Is This Strange Sigma Lens Worth a Look?

Sigma makes some pretty standard lenses, but they also create some more unique and less heard-of designs that can be the sort of creative shot in the arm that excites a lot of photographers. The 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary, which sits in a strange middle ground between 50mm and 85mm, is one such lens, and this great video review takes a look at the sort of image quality and performance you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Arthur R, this excellent video review takes a look at the new Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary lens. With such a strange focal length, the 65mm f/2 is quite the intriguing option, and it comes with a variety of useful features, most notable including:

  • Compact and light design: 3 inches (7.6 cm) long, 14.3 oz (405 g)
  • Manual aperture ring
  • One Special Low Dispersion element for less chromatic aberrations and better clarity
  • Two aspherical elements for less distortion and better sharpness
  • Super Multi-Layer Coating for less flares and ghosting and deeper contrast
  • Rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh

Altogether, the 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary looks like an interesting and capable lens. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
