Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Lens - Sony E-Mount
With a focal length of 35 mm, the "Art product line in the era of mirrorless cameras" aims for maximum performance and also achieves a maximum aperture of F1.2. Three SLD glass elements and three aspherical lenses including a doublesided aspherical lens are optimally arranged in a lens construction of 17 elements in 12 groups. In addition to its optical design, which takes advantage of the short print run feature, it effectively uses the camera's internal correction function to correct distortion and vignetting. Various imaging errors that are difficult to correct by postprocessing such as sagittal coma are completely corrected by the combination of optical design technologies developed by SIGMA and achieve an overwhelming resolution of over 50 million pixels.Best usability in various shooting situations, both for photo and video. With a large diameter F1.2 lens, comfortable autofocus photography is achieved by the large HyperSonic Motor (HSM), which achieves the desired torque required to control the focus lens group. In manual photography, the focus ring driven by the focusbywire system reacts with the optimized torque setting to fine adjustments made by the photographer. In addition, the aperture ring is equipped with an anticlick function, which disables snapin and enables smooth operation, which is particularly useful for video recordings. Extensive range of functions ensures user confidence even under difficult conditions. The AFL button, which can be assigned various functions, extends the working range of the lens. In addition, the lens has a dust and splashproof construction and a water and oilrepellent coating on the front lens, which additionally supports photography in various environments.

I just finished using this lens for a week on a short film video shoot. I really loved the quality of the shots, and despite the weight, I was still able to balance and use it in a Robin-S. My only issue is the focus-by-wire they put into this lens instead of mechanical focus. That made it almost impossible to manual focus a moving subject since the speed at which you move the focus ring will change how fast the focus changes.Because of this you cannot do consistent focus pulls.

The Sigma DG DN 35mm DG DN Art f/1.4 lens features a solid build, quality finish, comfortable controls, fast focusing ability, excellent sharpness, and pleasing bokeh.The Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM likely has an edge for sports and action photography. But for most uses - portraits, street photography, landscapes, low-light environments, etc. - the Sigma 35mm DG DN f/1.4, costing ~40% less than the Sony, represents a tremendous value.

Received my initial copy of this lens and tested it as I always do. It was immediately apparent I'd received a decentered copy. Returned it and bought another copy - same issue. Love the lens. Some complain about the size/heft, but I found it actually really heightened my enjoyment of shooting. Great bokeh, lovely character. But same right sided softness across a myriad of tests (distant object in 4 corners without adjusting focus, brick wall test, etc...) Still planning on getting this lens, but unsure of when as I'm wary of another from this shipment right now. It's a relatively wide focal length, and lots of elements so some is acceptable, but to have two copies in a row with the same pattern seems unusual. Anyone else having decentering issues?

Honestly I expected more from this lens. First it is extremely heavy for what it is, all of which you might overlook if it performed as one would imagine. That being said the obvious reason one would be attracted to this lens is the f1.2. Honestly the extreme vignetting wide open was so significant that you have to recompose the shot. Next because of the weight you have to hold it mid barrel so using and adjusting aperture with the ring is kinda clumsy. Unless it’s on a tripod and you don’t have to worry about holding the camera. IDK if it was this specific one I had but low light (using it on my a7r3) seamed to be an issue for it. It would hunt and on 3 separate occasions it went on/got stuck focusing back and forth for so long, even after releasing the focus ... MoreHonestly I expected more from this lens.

It would hunt and on 3 separate occasions it went on/got stuck focusing back and forth for so long, even after releasing the focus button, that I had to remove the battery from camera because turning it off didn’t stop it. Even my nearly 6yo 24-70 f4 that’s been around the world with me, that i use daily, that’s been through 5 Sony bodies snatches focus faster. There are 2 positive things about this lens. First the colors are fantastic from it. Not sure why but if it’s a brand thing i might become a sigma team member. Second is what seems to be an excellent exterior build quality. Fit and finish very nice. Lens hood way nicer than regular ones. But again if it doesn’t do what you need it to do what’s the point. I will add that I’ve used other prime 35mm with this body and so far my fav has been the Distagon 1.4.
This lens is almost exactly the same size as the 24-70mm GM lens, but heavier. F1.2 is great for low-light, better than F1.4 and much better than F1.8 and beyond. However, I don't like the image quality wide open @ F1.2. The bokeh is busy and a bit distracting, there is noticeable vignetting, and pictures just don't "pop". It's also a challenge to get focus right where you want it @ F1.2, but this is not the fault of the lens. Stop it down to F2.0-F2.8 and the quality is MUCH better- increased sharpness, great bokeh, just much better overall. For me, I will use this lens within that range unless I really need the extra speed in low light.Autofocus is fast but a little noisy if using AF-C. AF-S just snaps into focus, even in low light. It's a heavy lens but easy to ... MoreThis lens is almost exactly the same size as the 24-70mm GM lens, but heavier.

