Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens for Sony E
The Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary is a standout member of the “I Series,” offering a unique “long-normal” perspective that sits perfectly between a standard 50mm and a dedicated 85mm portrait lens. This all-metal prime combines a vintage aesthetic with cutting-edge optical performance, making it a favorite for photographers who appreciate tactile controls and exceptional sharpness. Whether you are shooting intimate portraits or selective street scenes, the 65mm f/2 delivers a distinctive look with a premium, mechanical feel.

Premium I Series Build & Tactility
All-Metal Construction: Built to the rigorous standards of Sigma’s Cine lenses, the barrel, hood, and rings are all precision-machined metal for a robust and high-end feel.

Mechanical Aperture Ring: Features a dedicated manual aperture ring with an “A” position, allowing for physical control over your exposure settings—ideal for both photographers and cinematographers.

Magnetic Lens Cap: Includes the innovative LCF62-01M magnetic cap, which snaps instantly to the front of the lens, alongside a traditional plastic cap.

Weather-Sealed Design: The brass bayonet mount features rubber sealing to protect your gear against dust and splashes when working in inclement conditions.

Sophisticated Optics & Performance
Unique 65mm Perspective: Provides a 97.5mm equivalent focal length on APS-C cameras. It offers a slightly more compressed look than a 50mm, creating a natural and flattering rendering for portraiture.

f/2 Maximum Aperture: Strikes the perfect balance between low-light speed and a portable form factor, enabling excellent depth-of-field control without the bulk of an f/1.4 lens.

Advanced Glass Elements: Incorporates one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element and two aspherical elements to virtually eliminate chromatic aberrations and distortion for tack-sharp imagery.

Stepping AF Motor: A high-speed stepping motor provides near-silent, smooth autofocus, which is essential for video work and tracking moving subjects in high-resolution stills.

Creative Control & Handling
Super Multi-Layer Coating: Effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, maintaining rich contrast and color neutrality even in difficult backlit situations.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Produces a soft, creamy bokeh that beautifully isolates your subject from the background.

Internal Focusing: Ensures the lens remains the same length during operation, promoting faster response times and better balance on your mirrorless camera body.
