 Sigma Art line delivers high-level artistic quality   Sigma is organizing all its interchangeable lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art and Sports. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, Sigma's Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. Developed with the maximum emphasis on artistic touch, Art line lenses are designed to meet the expectations of users who value a creative, dramatic outcome above compactness and multifunction. Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, close-up and casual snaps, they're perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes. The SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the first lens from the Art line.   Compensate for color aberration to ensure unsurpassed expressive performance   Aberration is an important factor for the lens performance. To actualize a high-performance lens, one of the essential elements is aberration correction. When it comes to aberration, there are chromatic aberration of magnification and axial chromatic aberration. It is possible to correct the chromatic aberration of magnification in photo-editing software whereas axial chromatic aberration cannot be corrected afterwards. This lens incorporates FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite, and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements, and by optimizing the power alignment of the lens, both types of aberration have been corrected. The lens achieves ultra-high image quality through the entire focusing range. Also, by appropriate alignment of aspheric lenses, astigmatism and field curvature are corrected. The result is superior optimum resolution even in peripheral areas.   Large maximum aperture of F1.4   In 2005, Sigma released a lens that has aperture value F1.4 designed for digital SLRs, "SIGMA 30mm F1.4 EX DC HSM". Since then, Sigma has produced high-performance lenses by incorporating the latest optical technique, such as the standard lens designed for a full size image sensor, the SIGMA 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM and the medium telephoto lens with large aperture, SIGMA 85mm F1.4 EX DG HSM. This lens, SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, is Sigma's fourth lens that achieves extraordinary expressive power at the aperture value at F1.4. For wide angle photography, it ensures excellent brightness with the large F1.4 aperture and a beautiful bokeh effect.   Attractive blur effect   Correction of coma aberration enabled less blur on a point light source in peripheral areas, and the function is best used for astrophotography and illuminations. It is also possible to create an attractive blur to the out of focus areas. The aspheric lens elements used as the first lens have secured peripheral brightness while correcting distortion. The rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas of the image.   Floating inner focusing system   This system compensates for astigmatic aberration and spherical aberration and provides extremely high optical performance for close-up photos.   Flare and ghosting conscious design   In order to achieve high rendering on this flagship lens, flare and ghosting were thoroughly measured from an early stage to establish an optical design which is resistant to strong incident light such as backlight. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.   Hyper Sonic Motor   The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF as well as full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring. With the enhanced AF algorithm, smoother AF is achieved.   Brass made bayonet mount   This lens incorporates a brass made bayonet mount which has both high accuracy and durability. A special treatment to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term use   Ease of use   The new product lines incorporate rubber for the attachment part of the provided lens hood. For better usability, the design of the lens cap and AF / MF changeover switch have been improved. In order to ensure high accuracy of the product, all metallic parts and the new compound material, TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which has high affinity to metal parts, are housed internally.   Newly developed "USB DOCK" exclusively for new product lines   Based on these new lines, Sigma has developed special software (SIGMA Optimization Pro) that can update the lens firmware and adjust parameters such as focus.   Evaluation with Sigma's own MTF measuring system "A1"   Sigma used to measure lens performance with MTF measuring system using conventional sensors. However, Sigma has now developed its own proprietary MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of Sigma's quality control inspections. The SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM will all be checked using this "A1" before they are shipped.   "Made" in Japan   All Sigma's manufacturing right down to molds and parts is carried out under an integrated production system, entirely in Japan. Sigma is now one of the very few manufacturers whose products are solely "made in Japan". Sigma likes to think its products are somehow imbued with the essence of its homeland, blessed as it is with clean air and water, and focused, hard-working people. Sigma prides itself on the authentic quality of Sigma products, born of a marriage between highly attuned expertise and intelligent, advanced technology. Sigma's sophisticated products have satisfied professionals and lovers of photography all over the world, because its manufacturing is based on genuine craftsmanship, underpinned by the passion and pride of its experts.

