Typical of an entry into Sigma’s spectacular Art series, this 135mm f1.8 lens provides both exceptional imaging performance and premium handling quality. The telephoto focal length is perfect for attaining a tighter-crop, without you having to get close to your subject, which is a much sought-after quality when shooting portraiture. The fast f1.8 maximum aperture is good for a number of reasons. Number one, you can shoot handheld even in lower-light conditions without capturing blurry images, number two, you can produce pictures with very shallow depths of field. These out-of-focus areas which are so easy to create with this lens are natural and beautiful in appearance, thanks to the rounded 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

With two FLD and two SLD elements used in the optical construction of this lens, image sharpness, and colour accuracy is at a high level, while the appearance of distortions and other defects are at an all-time low. Super multi-layer coating has been applied to abolish flare and ghosting, while the thermally stable composite material which has been used during the construction has led to the lens retaining a compact form, despite being rugged and durable. The Hyper Sonic Motor of the Sigma 135mm f1.8 lens delivers quiet and fast autofocus, beneficial to shooters of both stills and video. An advanced algorithm assures AF is smooth, while full-time manual focus allows you to take matters into your own hands and make critical focus adjustments.
