Designed and engineered with Sigma’s latest technology, the 35mm F1.2 DG DN II Art is an exceptional and uncompromising lens. It not only delivers improved optical performance but also achieves greatly enhanced portability with a size reduction of approximately 30%. This improved design provides unparalleled rendering power, high-resolution clarity, and large, beautiful bokeh in a more portable form. Focus breathing has also been effectively minimised, ensuring outstanding results for both still photography and video. This lens strikes a perfect balance of optical performance, brightness, compact size, light weight, and ease of use.

This lens is an ideal choice for video professionals, as it’s designed to minimise focus breathing. Through optimisation of the focus group and aspherical shape, changes in the field of view are effectively suppressed as you adjust your focus. It also features a dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system, which uses two individual linear motors to drive the focus groups. This system not only guarantees fast, reliable, and quiet autofocusing but also allows for a compact design without sacrificing power. Furthermore, the lens is engineered to minimise flare and ghosting under all lighting conditions, using advanced simulation technology to ensure it delivers clear, sharp images even in strong backlight.

Exclusively for mirrorless cameras
Compatible with full-frame cameras

In 2019, Sigma released the 35mm f/1.2 DG DN | Art, the world’s first 35mm mirrorless camera lens with an f/1.2 aperture. Six years later, Sigma is proud to introduce its successor, the 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art.

Designed and engineered with Sigma’s latest technology, the 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art oers not only improved optical performance, but also greatly enhanced portability thanks to a significant size reduction of approximately 30%. With its improved design, the lens delivers unparalleled rendering power, high-resolution clarity and large, beautiful bokeh in a more portable form. Focus breathing is also eectively minimized, ensuring outstanding results not only in still photography, but also when shooting video.

The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II | Art is an exceptional, uncompromising lens that achieves the perfect balance of optical performance, brightness, compact size, light weight and ease of use.

Extreme suppression of chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art oers 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 aect image quality. Thanks
to these meticulous eorts, 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 eectively 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, TSC*1 and other materials, the 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is a sophisticated and durable photographic tool designed according to Sigmas Art line specifications.

*1 TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminum. It has a high anity to metal parts, which contributes to high quality product manufacturing.

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 structure*2 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.

*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.

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.
