Sigma AF 65mm F/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For L-Mount

The Sigma AF 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For L-Mount combines excellent resolving power with a small body that is perfectly weighted for mirrorless systems.

This short-tele/long-normal prime offers a unique field of view with a slightly more compressed perspective than standard lenses that is well-suited to portraiture and selective everyday shooting. Complementing the slightly longer focal length is a bright f/2 design that helps to maintain a portable form factor while also contributing to low-light performance and depth of field control.

Optically, the Sigma AF 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For L-Mount includes a pair of aspherical elements and one low dispersion element in its design to control a variety of aberrations and achieve notable sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied, which reduces flare and ghosting for greater contrast.

Benefitting handling, this lens features a stepping motor for quick and quiet AF performance that suits both photo and video applications. As an I Series lens, too, this lens incorporates a manual aperture ring and all-metal barrel constriction into its design for enhanced tactility. Additionally, there is a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.

 

Key Features of the Sigma AF 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For L-Mount

• As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
• I Series lens emphasizes a sleek and stylish physical design that is built to the same operational standards of Sigma’s Cine lenses, including a mechanical aperture ring, knurled metal components, and various switches and tactile controls for intuitive operation.
• Bright f/2 maximum aperture strikes an ideal balance between speed and size and manages to maintain a compact physical profile while also offering low-light performance and depth of field control.
• One Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element markedly reduces chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• Two aspherical elements help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• Integrated stepping motor realizes smooth and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an internal focusing design to promote greater responsiveness.
• Manual aperture ring includes an ‘A’ position for camera-based aperture selection.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity and rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount’s design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
• Included LCF62-01M magnetic lens cap attaches directly to the front of the lens and is compatible with the optional CH-11 Lens Cap Holder.

 

New standards of optical performance for the Contemporary line

The Sigma AF 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For L-Mount brings to the table the highest level of optical performance at a maximum aperture of F2 with a lens body of a size that perfectly matches mirrorless cameras. A combination of the latest optical design with advanced processing technology gives the 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary its excellent optical performance as well as compact size.

Axial chromatic aberration, which tends to be noticeable with medium and telephoto lenses and cannot be effectively reduced in-camera, is corrected thoroughly with the use of SLD glass, allowing it to capture sharp details. A pair of glass-moulded aspherical lenses are used to correct spherical and comatic aberration, as well as astigmatism, while also helping make the lens configuration smaller in size.

In addition to the beautiful bokeh effect thanks to the control of spherical aberration, the reduced vignetting effects help curb lemon-shaped or swirly bokeh and give photographers greater control over the out of focus areas of their images. On top of it all, the SIGMA-standard anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology ensure high-end performance in backlit conditions.
