- The best optical performance ever in Sigma’s 35mm F1.4 Art line
- A refined, compact, and lightweight design
- Designed for comfortable shooting of both stills and video
What our Experts Think
-
Class‑leading optical performance: Redesigned optical layout with 15 elements in 12 groups delivers exceptional sharpness, contrast and edge‑to‑edge resolution even at maximum f/1.4, setting a new benchmark for 35 mm primes.
-
Compact & lighter than before: The Mark II version is ~14% smaller and ~20% lighter than its predecessor while improving image quality, making it better balanced on full‑frame mirrorless bodies.
-
Beautiful bokeh & smooth rendering: 11‑blade rounded diaphragm plus advanced aberration control yield creamy out‑of‑focus backgrounds with minimal color fringing — ideal for portraits, street, landscapes and creative work.
-
Fast, responsive AF: Dual High‑response Linear Actuator autofocus and floating focus system keep focus accurate and quick across the focusing range, helping both stills and video shooters.
-
Video‑friendly refinements: New optical design, minimized focus breathing and a refined mechanical layout make this lens excellent for hybrid shooters balancing photo and video.
-
Excellent everyday prime: This 35 mm focal length with a bright F1.4 aperture makes it versatile for low‑light, environmental portraits, travel, events and documentary photography.
-
Considerations: No optical stabilization on the lens itself — rely on in‑body stabilization when available for handheld low‑light work.
