Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E

The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens is specifically designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, offering Sigma’s first prime lens with an impressive f/1.2 maximum aperture. This lens delivers exceptional image quality while also considering size and weight optimization. The fast f/1.2 aperture enables shallow depth of field and selective focus effects, making it perfect for capturing artistic shots and working in challenging lighting conditions. The lens incorporates three low dispersion glass elements and three aspherical elements, including a double-sided element, to effectively control spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in enhanced sharpness and accurate rendering.

In addition to its outstanding imaging capabilities, the lens features a large Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance, with the ability for full-time manual focus override. The aperture ring includes a de-click switch to prevent unwanted noise during video recording, and there’s also an Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button that can be assigned additional functions, expanding the range of operations available on the lens. Furthermore, the lens boasts a rounded 11-blade diaphragm, which contributes to a beautiful bokeh quality in the out-of-focus areas of an image.

As part of Sigma’s Art line in the Global Vision series, this lens is engineered to deliver outstanding optical performance and is particularly 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 53mm equivalent focal length.
