Sigma 320306 Overview

When you need a medium-telephoto standard lens for everything from portraiture to sports, the fast Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLRs is a great solution. This large aperture beauty is designed with an SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element and a glass mold element which yield first-class, sharp image captures with high contrast.

The 85mm f/1.4 has Sigma's HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) which provides fast, accurate and quiet autofocusing. The exterior of this lens is EX-finished which translates to a superior build and optical quality, enhanced handling and appearance. It comes with a petal-type hood to block out extraneous light. A dedicated hood adapter for cameras with an APS-C size image sensor is also included to expand the length of the hood for blocking out extraneous light more effectively.

This fast f/1.4 lens is great for capturing fast moving images, allowing you to use faster shutter speeds, and is what you want when shooting under low lighting conditions. This highly efficient lens has a nine blade circular diaphragm for creating pleasant out-of-focus highlights (bokeh) which is a major asset to portrait and wedding photographers.

Note: This lens is designed for use with full frame digital cameras. May also be used with smaller APS-c size sensors with a corresponding effective increase in focal length to about 127.5mm with most cameras.

Note: Nikon mount lenses do not have an aperture ring.

Note:
If the camera body does not support HSM, autofocus will not be available.
Sigma's 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM lens is a large aperture medium telephoto lens optimized for use with digital SLR cameras and is especially ideal for portrait and low light photography.

It is equipped with a rear focus system that minimizes fluctuations of aberrations caused by focusing and the Super Multi Layer (SML) coating reduces flare and ghosting even in backlight photography.
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed autofocus capability. and
The round 9 blade diaphragm creates pleasant out-of-focus highlights.
Made in Japan.

question

Would the 85m f1.4 autofocus on Nikon d 5300
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, and autofocus and aperture control should also function. Be aware that this is a full frame lens and the 5300 is a crop (DX) sensor camera. Everything should function properly but the full frame lens will give the illusion of an approximately 50% increase in image size (magnification) when the image is projected on the reduced size (crop) sensor.

Will this work with the Nikon D750?
Asked by: Anonymous
The D750 is a Full Frame Nikon camera body therefore you need to use FX lenses. FX lenses are full frame lenses. THe Sigma 85 f1/4 Nikon lens is a FUll frame lens. Nikon only uses one mount for all of their DSLR - as long as the lens that you order is for Nikon the lens will fit. So, Yes - this lens is perfect for the D750. I owned this lens for my D4 and I also use it on my D700 and love this sigma lens.
