Sorry no deal!



When determining a price look up used prices on KEH, Adorama, B&H, or "sold" listings on E-Bay.
Post photos here so we can see the actual item you're selling.

Also, use the "Quote Reply" option, as I did here, when responding to a person so they'll know where it's directed.

In very good condition. Fantastic portrait lens that gives you very shallow depth of field with nicely blurred backgrounds.
Just got it back from Sigma for a firmware update to work with my Nikon D800/810 after I upgraded to the recent Nikon version. Works with the FTZ adapter on mirrorless Nikons as well. Caps, lens hood, Sigma case and filter included.

"Sigma's 85mm F1.4 Ex DG (full-frame) HSM lens is a large aperture medium telephoto lens optimized for use with digital SLR cameras and is especially ideal for portrait and low light photography.

Designed with SLD glass and a glass mold element, excellent color correction is achieved for all types of aberrations and superior optical performance is ensured. It is equipped with a rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing and the Super Multi Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting even in backlight photography.

HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed autofocus capability and the round 9 blade diaphragm creates pleasant out-of-focus highlights."


Note: This is not the "Art" version.

Reason for selling: I've moved to mirrorless. (B&H has a used on for sale for $579 at the moment.)

Will include shipping to ConUS.
Original Sigma case included.

I have researched to find that out, but even Sigma USA does not specify whether it is FX or DX.

Alvin provided a link that gives good information.



It's a DG lens...Full-Frame

Pentax 6x7. What many call the pinnacle of 6x7 MF cameras. It is very SLR like, has auto focus and many nice features.


Uhhh, that's a no. The 6x7 never had autofocus.
The Pentax 645N models did/does.
Maybe you were thinking about that one.
I had a Pentax 6x7 for a while.
An upscaled 35mm design with some great lenses.
Unfortunately, my hands were not as big as those of Andre the Giant.

I have a Rollei, the first time I saw the Mamiya I was amazed at how much larger it was.

Yep, a huge difference.
The Mamiya has the gearing track for the bellows focusing and the film transport design is straight, unlike almost all the rest of the TLR's, which have an "L" path which makes them more compact.

Most TLR's: Rollei, Yashica, Minolta...early Mamiyaflex


Mamiya C series and later Mamiyaflex models


That Rollei looks tiny! (but beautiful)

Thank you for the detailed response. Most of those are out of my budget range at this point, but it was good to see the recommendations. Looking them up gave me a good overview of some medium format basics. I’m probably looking at something in a TLR at this point if I can find a clean one that is not coming from overseas. I’ve seen a number of them advertised from Japan, but I have always limited my purchases to the US.


Contrary to advice previously given about TLR's, Mamiya twin lens reflexes do have interchangeable lenses.
The C-330 was my first medium format camera and I had several lenses: 80 normal, 180 tele & the 55 wide angle.
Bellows focusing allows for very close focusing if you can get around the parallax issue.
Mamiya made a "Paramender" to assist.
The C-330 had an indicator in the viewfinder to tell you where the top of the frame would be when focused close.
In normal, everyday use, parallax wasn't much of an issue.

I'll give you $60, like I offered in your other post and private message.
You can keep the softbox and flash extender.

Sounds like your other deal fell through.
I'll buy it for $60 with shipping.
I need a good back-up speedlight.

A photo or two would help

No mirrors from what I read and the ones I have seen they are all range finders

Glad you edited your title- but it did bring a smile for a bit.
(unless Kimberly-Clark has entered the photography market)

18-400?
That's a really long and handy range that's probably full of compromises, but they keep getting better.
Will be interested in reading user reviews.
