Description

A fast telephoto prime, the Nikon F-mount 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM from Sigma pairs bright and sophisticated optics with intuitive handling and design. As part of the Art line of lenses, this 135mm f/1.8 is designed for high-resolution rendering, and utilizes FLD and SLD glass to control chromatic aberrations and color fringing for notable clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating also enhances image quality by suppressing lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, making it an ideal lens for portraiture, the bright f/1.8 maximum aperture pairs with a rounded nine-blade diaphragm to benefit selective focus and shallow depth of field imaging with smooth bokeh.

Complementing the imaging capabilities, the lens sports a Hyper Sonic Motor to produce quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. The physical design utilizes Thermally Stable Composite material for durability in a wide range of environments, and a brass bayonet mount also offers rigidity and mounting precision.

As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has a prime telephoto lens that is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs, however it can also be used on DX models where it will provide a 202.5mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has two F Low Dispersion (FLD) and two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements that are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has a Super Multi-Layer Coating that has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has a nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has a integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) that realizes quick and quiet autofocusing, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens has specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism that provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens  is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, along with traditional metals, for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations.

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
