SIGMA 35mm

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art (Sony E-mount) is one of the most celebrated prime lenses in modern photography. As the pioneer of Sigma’s “Art” line, it is engineered for extreme resolution and artistic expression. For the Sony E-mount version, Sigma optimized the autofocus algorithm to ensure native-level performance with Sony’s mirrorless systems, making it a favorite for environmental portraits, weddings, and street photography.

Key Features and Benefits
Outstanding Optical Resolution: Utilizes FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to minimize aberrations, delivering tack-sharp images even at f/1.4.

Bright f/1.4 Aperture: Provides exceptional low-light capability and a very shallow depth of field for professional-grade subject separation.

Artistic Bokeh: A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights, perfect for high-end portraiture.

Optimized AF for Sony E: Specifically tuned to support Sony’s advanced features, including Fast Hybrid AF, Eye-AF, and in-body image stabilization.

Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM): Ensures quick, quiet, and accurate focusing with full-time manual focus override for fine-tuning.

Rugged Build Quality: Features a brass bayonet mount and Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) materials for high durability in varying environments.

Important Considerations
Size and Weight: At approximately 665g (1.46 lbs), it is significantly larger and heavier than most native mirrorless 35mm f/1.8 alternatives.

No Physical Aperture Ring: Unlike the newer “DG DN” (mirrorless-exclusive) version, this “DG HSM” version relies on the camera body for aperture control.
