Sigma - 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art Lens for Sony E - Black
About this product
High optical performance Exceptionally well-corrected chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flareThrough the use of SLD glass, high refractive index glass with high anomalous dispersion characteristics, and four glass-molded double-sided aspheric lenses, this lens achieves correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare, resulting in both a significant size reduction and enhanced optical performance.Compared to the previous model, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art, which has an established reputation for performance, the new lens offers improved performance across a wider area from the center of the image, allowing photographers to make full use of its F1.2 maximum aperture.Beautiful bokehThorough correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare contributes not only to the sharpness of the image plane but also to the bokeh effect. The lens delivers beautiful bokeh without color fringing, double-line bokeh, or any other irregularities from its maximum aperture. The 11-blade rounded diaphragm maintains a circular bokeh shape even when the aperture is stopped down. Compact and lightweightAdvanced optical and mechanical designThanks to the optical and mechanical design incorporating the latest technology, the new 35mm F1.2 II DG | Art is significantly smaller and lighter than the previous model, the 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art. The filter diameter has been reduced by two sizes, from Diameter 82mm to 72mm, the overall length has been shortened by approximately 20%, and the weight has been reduced by approximately 30%. Compared to the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, this is a compact F1.2 large-aperture wide-angle lens that has achieved almost the same overall length despite having a brighter F-number. The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art achieves optical performance surpassing that of previous models by adopting a floating focus configuration that moves two focus groups independently. Furthermore, by using four aspherical elements and glass with a high refractive index, and through making each lens element thinner.The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art adopts the dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system that drives each of the two focus groups with individual linear motors. In addition, the use of multiple magnets in each motor enables a compact design for the focus unit while maintaining high thrust. Compared to conventional cam-driven systems, this is significantly lighter, and at the same time enables fast and quiet autofocusing.Incorporation of an aperture ring and minimal focus breathingAs with previous models, an aperture ring is provided for intuitive aperture setting operation. The aperture ring is equipped with a click switch, which allows smooth aperture adjustment with the click turned off during video recording. An aperture ring lock switch, not included on the 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art, has also been added to prevent accidental shifting to the A position during aperture operation. The floating focus minimizes focus breathing, making the lens suitable for video recording.

The best optical performance ever in Sigma's 35mm F1.4 Art lineExceptional resolution across the entire frame from maximum apertureBuilt 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 bleedingBy 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 designPursuing uncompromising compactness and lightnessBy 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 systemThe 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 videoA long-lasting, reliable tool for photographic expressionBy 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 functionsThe 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 breathingOptimization 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 coatingIn 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 mechanismThe 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.
The 35mm F1.4 GM features a superior optical design, including two XA (Extreme Aspherical) elements and an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element that deliver outstanding corner-to-corner resolution, even wide open. The 11-blade circular F1.4 aperture mechanism creates beautiful bokeh that is a hallmark of the G Master series. Fast focusing is attained through the XD (Extreme Dynamic) linear focus drive system. This lens sports class-leading size and weight, providing great handling and mobility.
