New standards of optical performance for the Contemporary line
The Sigma AF 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens For Sony E-Mount brings to the table the highest level of optical performance at a maximum aperture of F2 with a lens body of a size that perfectly matches mirrorless cameras. A combination of the latest optical design with advanced processing technology gives the 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary its excellent optical performance as well as compact size.
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 capture sharp details. A pair of glass-moulded aspherical lenses is used to correct spherical and comatic aberration, as well as astigmatism, while also helping make the lens configuration smaller in size.
In addition to the beautiful bokeh effect thanks to the control of spherical aberration, the reduced vignetting effects help curb lemon-shaped or swirly bokeh and give photographers greater control over the out of focus areas of their images. On top of it all, the SIGMA-standard anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology ensure high-end performance in backlit conditions.
