Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens for Sony in detail

Sigma's First f/1.2 maximum aperture large-diameter prime lens

The "Art line in the age of mirrorless cameras" pursues ultimate performance as a large-diameter lens with a focal length of 35mm and also achieves a maximum aperture of f/1.2. Three SLD glass elements and three aspherical lenses including a double-sided aspherical lens are optimally arranged in a lens construction of 17 elements in 12 groups. In addition to the optical design that makes use of the characteristic of the short flange focal length it effectively takes advantage of the correction function inside the camera to correct distortion and peripheral illumination. Various aberrations that are difficult to correct by post-processing such as sagittal coma flare are thoroughly corrected by the compilation of the optical design technologies that Sigma has cultivated achieving an overwhelming resolution that can resolve over 50 million pixels.

High operability that supports various shooting situations in both still and video

In autofocus photography comfortable shooting for a f/1.2 large-diameter lens is achieved by the large Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) that gets desired torque required to drive the focus lens group. In manual focus photography the focus ring driven by the focus-by-wire system with the optimised torque setting responds to fine operations of the photographer. The aperture ring is also mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks enabling seamless operations that are especially useful during video shooting.

Substantial functions enable user confidence even in tough environments

The AFL button which can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens. Furthermore the lens features a dust- and splash-proof structure along with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the frontmost surface of the lens which further supports shooting in various environments.
