Sigma's massive Art-line 105mm f/1.4 — nicknamed 'Bokeh Master', the world's first AF 105mm f/1.4 for full-frame.
The Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art launched in 2018 as the world's first autofocus 105mm f/1.4 lens, earning the nickname 'Bokeh Master' for its extraordinary subject isolation capability. Available in Sony FE mount among others, it targets portrait photographers seeking maximum bokeh quality.
Optically extraordinary — delivers Art-line sharpness with the most dramatic subject isolation possible from an autofocus lens. At f/1.4 at 105mm the depth of field is paper-thin, producing backgrounds that dissolve into creamy abstraction. HSM autofocus is fast and accurate.
Sony FE mount with 105mm filter thread — enormous. Weighs 1645g — this is a massive lens. No weather sealing on this version. Minimum focus distance 100cm. 9 rounded aperture blades. USB dock compatible. Tripod mount included — essential given the weight.
Available used at professional prices. The weight and size make this a commitment to use — not a casual walkaround lens. The Nikon 105mm f/1.4E is lighter. For photographers specifically seeking the ultimate in bokeh quality at 105mm, nothing else compares. Nicknamed 'Bokeh Master' for good reason.
