Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II Art Lens for Sony E

Sony E-mount full-frame users—especially portrait photographers, street shooters, event pros, videographers, travel enthusiasts, and low-light specialists—benefit most from this lens. Its versatile 35mm focal length captures natural perspectives for environmental portraits, candids, weddings, documentaries, and vlogs with stunning subject isolation and dreamy bokeh at f/1.4. The bright aperture excels in dim conditions (concerts, indoors, night streets), while edge-to-edge sharpness and fast, reliable dual HLA AF handle action, eye-detect, and video smoothly with minimal breathing. The compact, lightweight build (~525g) pairs perfectly with bodies like the A7 series or A1 without fatigue, delivering GM-level performance at a fraction of the cost—ideal if you want premium quality, portability, and future-proof features without the Sony tax. This is the go-to upgrade for demanding creators seeking excellence in a everyday carry.

Built on Sigma’s latest optical design technology, the completely redesigned 15-element, 12-group construction delivers extraordinarily detailed rendering that surpasses previous generations of 35mm F1.4 Art line lenses.

By incorporating new glass materials that were previously difficult to process, together with four high-precision aspherical elements and two SLD glass elements, the lens thoroughly suppresses aberrations, particularly axial chromatic aberration, which is often prominent in large-aperture lenses.

Sigma’s rigorous Art line standards ensure outstanding resolution across the entire frame, even at maximum aperture.

• The best optical performance ever in Sigma’s 35mm F1.4 Art line
• A refined, compact, and lightweight design
• Designed for comfortable shooting of both stills and video

The 35mm F1.4 lens has always held a special place in the hearts of photographers.
The brand-new Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art builds on the legacy of Sigma’s 35mm F1.4 Art line and sets a new benchmark with its unmatched optical performance.

The journey began in 2012 with the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art, the very first lens in Sigma’s Art line. With unprecedented resolving power, the lens made a lasting impact on the photography world, redefining what an F1.4 lens could achieve—a milestone still celebrated today.

In 2021, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art leveraged the new freedom of a short flange-back design and significantly improved the remaining challenge of corner performance, pushing optical standards to new heights.

And now, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art stands at the pinnacle as the finest 35mm F1.4 in Sigma’s history. With class-leading optical performance, a refined, compact, and lightweight design, and high-speed AF driven by Dual HLA, this lens embodies years of Sigma’s technology and passion―once again setting a new benchmark in photography.

By thoroughly correcting axial chromatic aberration, the lens suppresses color fringing not only in the in-focus plane but also in out-of-focus areas, producing beautifully natural bokeh. The lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, which maintains a round shape even when stopping down from maximum aperture. In addition, by refining the surface accuracy of the aspherical elements to the highest level, the lens enables smooth and beautifully round bokeh.

The newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating) features a low-refractive-index amorphous layer that dramatically reduces reflections responsible for ghosting and flare, delivering exceptionally clear, high-contrast image quality.

By adopting a floating focus system, the lens achieves both enhanced optical performance and a more compact, lightweight design. Compared to the previous model, it is approximately 14% shorter and 20% lighter. The mechanical design incorporates numerous space-saving innovations down to the smallest details, ensuring truly uncompromising compactness and portability. This agility empowers photographers to pursue their creative vision.

The lens employs Sigma’s dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system, which drives its large and heavy focus group with high power and speed. Even as a large-aperture lens where the focus group tends to become heavier, it delivers fast, accurate, and quiet AF for both stills and video—ensuring that the user can capture decisive moments reliably.
