Sigma AF 135mm F1.8 DG HSM Art - Nikon

A fast and long Prime lens from Sigma - Perfect for Portraiture

Create tack-sharp portraits with loads of creamy out of focus areas, with the help of the brilliant Sigma 135mm f1.8 DG HSM Art lens. The fast f1.8 aperture makes these shallow depths of field easy to create, while the telephoto focal length allows you to create a dramatic, tight crop on your model without physically getting up in their face and destroying all intimacy. A high-quality optical construction puts an emphasis on image sharpness, while detriments such as chromatic aberrations, colour fringing, lens flare and ghosting are noticeably absent from the wonderful pictures created with this lens.

As with other lenses within the Sigma Art series, the 135mm f1.8 is rugged and sturdy, leaving you with a confident feeling when in your hand. This confidence stems from the thermally stable composite used in the construction, which achieves sturdiness without adding weight, and the brass bayonet mount, which increases durability and adds weather sealing so you can continue shooting in more trying conditions. If you are interested in video or shooting moving subjects you are in luck, as this lens features Sigma’s Hypersonic focus motor, noteworthy for its ability to achieve accurate focus in a timely and discreet manner.

Key optical features

• Two FLD and two SLD elements in the optical construction - reduces aberrations and colour fringing while increasing colour accuracy, sharpness and clarity
• Minimised flare and ghosting thanks to Sigma’s employment of super multi-layer coating
• Out of focus areas are of a beautiful and natural appearance, thanks to the 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm
