Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art Lens (Sony E)

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art is a ground-up reimagining of the lens that originally defined the Art series. This second-generation wide-angle prime is faster, sharper, and significantly more portable than its predecessor. By combining a classic, versatile focal length with a bright f/1.4 aperture and cutting-edge HLA focusing technology, Sigma has created the ultimate “all-around” lens for high-resolution stills and professional videography.

Redefined Optics & Elite Clarity
Advanced Glass Layout: The revised optical design features four aspherical and two SLD elements. This combination virtually eliminates distortion and chromatic aberrations, delivering breathtaking resolution from the center to the corners of the frame.

AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating): Sigma’s newly developed coating technology features a low-refractive-index layer that outperforms traditional coatings at suppressing flare and ghosting, ensuring deep contrast even in challenging backlight.

Exquisite Bokeh: An 11-blade rounded diaphragm works in tandem with the corrected optics to produce exceptionally smooth, natural background blur and perfectly circular out-of-focus highlights.

Dual HLA-Driven Autofocus
High-Response Linear Actuator (HLA): The dual HLA system provides lightning-fast focus switching and tenacious tracking of moving subjects. It is significantly more responsive and quieter than previous motors.

Optimized for Video: The focus group placement has been engineered to drastically reduce focus breathing, ensuring a consistent angle of view during focus pulls—a critical feature for filmmakers.

Floating Focus System: Maintains tack-sharp performance across the entire range, from a close 11″ minimum focus all the way to infinity.

Pro-Level Handling & Build
More Portable Art: Thanks to more efficient engineering, this Version II lens is 14% smaller and 20% lighter than the original, weighing just 1.2 lb. It is a much more balanced choice for all-day street photography or gimbal work.

Tactile Exposure Control: A dedicated manual aperture ring allows for direct control. It features a de-click switch, making it ideal for silent iris adjustments during video recording.

Rugged & Reliable: Built with dust- and splash-resistant seals, the lens is ready for inclement weather. The front element is treated with a water- and oil-repellant coating for easy cleaning.
