35mm F/1.2 (A) DG L- Mount Lens (Black) - SIGMA

Description
Great and even better: the exceptional resolving power and beautiful bokeh of Sigma´s world-leading 35mm F1.2 lens in a smaller, lighter body.
In 2019, Sigma launched the 35mm F1.2 DG DN/Art, the world´s first 35mm mirrorless camera lens with an F1.2 aperture. Six years later, Sigma is proud to introduce its successor, the 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art.

Designed and developed with Sigma´s latest technology, the 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art offers not only improved optical performance but also significantly increased portability, thanks to a significant reduction of approximately 30% in size. With its improved design, the lens delivers unparalleled rendering power, high-resolution clarity, and large, beautiful bokeh in a more portable form factor. Focus breathing is also effectively minimized, ensuring excellent results not only in still photography but also in video recording.

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art is an exceptional and uncompromising lens that strikes the perfect balance between optical performance, brightness, compact size, light weight, and ease of use.

Extreme Suppression of Chromatic Aberration and Sagittal Flare
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art offers even better optical performance than its predecessor, with brilliant clarity across the entire image, even wide open at F1. The use of SLD glass, a highly refractive glass with high anomalous dispersion, and four double-sided glass-molded aspherical elements completely corrects axial chromatic aberration and sagittal flare, significantly reducing the lens size.

Brilliant sharpness and the large, beautiful bokeh of an F1. 2
When designing the 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art, Sigma paid special attention to correcting the various optical aberrations that affect image quality. Thanks to these meticulous efforts, the lens delivers brilliant sharpness at the in-focus plane and beautiful bokeh that suppresses color bleeding and double-line bokeh. Photographers will appreciate the rich, expressive rendering qualities and the beautiful interplay between in-focus and out-of-focus areas, especially when shooting wide open at F1.2.

Designed to Minimize Focus Breathing
The optimized focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppress focus breathing. As a result, changes in the field of view are effectively suppressed when the focusing distance is changed, making the lens an ideal choice for professional video use.

Designed to Minimize Flare and Ghosting
Flare and ghosting, which degrade image quality, are addressed in all incident light conditions using the most advanced simulation technology. High resistance to backlighting allows for sharp, clear images in any lighting conditions.

Better Performance, Smaller Size, and Lighter Weight Thanks to the Floating Focus System
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art achieves even better optical performance than its predecessor, being approximately 30% lighter and 20% shorter. A key factor behind this is the adoption of a floating focus design: by allowing the lens groups to move independently of each other, the weight of each lens group has been significantly reduced while simultaneously improving optical performance. Furthermore, the improved optical design features four aspherical lens elements, high-refractive-index glass, and thinner lens elements, further contributing to its exceptional performance.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus with Dual HLA System
The dual HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) system drives each of the two focus groups by a separate linear motor. Furthermore, the use of multiple magnets in each motor allows for a compact focus unit design without sacrificing high thrust. Compared to conventional cam-driven systems, the dual HLA system is not only significantly lighter but also ensures fast, reliable, and quiet autofocus.

A Long-Lasting, Reliable Tool for Photographic Expression
Manufactured and assembled in Aizu, Japan, using high-precision parts made of aluminum, TSC, and other materials, the 35mm F1.2 DG II/Art is a sophisticated and durable photographic tool designed to the specifications of Sigma´s Art line.

A Variety of Shooting Assist Functions
The lens features an AFL button that can be assigned to a variety of functions on compatible cameras. Additionally, the aperture ring can be locked with the dedicated locking switch and changed from clickable to non-clickable with the dedicated click switch.

Dust- and splash-resistant construction and water- and oil-repellent coating
In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant construction, the front lens element features a water- and oil-repellent coating, allowing photographers to shoot worry-free even in harsh outdoor environments.

Petal-type Lens Hood with Locking Mechanism
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II / Art comes with a dedicated petal-type lens hood that shields the front element from stray light to reduce the possibility of unwanted flare. The hood attaches securely to the lens with a locking mechanism.
