85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM

Sigma’s New 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM lens is a large aperture medium telephoto lens optimized for use with digital SLR cameras and is especially ideal for portrait and low light photography. Designed with SLD glass and a glass mold element excellent color correction is achieved for all types of aberrations and superior optical performance is ensured. It is equipped with a rear focus system that minimized fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing and the Super Multi Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting even in backlight photography. HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed autofocus capability and the round 9 blade diaphragm creates pleasant out-of-focus highlights. It comes with a Petal-type hood to block out extraneous light. For digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor, a dedicated hood adapter, which expands the length of the lens hood is supplied and enables the hood to block out extraneous light more effectively.

  Photo Notes: The Maasai of Tanzania are a tribe almost 2 million strong. Their traditional way of life is being threatened by western culture and consumerism. although most Maasai are happy to take a dollar and have their photo taken, many still feel that a camera steals a portion of their soul, or life force. This beautiful Maasai mother, who had brought her child to a school for developmentally disabled children just outside of Arusha, felt a tinge of embarrassment at first sign of my camera. This is the first of several portraits I shot of her, with permission of course, as we built an ongoing relationship between shooter and subject. Her tenacious being shines through in this photo, even though we cannot see her face.
