Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens is a classic wide-angle lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless systems. It features an advanced and updated optical design, a sleek profile, and a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture. The wide aperture allows for shooting in low-light conditions and offers greater control over depth of field, making it ideal for achieving shallow depth of field effects. The lens incorporates two SLD (Special-Low Dispersion), one ELD (Extra-Low Dispersion), and one FLD (Low Dispersion) elements, as well as two aspherical elements and high refractive index elements. This combination ensures exceptional clarity, sharpness, and well-controlled distortion and aberrations. Additionally, the Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and color fidelity, especially in strong lighting conditions.

The lens’s exterior design is refined and includes a physical aperture ring that can be de-clicked or locked, along with a dedicated focus mode switch and an AFL (Autofocus-Lock) button for intuitive and tactile control. The autofocus system utilizes a stepping motor, which maintains a compact and lightweight design while delivering fast and near-silent focusing performance suitable for both stills and video shooting. The lens also features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, ensuring smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. Additionally, the lens housing is weather-sealed, providing protection for shooting in challenging weather conditions.

As part of Sigma’s Art line in the Global Vision series, this lens is specifically designed to deliver exceptional optical performance and is well-suited for creative and artistic applications. It is compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras and can also be used with APS-C models, providing a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
