Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG II Art Lens for Sony E, Bundle with 72mm Filter Kit, Lens Case, Lens Pen Lens Cleaner, Cap Keeper, Cleaning Kit

Great Made BetterThe exceptional resolving power and beautiful bokeh of Sigma's world-leading 35mm F 1.2 in a smaller, lighter body. 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 flareThe Sigma 35mm F 1.2 DG II | Art offers even better optical performance than its predecessor, with brilliant clarity throughout the image, even at the fully open F 1.2 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 sizeBrilliant sharpness and the large, beautiful bokeh of an F 1.2 apertureIn designing the 35mm F 1.2 DG II | Art, Sigma paid special attention to correcting the various optical aberrations that affect image quality. Thanks to these meticulous efforts, 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 F 1.2D esigned to minimize focus breathingOptimization of the focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppresses focus breathing. As a result, changes in field of view are effectively suppressed when the focusing distance is changed, making the lens an ideal choice for professional video useDesigned to minimize flare and ghostingFlare 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 conditionsBetter performance, smaller size and lighter weight thanks to the floating focus systemThe Sigma 35mm F 1.2 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 performanceFast and quiet autofocusing with dual HLA systemThe 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 autofocusingA long-lasting, reliable tool for photographic expressionManufactured and assembled in Aizu, Japan, using high-precision parts made of aluminum, TSC and other materials, the 35mm F 1.2 DG II | Art is a sophisticated and durable photographic tool designed according to Sigma's Art line specifications. A wealth of shooting assist functionsThe 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 switchDust- and splash-resistant structure and water- and oil-repellent coatingIn 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
