Sigma 65mm f/2 DG Contemporary Lens For L-Mount

Versatile Long-Normal Prime for Portraits and Everyday Shooting

The Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary lens occupies a unique space between traditional normal and short telephoto focal lengths, offering a versatile field of view that excels in portraiture, detail-rich close-ups, and selective everyday photography. Sitting just beyond the classic 50mm, this 65mm prime delivers a slightly narrower perspective that brings subjects forward while retaining enough background context — making it ideal for natural-looking portraits and environmental scenes. Its bright f/2 maximum aperture allows for excellent depth of field control and confident shooting in low light, all while maintaining a compact, travel-friendly form factor at just 72 x 59.7mm and approximately 405 grams.

Premium Optics and I Series Build Quality

Built as part of the Sigma I Series, the 65mm f/2 combines compactness, elegance, and performance in a robust all-metal body. It features internal focusing driven by a stepping motor, delivering fast and silent autofocus that’s suitable for both stills and video work. The optical design includes one SLD and two aspherical elements to control aberrations and deliver sharp, clean results, while a Super Multi-Layer Coating minimises flare and ghosting. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces soft, natural bokeh for isolating subjects. Other thoughtful details include knurled aperture and focus rings, a physical AF/MF switch, and both a standard and magnetic metal lens cap for convenience. With dust- and splash-resistant construction and a brass bayonet mount, this lens offers premium durability in a sleek, everyday-friendly design — a true expression of Sigma’s commitment to craftsmanship.
