The Sigma 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary is a telephoto prime lens that’s been available since 2020. When it was new, we took its E-mount version for a spin using the Sony A7R III, processing the images with Adobe Camera Raw. You can check out that original set of samples here:
This time, we’ve put together a larger batch of samples with the higher-resolution Panasonic S1R and the L-mount version of the 65mm F2. These new samples were processed in Capture One and you can download the Raw files to check out for yourself.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.
Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.
Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
