Sigma 370965 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art Lens For Sony E-Mount

Redefine Creative Possibilities with the Sigma 35mm F/1.2 DG II | Art Lens

Experience the unmatched clarity and artistry that the Sigma 35mm F/1.2 DG II | Art brings to your photography. Building upon the legacy of its groundbreaking predecessor, this advanced full-frame lens now delivers improved optical performance and portability in a lighter, more compact body—perfect for both professional and enthusiast creators. Available for L-Mount and Sony E-Mount systems, the lens offers high-resolution rendering power and the renowned F1.2 brightness for exquisite, smooth bokeh in every shot.

Exceptional Image Quality and Professional Design
Crafted with Sigma’s latest technology, the 35mm F/1.2 DG II | Art sports a sophisticated optical formula featuring 17 elements in 13 groups, including SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and aspherical lenses. This construction ensures beautifully sharp images with pronounced depth, while effectively minimizing chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare. Whether capturing portraits, landscapes, or low-light scenes, this lens promises exceptional clarity across the frame.

Engineered for Photographers and Videographers
Sigma’s reimagined design reduces the lens size by approximately 30% compared to the original, making it easier to carry and handle on demanding shoots. The 11-rounded-blade diaphragm creates large, smooth bokeh for a striking artistic effect, while focus breathing is minimized for seamless video performance. With a minimum focusing distance of just 28cm and a maximum magnification of 1:5.3, this lens invites you to explore creative perspectives up close or from a distance.

Features

• Extreme Suppression Of Chromatic Aberration And Sagittal Coma Flare
  The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art offers even better optical performance than its predecessor, with brilliant clarity throughout the image, even at the fully open F1.2 aperture. The use of SLD glass, highly refractive glass with high anomalous dispersion, and four glass-molded double-sided aspherical elements thoroughly corrects axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare, while significantly reducing the lens size.
• Brilliant Sharpness And The Large, Beautiful Bokeh Of An F1.2 Aperture
  In 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 of 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 the in-focus and out-of-focus areas, especially when shooting wide open at F1.2.
• Designed To Minimize Focus Breathing
  Optimization of the focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppresses focus breathing. As a result, changes in 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 reduce image quality, are addressed under all conditions of incident light, based on the most advanced simulation technology. High backlight resistance enables clear and sharp images under 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 while 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 enhancing optical performance. Additionally, 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 Autofocusing With Dual HLA System
  The dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system drives each of the two focus groups by an individual linear motor. In addition, 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 guarantees fast, reliable and quiet autofocusing.
• A Long-lasting, Reliable Tool For Photographic Expression
  Manufactured and assembled in Aizu, Japan, using high-precision parts made of aluminum, TSC¹ and other materials, the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is a sophisticated and durable photographic tool designed according to Sigma’s Art line specifications.
• A Wealth Of Shooting Assist Functions
  The lens features an AFL button that can be assigned a variety of functions on compatible cameras. In addition, the aperture ring can be locked with the dedicated lock switch and changed from clicked to declicked with the dedicated click switch.
• Dust- And Splash-resistant Structure² And Water- And Oil-repellent Coating
  In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the front element of the lens features a water- and oil-repellent coating, allowing photographers to shoot without concerns even in harsh outdoor environments.
• Petal-type Hood With Locking Mechanism
  The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art comes with a dedicated petal-type hood that shields the front element from stray light to reduce the chance of unwanted flare. The hood attaches securely to the lens with a locking mechanism.
  

Footnotes:

• ¹TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminum. It has a high affinity to metal parts, which contributes to high quality product manufacturing.
• ² The structure is designed to be dust and splash resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable.
