a popular choice for potrait photographers as it allows you to get delightful head and shoulders shots with the background being blurred into a mere afterthought - and this is where the best assets of bokeh can be used to highlight your subject.
