Sigma 35mm F/1.4 DG DN Sony E Art Series Lens

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Sony E Art Series is an Art-series prime characterized by its advanced and updated optical design, sleek profile, and bright design. The f/1.4 maximum aperture enables working in low-light conditions and also provides increased control over depth of field for achieving shallow depth of field effects.

This classic wide angle lens incorporates two SLD Special-Low Dispersion, one ELD Extra-Low Dispersion, and one FLD Low Dispersion elements. It also uses two aspherical elements and high refractive index elements to achieve a notable degree of clarity and sharpness with well-controlled distortion and aberrations. Also, a Super Multi-Layer Coating enhances image quality by suppressing lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity in strong lighting conditions.

Key Features of the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Sony E Art Series

• Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture well-suited for working in available light conditions and offers extensive control over depth of field
• Lens Construction: 15 elements in 11 groups, including one FLD low-dispersion element, one ELD extra-low dispersion element, two SLD special-low dispersion elements, and two aspherical elements
• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions
• Resistance coating allows oil and water to be easily wiped from the front lens surface and prevents oil and fat from sticking for easy cleaning
• Integrated stepping motor realizes quick and quiet internal autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance
• Face and eye detection AF is supported in feature enabled cameras
• Manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications
• Dedicated aperture ring lock switch prevents accidental shifting of the aperture setting
• Built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button which can be assigned additional functions
• Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality
• Weather-resistant construction with a brass bayonet that affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity

Exceptional Optical Performance

Central to the design of the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is its sophisticated optical performance thanks to 15 optical elements in 11 groups. With two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, an Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) element, an ‘F’ Low Dispersion (FLD) element and two aspherical elements, and as well as other high-performance glass, the lens’ advanced optical construction utilizes SIGMA’s state-of-the-art optical design technology, minimizing all types of aberration including axial chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected in-camera.

• 15 optical elements in 11 groups
• One FLD low-dispersion element
• One ELD extra-low dispersion element
• Two SLD special-low dispersion elements
• Two aspherical elements
• 11 rounded diaphragm blades,

In spite of having a very wide aperture of F1.4, the lens is able to control sagittal coma flare extremely well even wide open, stopping bright points of light from flaring out near the edges of the frame. This will be particularly appealing to night sky photographers. The lens also performs very well in backlit conditions thanks to SIGMA’s anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology, keeping shots with high contrast and free of excessive flare.

Fast & Quiet Autofocus

The focusing mechanism in the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art features a stepping motor that controls a focusing lens group composed of a single, lightweight element. This means the autofocus is responsive and quiet, and is able to keep track of moving objects very effectively. Manual focusing is smooth and precise, but with the right amount of resistance for film-makers.
