Designed specifically for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, the Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens represents Sigma's inaugural prime lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.2. This lens excels in delivering outstanding image quality while maintaining an optimal size and weight. Its rapid f/1.2 aperture facilitates the creation of a shallow depth of field and highly selective focus effects, making it ideal for challenging lighting situations. The incorporation of three low dispersion glass elements and three aspherical elements, including one double-sided element, effectively mitigates spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in enhanced sharpness and precise image rendering.
In addition to its imaging prowess, the lens is equipped with a robust Hyper Sonic Motor, ensuring rapid, smooth, and silent autofocus performance, complemented by full-time manual focus override. The de-click switch on the aperture ring helps eliminate unwanted noise during video recording, while the built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button can be customized to expand the lens's operational capabilities. Furthermore, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of bokeh, contributing to aesthetically pleasing background blur.
- This lens, part of Sigma's Art line within the Global Vision series, is engineered to deliver exceptional optical performance, making it particularly suitable for creative and artistic endeavors. Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, it features Sigma's inaugural f/1.2 maximum aperture in a prime lens configuration, ensuring outstanding image quality while maintaining a compact size and lightweight design. Additionally, it is compatible with APS-C models, providing a focal length equivalent to 53mm.
- The constant f/1.2 maximum aperture is especially advantageous for shooting in low-light conditions, offering significant control over depth of field. The inclusion of three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements effectively minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing across the zoom range, enhancing clarity and color fidelity.
- Furthermore, three aspherical elements, including a double-sided aspherical lens, mitigate spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in heightened sharpness and precise image rendering. The large Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) facilitates rapid and silent autofocus, while also allowing for full-time manual focus adjustment by simply rotating the focus ring at any moment.
- The manual aperture ring can be de-clicked, enabling smooth and silent transitions in aperture settings, which is particularly beneficial for video recording. A built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button, which can be customized for additional functions, expands the operational capabilities of the lens. The rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect.
- Additionally, the front lens element is coated with a water- and oil-repellent treatment, enhancing its performance in challenging environmental conditions. The weather-resistant design, complemented by a brass bayonet, ensures improved mounting precision and durability.
