Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Reviews

A great small lens

The Sigma 65mm is a great small lens. I use it on my Sony a7CII and the quality is great. The images are sharp and the bokeh is really nice. I primarily use this as a portrait lens.

My New Default Lens

Got this lens because I was interested in the unusual focal length. I've always liked 85mm lens' but they have always been a little too tight and 50 mm was too wide for my liking. 65mm has been perfect for me, definitely my default lens now. On top of the focal length being great for me, the quality is amazing, image and build. This is a sturdy, well constructed lens with amazing colors and sharpness. Added perk is the magnetic lens cap which I have come to love when it comes to convenience.
