Wideangle wins
Much of the time, we
think of a medium

ideal for people
pictures, but this
wideangle shot
disproves that claim.

Portraits can choose products of up
to £1,000 in value (based on Sigma’s
RRP) as their prize. If the winner’s choice
of lens is above this amount, they can
choose to pay the difference.
If portraits are your thing, then Sigma
has a number of lenses to suit your
needs. These include the 50mm F1.4
DG HSM Art (£749.99, above left),
which – with its outstanding, natural
bokeh and minimal optical aberrations- sets a new standard for 50mm lenses.
The 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art (RRP
£1,199.99, above right) has 14
elements in 12 groups, achieves an
exceptional optical performance, and
received a well-deserved fi ve stars
and a gold award when reviewed last
year in Amateur Photographer.
