The ultra-sharp I-series SIGMA 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary. A short and compact telephoto main device that offers a Amazing photo experience for mirrorless users.

The SIGMA I Series features compact, beautifully designed, high-performance optics for mirrorless camera systems. In its first collection, SIGMA introduces a high-spec everyday lens for the Contemporary lens lineup, which combines excellent resolving power with a small body that is perfectly weighted for mirrorless systems. Long supported by photography lovers and even used to make movies, a 65mm lens allows for a slightly more compressed perspective than standard lenses, opening up a variety of creative approaches to photography and filmmaking. The ultra-sharp 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary can capture extremely fine detail, even wide open at its maximum aperture of F2, and produces both round and large bokeh. In addition, its all-metal body, which is a feature on all I-series lenses, and the design with great care for the touch and even how delicious the sound is made during operation will make the lens a joy to use and own.

Series I | A new photographic experience, "Premium Compact Primes" for mirrorless users

The SIGMA I series features full-frame-compatible lenses that offer mirrorless users a new and better alternative, both in the experience of shooting with the lens and the impressive results it is capable of achieving. One of the main advantages of mirrorless cameras is their smaller form factor, and this new 65mm optic is designed to be perfectly compatible with these more compact systems, without sacrificing performance. This combination of excellent optical quality with exceptional portability, which was not previously possible with DSLR systems, will bring new opportunities for this and future generations of photographers. At the same time, SIGMA is aware that in this day and age where we have such a diversity in what we use to photograph, represented by smartphones, people are looking for something more than just a "snapshot" act when choosing. have a camera and lenses. SIGMA's excellence in development and processing technologies has been built since its founding in 1961 and has become even more sophisticated with the introduction of the SIGMA Global Vision in 2012. With this as a foundation, SIGMA thought carefully about how photographers use and enjoy their lenses, including optical design, advanced functionality, build quality, and the experience of picking up and using the lenses, and with all of this carefully considered, the I-series was born.

 New Optical Performance Standards for the Contemporary line

The 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary brings to the table the highest level of optical performance with a maximum aperture of F2 with a lens body of a size that matches a mirrorless system.

Axial chromatic aberration, which tends to be noticeable with mid-range and telephoto lenses and cannot be effectively reduced in-camera, is completely corrected with the use of SLD glass, allowing you to capture sharp details. A pair of glass-molded aspherical lenses are used to correct spherical and comate aberration, as well as astigmatism, while helping to decrease the size of the lens setup. A combination of the latest optical design with advanced processing technology that brings the former to life gives the 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, its excellent optical performance and its compact size.

In addition to the beautiful bokeh effect, thanks to spherical aberration control, reduced vignette effects help contain lime-shaped or wavy bokeh and provide photographers with greater control over the out-of-focus areas of their images. On top of all this, the SIGMA standard's anti-ghosting and anti-glare technology ensures cutting-edge performance in backlight conditions.

* Mold for aspherical glass molded lenses

Use of multiple high-precision aspherical glass molded lenses

The surface of molds for glass molding, which is a process that forms optical components by pressing glass materials at high temperatures, requires very high precision. SIGMA uses high-precision molds whose surfaces are controlled with an accuracy of ± 5 nanometers (0.000005 mm) or smaller. High-precision aspherical glass molded lenses have good aberration correction and a compact lens size.

Exceptional build quality of the I-series with a compact form factor

The IAll I series lenses have an all-metal construction. The precision-cut aluminum parts not only provide the barrel with a sleek and modern finish, but also offer excellent durability, which improves the quality of the entire product. Metal materials are also used in internal structures that slide with the operating ring for added robustness. These high-precision components created with metallurgy technology SIGMA's high-end lenses are also used in SIGMA's line of cinema lenses for professional videographers and provide an exquisite sense of touch and sound effects, making photographers want to reach for it and play with it over and over again.

The cover ring between the focus ring and aperture ring features scalp processing that is also used for the rear barrel of the Art line.

Magnetic Metal Lens Cap

The 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, the 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary and  the 24mm F3.5 DG DN | The contemporary I-series are accompanied by a dedicated magnetic metal lens cap in addition to a regular plastic cap. This dedicated metal cap magnetically attaches to the front surface of the lens. It's no exaggeration to say that this meticulously crafted cap represents the finishing touch to the series I.

* Cannot be used when a filter is connected.
 

When Magnetic Metal Lens Cap Holder (Sold Separately)

The cap is removed from the lens, it must have an appropriate place to be stored. Using this as a starting point, a cap holder using the magnetic force of the dedicated cap was created. With the cap attached to the ring plate and the plate attached to a bag or belt, the cap is always within reach and is less likely to get lost. Plus, its sleek design is a sophisticated addition to a photographer's gear.
