The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art is designed exclusively for the Leica L mount, with a lightweight, compact form, premium construction, and outstanding optical quality. The 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | A updates Sigma's most popular Art prime to bring an unprecedented level of image quality to L-mount camera systems.

Powerful Performance

Compared to conventional models, the 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art offers improved optical performance, with minimal aberrations and exceptional sharpness from edge to edge, even at f/1.4. A streamlined focusing system, featuring a stepping-type motor and a single focusing element, provides a quick, smooth, accurate autofocus response while reducing the overall size and weight of the lens.

Advanced Features

The new 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art also offers a variety of convenient, practical features for demanding users. On-lens controls include a focus mode switch, AFL button, aperture ring, aperture ring click switch, and an aperture ring lock. In addition, the entire lens body incorporates a dust and splash-proof structure for peace of mind in inclement conditions.

Exceptional Optical Performance

Central to the design of the 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art is its sophisticated optical performance, which is consistent with the development of all Art line lenses. The lens incorporates 15 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.

11 Rounded Diaphragm Blades

Owing to its 11 rounded diaphragm blades, the lens displays smooth, round bokeh so that out-of-focus areas are not distracting. This makes the 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art well-suited to portraits, supported by its ultra-sharp image quality and minimal color bleeding. It also performs very well in backlit conditions thanks to Sigma's anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology that has cultivated through countless simulations and real-life testing in our many years of lens development.

Fast and Quiet AF in a Compact Body

The focusing mechanism in the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art features a stepping motor. This motor controls a focusing lens group composed of a single, lightweight element, which means AF is responsive and quiet and can keep track of moving objects very effectively.

Easy to Use

On the body of the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art is an aperture ring that allows the aperture to be controlled via the lens, or when set to Auto, using the camera. An aperture lock switch on the lens body allows the aperture ring to be locked in Auto so that it’s not accidentally knocked during shooting. A big plus for film-makers, the aperture ring can be de-clicked, allowing users to seamlessly adjust exposure.

Includes Petal Type Lens Hood

A petal-type lens hood is included in the box, which helps reduce flare and offers the lens added protection if dropped. The hood has a lock mechanism that keeps it attached securely to the lens, and its rubberized grip makes it quick and easy to attach and remove.

Durable Construction

On top of this impressive array of features and elegant exterior, the body of the 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art offers an exceptional level of durability that helps it withstand long-term professional use as well as individual operating parts that give a good fit to the hand. The dust and splash-proof structure provide sealing on buttons and along joins between constituent parts, and there’s a rubber gasket around the mount. There’s also a water and oil repellent coating applied to the front element ensures that photographers can rely on it in any conditions.
