This contemporary lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.

I Series lens emphasizes a sleek and stylish physical design that is built to the same operational standards of Sigma's Cine lenses, including a mechanical aperture ring, knurled metal components, and various switches and tactile controls for intuitive operation.

Perfect for portraits

Slightly shorter than a traditional 85mm portrait lens, the 65mm F2 allows photographers to include a little more of the scene while maintaining the most flattering perspective on the face.

The F2 aperture creates a shallow depth-of-field that helps the subject to stand out from the background for more impactful results.

High-performance optics

Despite being extremely small and light, the 65mm F2 does not compromise on optical quality. Its advanced optical design includes 12 elements in 9 groups, of which 2 are aspherical elements and 1 is an SLD element. These help keep the lens compact while greatly reducing the appearance of chromatic aberration around areas of high contrast.

Vignetting is very minimal even wide-open and chromatic aberration is very minimal even in very high contrast areas.

Excellent build quality

As with the other optics in the I series range of premium compact primes, the 65mm F2 has an all-metal build comprising precision-cut aluminium parts. Its robust construction and ultra-portable design make it perfect for street, travel, wedding and portrait photography. The lens has a rubber seal around the brass mount to keep out dust and moisture.

An aperture ring gives photographers the option of changing aperture using the lens or the camera.

The tactile knurled metal finish used for the lens hood, focus ring and aperture ring make handling the lens and changing settings extremely intuitive. Included with the lens is a magnetic metal lens cap in addition to the regular plastic cap, which further improves ease of use.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at their sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.
