Sigma Art 85mm f/1.2 DG 85mm

82.9 Portrait Score
85mm f/1.2 L-Mount
Why we recommend this

Featuring an f/1.2 maximum aperture and dual HLA-driven autofocus, this 85mm prime lens delivers razor-thin depth of field and fast, silent focusing for L-Mount portraits. Its 14-element optical design maintains sharpness wide open, with a 9-blade diaphragm rendering smooth bokeh. Portrait photographers seeking uncompromising subject isolation will find it ideal, though the 1130g weight limits travel use.

Sigma Contemporary 56mm F1.4 DC DN 21-50mm

47.7 Portrait Score
21-50mm 6.3 Fujifilm G-Mount
Why we recommend this ▼

The constant F1.8 maximum aperture across its 18-35mm zoom range delivers exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field control uncommon in zoom lenses. Its robust, all-metal construction and HSM autofocus provide a tactile, precise shooting experience that feels purpose-built for reliability. This lens is best for portrait and event photographers using APS-C DSLRs who need a fast, versatile zoom to replace multiple primes.
