Superb optical performance

The 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary lens brings to the table the highest level of optical performance even at its maximum aperture of F2. Axial chromatic aberration, which tends to be noticeable with medium and telephoto lenses and cannot be effectively reduced in camera, is corrected thoroughly with the use of SLD glass, allowing it to resolve extreme detail. A pair of glass-moulded aspherical lenses provide correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, as well as astigmatism. In addition to the beautiful bokeh effect thanks to the control of spherical aberration, the reduced effect of vignetting helps curb lemon-shaped or swirly bokeh and gives photographers greater control over the out-of-focus areas of their images. And Sigma-standard anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology ensures high performance in backlit conditions.

Exception build quality with a compact form factor

This lens has an all-metal construction. The precision-cut aluminium parts not only give the barrel a sleek, stylish finish but provide superb durability, which improves the overall build quality of the lens. Metal materials are also used in internal structures that slide with the operation ring for added robustness. The cover ring between the focus ring and the aperture ring has hairline processing that is also used for the rear cylinder of the Art line. This covering functions as a finger hold when attaching or detaching the lens.

Great functionality

Despite being exceptionally small and light for an all-metal, full-frame, wide-aperture lens, the 65mm F2 DG DN Contemporary lens has impressive functionality, with an aperture ring that allows you to change apertures on the lens, or when set to Auto, in-camera if preferred. Special sound-deadening grease has been used to give the ring a precise but smooth action.
