Unlock Better Portraits With This Must-Have Lens

Portrait photography requires the right tools and techniques. One lens stands out for its exceptional performance and versatility, making it a top choice for capturing stunning images.

Coming to you from Gareth Evans with Park Cameras, this quick video highlights the capabilities of the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens. Evans emphasizes the stunning optical performance of this lens, noting its sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and excellent color reproduction. He mentions how it’s perfect for various photography projects and provides fantastic results in both controlled and natural lighting conditions.

Evans finds the lens to be not only optically impressive but also well-designed and practical. It’s relatively lightweight and pairs well with many cameras, handling high-resolution images with ease. The lens features an aperture ring with a click/de-click option, making it versatile for both photography and videography. Additionally, the manual focus ring is well-weighted and comfortable to use, enhancing the overall shooting experience.

The lens offers great value, providing top-notch image quality at a more accessible price point compared to the Sony G Master lens with the same focal length and aperture. This affordability makes it a fantastic option if you’re looking for high-quality results without the higher price tag. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Evans.
