Sigma 85mm f/1.2 Art for Sony E and L-Mount: $1,599, Ships October
Sigma's 85mm f/1.2 DG DN Art is now available for Sony E and L-Mount at USD $1,599, shipping October. At 905g it's the lightest AF 85mm f/1.2 currently made, undercutting Sony's own 85mm f/1.4 GM II by around $200. Two things to know before ordering: Sony limits third-party lenses to 15 fps burst (native G Master needed for 30 or 120 fps), and no Adobe lens correction profile exists at launch.
