Since introducing the 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art in 2012, Sigma has steadily increased the number of wide-aperture f/1.4 primes in its line-up. The well-received 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art continues to be one of the most popular third-party lenses for full-frame users and after releasing the stupendously sharp 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art in 2017, it was only a matter of time before Sigma developed a fast Art-series lens with a longer focal length.

The so-called ‘bokeh master', or 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, as it's more commonly known, becomes the company's flagship in the f/1.4 Art line. It falls into the wide-aperture, mid-telephoto-length category of lenses and has caused quite a stir among portrait and wedding photographers for whom it promises an amazing optical performance and topnotch build quality.
