Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art Lens for L Mount

The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II Art is the evolution of an essential prime, with enhanced performance and a more compact design. This lens is built for creatives pursuing high-quality images across many genres.

Compact and light lens

This Sigma lens is the perfect size, keeping any camera light, even during long shooting days. In fact, it measures 14% shorter and weighs 20% less than the previous model.

Advanced amorphous lens coating

Sigma's new anti-reflective coating cuts down on unwanted glares and ghosting, delivering exceptionally clear, high-contrast image quality.

Improved close-up performance

This lens is perfect for intimate portraits or tight product photography, capturing exceptionally sharp details and beautiful background blur.

Rich and beautiful bokeh

By thoroughly correcting axial chromatic aberration, the lens suppresses color fringing not only in the in-focus plane but also in out-of-focus areas, producing beautifully natural bokeh.

Dual HLA autofocus motors

Powered by two High-response Linear Actuator or HLA motors, this lens locks onto fast-moving subjects instantly and silently so you never miss a crucial moment.

Customizable AFL buttons

Two strategically placed autofocus lock buttons give you programmable custom control right at your fingertips, for faster shooting on the fly.

Suppressed focus breathing

When you change focus while recording video, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II prevents that distracting background zooming effect to keep your cinematic footage looking completely smooth.

Dust and splash-resistant build

You can shoot confidently in tough outdoor conditions because this durable lens features specialized weather sealing that tightly blocks out dust and moisture.

The best optical performance ever in Sigma's 35mm F1.4 Art line

Exceptional resolution across the entire frame from maximum aperture
Built on Sigma's latest optical design technology, the completely redesigned 15-element, 12-group construction delivers extraordinarily detailed rendering that surpasses previous generations of 35mm F1.4 Art line lenses. By incorporating new glass materials that were previously difficult to process, together with four high-precision aspherical elements and two SLD glass elements, the lens thoroughly suppresses aberrations, particularly axial chromatic aberration, which is often prominent in large-aperture lenses.

Sigma's rigorous Art line standards ensure outstanding resolution across the entire frame, even at maximum aperture.

Rich and beautiful bokeh without color bleeding
By thoroughly correcting axial chromatic aberration, the lens suppresses color fringing not only in the in-focus plane but also in out-of-focus areas, producing beautifully natural bokeh. The lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, which maintains a round shape even when stopping down from maximum aperture. In addition, by refining the surface accuracy of the aspherical elements to the highest level, the lens enables smooth and beautifully round bokeh.

Newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating)
The newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating) features a low-refractive-index amorphous layer that dramatically reduces reflections responsible for ghosting and flare, delivering exceptionally clear, high-contrast image quality.

A refined compact and lightweight design

Pursuing uncompromising compactness and lightness
By adopting a floating focus system, the lens achieves both enhanced optical performance and a more compact, lightweight design. Compared to the previous model -the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, it is approximately 14% shorter and 20% lighter. The mechanical design incorporates numerous space-saving innovations down to the smallest details, ensuring truly uncompromising compactness and portability. This agility empowers photographers to pursue their creative vision.

Fast and quiet autofocusing with dual HLA system
The lens employs Sigma's dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system, which drives its large and heavy focus group with high power and speed. Even as a large-aperture lens where the focus group tends to become heavier, it delivers fast, accurate, and quiet AF for both stills and video-ensuring that the user can capture decisive moments reliably.

Designed for comfortable shooting of both stills and video

A long-lasting, reliable tool for photographic expression
By assembling high-precision parts made of aluminum, TSC, and other materials, the lens achieves the high level of rigidity, durability, and build quality expected of the Art line without compromising portability. As a photographic tool, it offers the reliability needed for long-term use.

Various shooting assist functions
The lens is equipped with an AFL button in two locations, which can be assigned to a range of functions via the menu on selected cameras. In addition to the aperture ring, the lens is equipped with an aperture ring lock switch and a click switch to turn the click on and off.

Designed to minimize focus breathing
Optimization of the focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppresses focus breathing. The change in angle of view due to focus shift is minimized, creating a natural-looking focus shift when recording video.

Dust and splash-resistant structure and water and oil-repellent coating
In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the frontmost surface of the lens has a water- and oil-repellent coating applied, so that the lens can be used safely even in harsh outdoor environments.

Petal-type hood with locking mechanism
The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art comes with a dedicated petal-type hood that shields the front element from stray light to reduce the chances of unwanted flare. The hood attaches securely to the lens with a locking mechanism.
