The best optical performance ever in the Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art series

Exceptional resolution across the entire image area even at maximum aperture
This completely new development with 15 elements in 12 groups is based on Sigma's latest optical design technology. The Lenses delivers an exceptionally detailed reproduction that surpasses that of the previous generations of the 35mm F1.4 Art series. By using new glass materials that were previously difficult to process, as well as four high-precision aspherical elements and two SLD glass elements, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art excellently suppresses aberrations. In particular, axial chromatic aberrations, which often occur in Lenses with large apertures. The strict standards of the Sigma Art series ensure excellent resolution over the entire image area, even at maximum aperture.

Intense and beautiful bokeh without color fringing
The thorough correction of axial chromatic aberration not only suppresses color fringing in the focal plane, but also in the out-of-focus areas. The Lenses thus produces a wonderfully natural bokeh. The aperture of the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art has 11 rounded aperture blades, which retain their rounded shape even when stopped down from the maximum aperture. In addition, the precision of the surface accuracy of the aspherical elements contributes to a soft and beautifully round bokeh.

Newly developed AAC coating (Advanced Amorphous Coating)
The newly developed AAC coating (Advanced Amorphous Coating) has an amorphous layer with a low refractive index. As a result, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art drastically reduces the reflections responsible for ghosting and flare, and the lens delivers exceptionally clear image quality with high contrast.

A sophisticated, compact and lightweight design

Compact, lightweight, uncompromising
By using a floating focus system, the Lenses achieves both even better optical performance and an even more compact and lightweight design. Compared to its predecessor, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art is around 30% lighter and 20% shorter. The mechanical design of the Lenses incorporates numerous space-saving innovations down to the smallest detail, ensuring truly uncompromising compactness and portability. This agility allows photographers to realize their creative visions.

Dual HLA drive for fast, quiet and precise autofocus
The Lenses utilizes Sigma's dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) drive, which easily manages to drive the large and heavy focus group with high power and speed. For a large aperture Lenses where the focus group tends to be heavier, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art delivers fast, accurate and quiet autofocus - for both stills and video. This allows the user to reliably capture decisive moments.

Designed for comfortable shooting of photos and videos

A durable, reliable tool for photographic expression
By assembling high-precision manufactured aluminum parts, TSC * and other materials, the Lenses achieves the high level of rigidity, durability and build quality. As expected from the Art series, it makes no compromises when it comes to handling. As a professional photographic tool, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art offers the reliability required for long-term use
.
*TSC(Thermally-Stable-Composite) is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminum. It has a high affinity to metal parts, which contributes to high-quality product manufacture.

Practical functions and equipment details
The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art offers two well-positioned AFL buttons, which can be assigned individual functions via the camera menu on compatible cameras. The lens also has the characteristic aperture ring for direct adjustment of the aperture on the Lenses including "click and de-click function" and lock switch* .
*If the lock switch is pressed while the aperture ring is set to A, the aperture ring is fixed to A. If the lock switch is pressed while the aperture ring is at an aperture setting other than A, the aperture ring can be rotated back and forth between the maximum and minimum aperture.

Minimized focus-breathing
The optimized arrangement of the focus group and the aspherical shape of the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art have made it possible to effectively suppress focus-breathing. This means that the angle of view remains virtually unchanged when focusing. This ensures a natural-looking focus shift during video recordings, which also makes the Lenses a good choice for professional video applications.

Dust protection, splashwater ^protection* and water and oil repellent coating
In addition to the dust and splash water-protected body*, the front lens of the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art has a water and oil repellent coating. Even in difficult shooting conditions, you can take pictures without worrying.
*The Lenses is dust and splash-proof, but not waterproof. Make sure that the Lenses does not come into complete contact with water. Water inside a lens can cause major damage and even make it irreparable.

Tulip-shaped lens hood with locking mechanism
The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art comes with a specially adapted, tulip-shaped lens hood that protects against stray light and thus reduces unwanted reflections. The lens hood is equipped with a locking button that ensures secure attachment and removal.
