85mm F1.2 DG | Art overview

The Sigma 85mm F1.2 DG | Art is an 85mm f/1.2 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount and L-Mount, announced by Sigma in September 2026. 63 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.

New, it sells for A$2,499 to A$2,889 at the 5 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock.

Worth comparing it with the Sony FE 85mm F1.4 GM II, Zeiss Otus ML 1.4/85 and Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG DN | Art.
