Product Features

- 65mm lens with sharpness and beautiful bokeh to fully enjoy the thrill of photography
The first in the "I Series" of interchangeable lenses that challenge new values as interchangeable lenses for the mirrorless era. The Contemporary line offers a high-spec regular-use lens that combines a compact body ideal for mirrorless systems with high resolving power.
The 65mm f/2.8mm DG DN Contemporary offers a crisp rendering from wide open and a large, beautiful bokeh effect with a maximum aperture of 2.0 F. This focal length has a long-standing reputation among photography enthusiasts and has been used in lenses for film photography. The 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary offers a large, beautiful bokeh effect with a maximum aperture of 2.0.
Furthermore, the all-metal exterior of the I-series lenses, with its meticulous attention to the feel and sound of each operation, offers the joy of lens ownership to photography enthusiasts who seek value beyond the photographic experience.

- I Series: New "Premium Compact Prime" Value Proposition for Mirrorless Systems
The I Series is a series of full-frame compatible lenses that offers new value to mirrorless systems. One of the major advantages of mirrorless systems is that they are compact and lightweight. The combination of high optical performance and compactness that cannot be achieved with an SLR camera also opens up new opportunities for photographers.
On the other hand, Sigma believes that in today's age of mobile devices and other means of photography, owning a camera and lenses requires more than just "taking pictures.
Based on the high development and processing technologies accumulated since the company's founding in 1961 and refined under the SIGMA GLOBAL VISION in 2012, the "I Series" has taken shape after careful consideration of its quality as a tool, the feeling it gives while being handled, and even the pleasure of owning it itself. The answer from SIGMA Contemporary is to ask what kind of value can be proposed for the existence of lenses today.

- The Contemporary line, a new standard in optical performance
The 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary combines the highest level of optical performance at a maximum aperture of f/2.0 with a body size that is well balanced with mirrorless systems.
Axial chromatic aberration, which is easily noticeable at mid-telephoto focal lengths and cannot be corrected on the camera side, has been thoroughly corrected by using SLD glass to achieve crisp images. In addition, two glass-molded aspherical lenses correct spherical aberration, coma aberration, and astigmatism, and contribute to the downsizing of the overall lens configuration. The latest optical design technology and the advanced lens processing technology that makes it possible to achieve both high optical performance and compactness.
In addition to the beautiful bokeh effect obtained by controlling spherical aberration, the lens also suppresses aperture erosion, which reduces bothersome lemon-shaped and spiral bokeh to achieve the desired bokeh effect. In addition, SIGMA-standard ghosting and flare countermeasures ensure high backlight resistance.

- Build quality to I-series specifications
The metal exterior of the I-series common specifications is used. Parts made of machined aluminum are not only beautiful, but also enhance the quality of the product itself, such as its solid rigidity and high durability. Metal is also used for the internal structure that slides against the control ring. High-precision parts made possible by the advanced metalworking technology behind the SIGMA CINE LENS, a professional-use lens designed exclusively for imaging, give each control unit a superb quality that makes you want to operate it again and again.
The cover ring placed between the focus ring and aperture ring has a hairline finish, which is also used on the rear barrel of the Art line. The cover ring gives the lens its own expression and also functions as a finger ring when attaching and detaching the lens.
