Sigma engineered this lens with four advanced aspherical elements and SLD glass to suppress chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare. The result is edge-to-edge sharpness and clean bokeh, even when shooting wide open at F1.2.
Nightscape and portrait shooters will appreciate the freedom to work at maximum aperture without sacrificing detail.
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is an exceptional, uncompromising lens that achieves the perfect balance of optical performance, brightness, compact size, light weight and ease of use.
An 11-blade rounded diaphragm preserves a circular bokeh shape across the aperture range.
Backgrounds blur smoothly with no color fringing or double-line artifacts, giving portraits, weddings, and cinematic video a natural, three-dimensional look.

Compared to its predecessor, the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is about 20% shorter and 30% lighter, with a reduced 72mm filter thread for practical use in the field.
Despite the brighter aperture, its footprint rivals the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, making it a truly portable F1.2 lens for full-frame systems.

A dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system drives two focus groups independently, delivering fast, quiet, and accurate AF.
The design keeps the lens compact while ensuring reliable performance for stills and smooth, responsive focus pulls in video.

The integrated aperture ring includes both a de-click switch for stepless adjustments and a lock to prevent accidental changes, ideal for filmmaking.
Floating focus minimizes focus breathing, preserving consistent framing during pulls.

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art features weather sealing, oil- and water-repellent coatings, customizable AFL button, and support for linear/non-linear focus ring response (L-Mount).
Each unit is tested using Sigma’s proprietary MTF system to ensure consistent optical quality.
