135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art overview
The Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is a 135mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Nikon F, Sony E-mount and L-Mount, announced by Sigma in February 2017. 104 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It is discontinued, so new stock may be limited.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and low light. It is a weaker pick for travelling light.
New, it sells for $1,399 in the United States (Precision Camera); used and refurbished copies start at $1,049.99. It launched at $1,399.
Worth comparing it with the Sony FE 135mm F1.8 GM, Viltrox AF 135mm F1.8 LAB and Zeiss Batis 2.8/135.
