Portrait photographers wax poetically on nifty fifties, but I love to go a bit longer for even creamier bokeh – which is why I took note when Sigma announced that it’s working on a new 85mm portrait prime.
The Sigma 85mm f/1.2 DG Art doesn’t exist yet – unless you’re lucky enough to happen to be at the CP+ Show in Japan, where a prototype is on display – but it’s officially slated for arrival in September 2026.
