Pros: lens is super sharp, construction is well made, feels high quality, comes with padded case Cons: I struggled with autofocus at times with the even with the wide aperture, very heavy, doesn’t balance well on Ronin RSC2 (balances, but fails to keep balanced during operation)

The best 35mm you can get. Yes there’s a little vignetting at 1.2 but I typically add a little in post anyway. It’s big and heavy but that comes with the territory of quality glass. It’s super sharp, great contrast, colors and AF performance. Extremely recommended.

Sharp wide open at 1.2! An amazing lens. People complain about the weight but it doesn’t bother me.

I love this lens! I really enjoy shooting wide open and it's tack sharp on my Sony a9.

I’m a little concerned. Twice my camera alerted me that my lens was not attached when it actually was. Otherwise this lens is super awesome! The 1.2 aperture creates some great, high quality images. I also love the weight of this lens.

Simple an amazing lens! Performance wide open across the frame is fantastic. Beautiful smooth bokeh and well corrected aberrations. Autofocus is fast and accurate on my A7R iii and A9. My favorite 35mm of all time and I have tested everything available for Sony and even the Canon 35mm 1.4 L ii. nothing touches this lens!

I really love the way this lens draws. It's amazingly sharp across the frame with very little CA at 1.2. (Compared to my old Canon 1.2's) Auto Focus was fast and accurate, love all the GM like features on the lens like the Manual Aperture and Focus Hold buttons. The bokeh is dreamy and smooth. A very lovely lens for sure but not for me. It's just too big. I know I will never grab it except for an occasional artistic use. If you want the best 35mm lens for the e-mount, this might be it, but you have to be okay with the size.

So far this lens has provided excellent quality imagery in a variety of scenarios. It’s extremely sharp—the sharpest I’ve seen in some time. The bokeh rendering is beautiful and provides a nice 3D pop to subjects. Fringing is indeed present at 1.2, but it seems better than the two 35 1.4 counterparts. Heavy, but not unwieldy. I used it for some fast moving action shots yesterday and focus was pretty reliable.

Take your mirrorless to the next level benefit from the finest performance that the SIGMA's first F1.2 large aperture prime delivers.
Bringing the "pursuit of ultimate image quality" to the next level with an F1.2 Art line lens for mirrorless cameras.
First wide-angle AF lens with F1.2 maximum aperture for the full-frame Sony E-mount and L-Mount system. This lens enables a creation of artwork with astounding resolution and large bokeh effects, such as portraits that make use of a shallow depth of field. It brings the development concept of the Art line "pursuit of ultimate image quality" to the next level. While utilizing optical correction function inside the camera, aberrations that are difficult to post-process are thoroughly corrected thanks to the optical design and it thereby enhances resolution.
Product name includes "DG" when the lens is designed to deliver the ultimate in performance on cameras with full-frame sensors, and "DN" when the lens design is optimized for mirrorless cameras with the short flange focal length.
Newly developed high-performance lens series for full-frame mirrorless cameras
With mirrorless cameras emerging at an accelerated pace, expectations towards lenses suited for high-performance full-frame mirrorless cameras are growing. Unfortunately, many photographers may feel that they have little choices for mirrorless lens systems in terms of performance, size, extensive lineup, and due to the burden of having to use multiple systems. SIGMA has thus developed and proposes this new full-frame mirrorless lens series as the optimal solution to this challenge.
SIGMA will develop interchangeable lenses with unprecedented specifications and performance by designs that benefit from the short flange focal length feature of mirrorless cameras while retaining the concepts of "Contemporary", "Art", and "Sports". We will announce three models as the first lenses from this series.
35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art
The world's first 35mm F1.2 as L-Mount and Sony E-mount lens for full-frame mirrorless system. The high image quality of the Art line that pursues ultimate performance is realized by F1.2 maximum aperture.
SIGMA's First F1.2 maximum aperture, large-diameter prime lens
The "Art line in the age of mirrorless cameras" pursues ultimate performance as a large-diameter lens with a focal length of 35mm and also achieves a maximum aperture of F1.2. Three SLD glass elements and three aspherical lenses including a double-sided aspherical lens are optimally arranged in a lens construction of 17 elements in 12 groups.
In addition to the optical design that makes use of the characteristic of the short flange focal length, it effectively takes advantage of the correction function inside the camera to correct distortion and peripheral illumination. Various aberrations that are difficult to correct by post-processing, such as sagittal coma flare, are thoroughly corrected by the compilation of the optical design technologies that SIGMA has cultivated, achieving an overwhelming resolution that can resolve over 50 million pixels.
High operability that supports various shooting situations in both still and video
In autofocus photography, comfortable shooting for a F1.2 large-diameter lens is achieved by the large hyper sonic motor (HSM) that gets desired torque required to drive the focus lens group. In manual focus photography, the focus ring driven by the focus-by-wire system with the optimized torque setting responds to fine operations of the photographer.
The aperture ring is also mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks by the Click ON/OFF Switch, enabling seamless operations that are especially useful such as during video shooting. Furthermore, the AFL button which can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.
Substantial functions enable user confidence, even in tough environments
The lens features the dust- and splash-proof structure additionally with the water- and oil-repellent coating on the frontmost surface of the lens, which also supports shooting in various environments.
Features
Compatible with Lens Aberration Correction
Matching the optical characteristics of the lens, this function performs in-camera corrections of peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, distortion, and more, to further enhance image quality.
High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
Fast AF with full-time manual focus
Full-time manual focus function allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus ring.
Note: The operation of full-time MF may vary based on mount type.
High-speed AF
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF.
Rounded diaphragm (11-blade)
The 11-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount
The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
Hood with lock
Features a hood with lock to prevent dropping the hood.
