Performance
135mm telephoto lenses are often classified as a basic telephoto lens and are usually one of the first lenses in a collection. This focal length has a strong perspective compression effect, while the F1.8 speed delivers great bokeh. By minimizing longitudinal chromatic aberration, the bokeh of the SIGMA 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is as impressive as it is beautiful, and the Lens delivers shots with excellent contrast as well as outstanding sharpness.
It offers the outstanding resolution required for DSLRs with 50 megapixels or more. By incorporating the latest innovations in design and optical glass, and rethinking every aspect of the Lens, we ensure outstanding image quality across the entire image range and set new standards for 135mm telephoto lenses.
With resolution so crystal clear that every hair in a portrait is discernible, this large-diameter Lens also delivers stunning bokeh, giving photographers everything they need.
It's ideal for close-ups and full-body shots, setting off the subject against a pleasantly blurred background. In addition to standard portraits, including wedding photography, this Lens brings top performance to live events and effortlessly captures subjects with its super-fast autofocus.
Design
To deliver the ultra-high resolution that brings out the best in DSLRs with 50 megapixels or more, the focus mechanism features SIGMA's floating system. Regardless of the distance to the subject, this Lens delivers top performance from the center of the frame to the edges. The lens design also minimizes distortion to deliver flawless image quality, eliminating the need for digital adjustments during image processing.
Ideal for portraits that require impressive bokeh
The 135mm focal length delivers an impressive compression effect: even with a comparatively close subject, the telephoto allows the photographer to create a variety of dramatic perspectives. The compression effect shines in both close-ups and full-length portraits, making image composition easier.
Even more, the F1.8 speed creates full-body portraits with stunning background bokeh. All in all, this Lens gives photographers a full range of compositional options.
Fast and reliable autofocus photography
The large Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) provides ample torque to the focusing group for superior speed, ensuring exceptionally consistent performance even at low speeds. Together with the optimized AF algorithm, these features ensure fast autofocus photography. In addition, the focus range limiter lets the AF respond very accurately to the distance to the subject, making performance even more reliable.
The sixth 35mm full-frame fixed focal length joins the Art product line
Introduced in 2012, the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art was the first lens in the Art product line. Since then, we have developed a variety of lenses for this product line. The SIGMA 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is the sixth fixed focal length lens in the product line to offer full-frame 35mm coverage. Now even more powerful, the Art product line sets a new standard for fixed focal length lenses in the age of high-resolution cameras.
The mount is dust- and splash-proof
Since the mount of a lens is particularly susceptible to dust and other foreign objects, this Lens has been designed with rubber sealing to prevent the ingress of dirt. The front lens element also has a water- and oil-repellent coating, so the Lens can be used well in the rain, near water, or in other difficult conditions.
Includes Nikon's Electromagnetic Iris Mechanism
In the Nikon variant, the Lens features the Electromagnetic Iris Mechanism and is thus able to process signals from the camera body. This feature provides precise iris control and consistent performance during automatic exposure (AE) in continuous shooting mode.
Note: Some camera bodies may have limited functionality.
