Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Sigma 65mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary is a short-telephoto I-series prime with an all-metal build, f/2 aperture, and compact form factor suited to everyday use.  Professional reviews report very high sharpness even wide open, good flare/coma control, and solid construction, with trade-offs including visible distortion (typically corrected in-camera), some vignetting/LoCA and occasionally busy bokeh, plus a heftier feel than its size suggests.  As of Sep 14 2025, user sentiment on forums is broadly positive—owners praise sharpness, build, and the 65mm rendering, while noting AF speed and weight relative to alternatives as common concerns.

From Sigma:

AN EXTENSION OF YOUR CREATIVE VISION.

The ultra-sharp I series Sigma 65mm F2 DG | Contemporary. A compact, short telephoto prime that offers a stunning photographic experience for mirrorless users.

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