I am highly impressed with the quality and reproductive capabilities of this lens. i should also tell you that my arsenal includes the Art 135mm f/1.4, the 85mm f/1.8, the 50mm f/1.4, the 28mm f/1.4 the 35mm f/1.4 and the 24mm f/1.4 i have found that these lens are incredibly sharp, speedy in focusing and produce great color saturation. Seldom do I shoot anything but manual and stopping these lens down of shooting them wide open does not matter. They are super. In addition, I have had occasion to deal with Sigma for maintenance issues and they are courteous, professional, and have the ability to turn your equipment quickly. It is extremely difficult for me to find shortcomings in any of the lens. Do not be afraid of the price. You get what you pay for with these tools. I highly recommend the entire Art line from Sigma.

Boom!!!! Sigma has hit a Grand Slam.

Lens is built like a tank, super sharp, contrasty with good colors, but the auto-focusing was garbage and wildly inaccurate, so I sold it years ago.  Even with adjusting in camera using a lens calibration tool, I could never get it spot on.  Really wanted to like/keep this lens primarily for wedding receptions/low light, but I couldn't trust it to produce in-focus images.

Owned it, sold it

Amazing lens! Very sharp and the bokeh is beautiful. My Sigma lenses are quickly becoming my favorites to use.

Amazing lens for the price

Great Lens! Super fast and crisp. I now love primes after using this one. Fast focus and moderately quiet

Great Lens

Super Lens, Very fast and clear. The focus is quick and is moderately quiet.

This is one of the best lenses I have ever purchased, the images are so clear and beautiful.

One of my best lenses

Amazing sharp lens! I use it all the time for family shoots and wedding receptions. It has become an essential go to in my gear bag!

awesome lens!

I debated on purchasing this lens as I have all red rings and love them but with a tight budget and after reading each review I went ahead and bought it. I?m so glad I did!!! It?s so crisp and clear, wish I?d bout long ago. It?s a must have for your glass collection.

Must Have

Just do it! If your on the fence jump! I have wanted this lens for a long time and finally justified buying it. This lens is THE LENS that will stay on my camera. Incredibly sharp. I?m not used to prime lens but having this one took no time to figure out. Plus it?s small and not heavy.

I wish I bought this years ago

My favorite lens for lifestyle shots. Hands down!

Rich images!

This was my first sigma lens and what made me addicted to the sigma primes. Awesome contrast and color. Super sharp. Love all the art series lenses I have had!

Awesome 35mm lens

Lens arrived well packaged, and in exceptional condition. I love the tack sharp images i get with this 35mm, it's a great lens to have at hand.

Great lens

Absolutely love this lens!!! Have adored using it for portraits and weddings. A must have in any photog bag.

10/10 would recommend

Love the quality of this lense, nice pics!

Great!

If you're looking for a cheaper version of the Canon USM 35mm then this is the one to get. It's super sharp and the autofocus works great - and the AF noise isn't that bad at all.

Much better bang for your book than the Canon USM version

Mine came with the Sigma Dock.  I was able to calibrate it with little effort.

The results are very satisfying.  

It cost way less than the Nikon, and exhibits reasonable sharpness at f/1.4.  It also has a handsome appearance.

I am very satisfied with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art lens.  It does justice to my Nikon D850.

Well worth the money.

I never thought I needed a 35 mm focal length in my bag and after shooting with the Sigma 35, I'm obsessed! Such an amazing addition to my kit.

This is the perfect addition to my kit!

Great lens. Tack sharp and focuses wicked quick!

Top tier 35mm prime lens

Perfect go to lens for any occasion. Wide enough but has the right amount of bokeh. Would recommend

35 mm Lens

Great lens I’ve used it now for five photos shoots now and five successful prints on a ecommerce website

Great captures

My second most used lens! This a sharp lens super reliable. Makes my newborn sessions look amazing! I can be within an arms reach of the baby.
