• Bright f/1.4 Aperture: Master low-light conditions and achieve beautiful background blur and sharp subject isolation, ideal for portraits and events.
• Durable, Weather-Sealed Construction: Ready for any outdoor challenge, this lens offers robust dust and splash resistance.
• Fast and Accurate Autofocus: Equipped with Sigma's Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for quick, silent, and precise focusing, essential in capturing fleeting moments.
• Premium Build Quality: High-grade materials and a solid metal mount ensure durability and confidence in handling.
• Versatile Focal Length: At 105mm, this lens is perfect for creating stunning portraits with a natural perspective and minimal distortion.
• Optimized for Full-Frame Cameras: Designed to bring out the best in full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a wide angle of view and exceptional image quality.

• Exceptional peripheral brightness - With its large filter diameter of 105mm, this lens delivers a significantly greater volume of peripheral light than other lenses in its class. Minimizing vignetting while offering a beautiful bokeh effect, this lens is ideal for portrait photography.
• Exclusive low-dispersion glass - Most chromatic aberration can be removed by combining a high-refractivity convex lens element with a low-refractivity concave element. Yet residual chromatic aberration known as “secondary spectrum” may still remain. To minimize this secondary spectrum, which can be a serious issue with conventional lenses, SIGMA lenses feature up to three types of exclusive low-dispersion glass offering superior performance: ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion), SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and FLD (“F” Low Dispersion). In particular, FLD glass offers ultra-low dispersion in combination with high transmittance and the anomalous dispersion characteristics of fluorite.
• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.
• Fast AF with full-time manual focus - Full-time manual focus function allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus ring. *Note: The operation of full-time MF may vary based on mount type.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
