SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art Lens Announced

Sigma has announced their latest 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens designed for both Sony E-mount and Sigma’s L-mount.

The lens has been designed exclusively for use with mirrorless cameras and weighs in at just 645 g / 22.75 oz and measures 75.5 mm in diameter × 109.5 mm in length.

The lens is constructed of 15 elements in 11 groups , incorporating two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements, an Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) element, an ‘F’ Low Dispersion (FLD) element and two aspherical elements. The lens also uses SIGMA’s optical design technology that helps to minimize all types of aberration including axial chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected in camera.

According to Sigma the lens is able to control sagittal coma flare extremely well even wide open at F1.4, stopping bright points of light from flaring out near the edges of the frame.

The lens features a 67mm filter thread and the minimum focus distance is 30cm (11.8″), the maximum magnification is 0.19x.

The 35mm F1.4 is well-built and weather-sealed like all of Sigma’s ART Series of lenses. The lens also features ultra-fast AF, a de-clickable and lockable aperture ring and a customisable AF-L button.

The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN lens is already available to pre-order for $899.00 in the US and £749.00 in the UK. The lens should start shipping from May 14th, 2021.