It's a heavy lens but easy to handle. I like the aperture ring, either with clicks or without. Build quality is excellent. Sunstars are pleasing with this lens as well.Would I choose this as my go-to lens over the 24-70mm GM? Hard to say. 35mm is a very useful focal length, and the ability to go F1.2 is unmatched, but I feel like the 24-70mm GM is just more usable and more consistent in more situations. Definitely a great lens if you know you will be out after dark or really want that super specific depth of field look and are willing to take time with the focus.
I’ve had this lens out and about for a while now here in Korea and I am very satisfied with that I got for the price.Pros: very sharp from f1.2 through f16. Honestly I don’t even think about sharpness with this lens, I pick the aperture for the shutter speed and depth of field required and shoot. Frees up the mind to focus on more creative aspects of shooting, which to me, is the hallmark of good equipment. I shouldn’t have to be thinking about how to overcome equipment shortfalls/quirks while shooting.Autofocus is fast and accurate. I shot some f1.2 portraits of myself with a remote, and even with zero human oversight on focusing, I got sharp eyes using the standard center AF on my Sony A7RII.Manual aperture ring, AF/MF switch (why Zeiss, is this not on the ... MoreI’ve had this lens out and about for a while now here in Korea and I am very satisfied with that I got for the price.Pros: very sharp from f1.2 through f16.

I shot some f1.2 portraits of myself with a remote, and even with zero human oversight on focusing, I got sharp eyes using the standard center AF on my Sony A7RII.Manual aperture ring, AF/MF switch (why Zeiss, is this not on the Batis lenses?), AF lock, well-done manual focus by wire.....all work without any tinkering or quirks, again, exactly how it should be.Good flare resistance, the lens was built assuming the use of filters so there is no severe vignetting even with a C-Pol stacked on a 10-stop ND. (Part of why it is so big). Again; they designed it to disappear between you and the creative process, you don’t have to “think” about the lens when shooting.Cons: It is huge and heavy. I am seriously considering a second 35mm for backpacking.The rendering is accurate and clinical. There’s no “magic” like some brands. Not a big deal, just post process.There is field curvature. At f1.2-2 if I want the corner at infinity to be sharp, I need to focus at the corner. This is almost never occurring in real shooting situations. It’s very much a problem if you’re primary subject matter are resolution charts and brick walls at ultra wide apertures. Thankfully, I shoot real photos and not lens tests, so this has never effected a real world image.Don’t hesitate!
Image quality is excellent and this is a very capable lens. Eye-AF works extremely well and nails focus every time and the lens is sharp even down to f1.2. The color and contrast are great and the bokeh is smooth. The build also feels solid and I love aperture rings.It isn't perfect though. Unless you really know you will use f1.2 a lot, I wouldn't recommend something this big. Its almost as heavy as my old Nikon 80-200 2.8 and is heaver than a 24-70 2.8. Given how good Sony's 35 1.8 and the Voightlander 40 are, you really ought to consider if that heft is worth differences that generally will only be seen in pixel peeping at more normal apertures (if then). If you want f 1.2 then go for it but otherwise think twice. In addition to the most obvious con, which is ... MoreImage quality is excellent and this is a very capable lens.

If you want f 1.2 then go for it but otherwise think twice. In addition to the most obvious con, which is the giant size, the biggest issue this lens has is flare that makes it a worse landscape lens than my Voightlanders. The autofocus sometimes will also pulse in and out in a way that my other lenses don't do and struggle to lock onto focus in landscapes with fading light.
Got this for my birthday for work. The lens is good but it's hard to focus on the subject when really close to the subject meaning it hunts for a while. Aputure ring needed to have a lock it's really easy to trigger. Everything else is good sharpness could be better. The bokah is delicate which give a very unique look. Overall good lens
I am glad that I went with this lens. It offers crisp sharpness, beautiful color and bokeh renderings. The lens balances exceptionally well on my A7r II. The design of the lens is grand; it is the perfect weight and length. In one hand, I had an A7r II with a Sony 24mm g master lens, and in the other, this lens with an A7r II, and there was no noticeable weight difference between the two setups, despite the 24mm being about 200 grams lighter. I am happy I went with the Sigma in lieu of the new Sony 35mm g master. Not only is it substantially less costly, but it captures more in the frame because it has a wider angle of view. Also, I chose this over the Sony FE 35mm 1.8 because of the wider aperture and design. You can't go wrong with the Art series.
For some background, I generally do not mind lens price tags like this (I paid $1,500) if the performance is outstanding and the rendering is beautiful. For the latter, the rendering is the reason to buy this lens. The look of a moderately wide angle combined with the 1.2 aperture is really a unique look. Fortunately, the lens is sharp at the point of focus whether at close distance or far and whether you are focusing at the center of the frame or mid-frame. If you focus toward the edges it can help to stop down a bit. The bokeh is really appealing: not too busy unlike other fast 35s and I personally really like the vignette it produces. As for negatives, there are a few. I don't mind the size given it's a 1.2 with autofocus, but I expected more symmetric distortion ... MoreFor some background, I generally do not mind lens price tags like this (I paid $1,500) if the performance is outstanding and the rendering is beautiful.

As for negatives, there are a few. I don't mind the size given it's a 1.2 with autofocus, but I expected more symmetric distortion and field curvature. The distortion is a bit funny in that the correction affects one side of the image more than the other. It's not a simple barrel in the middle and that can make compositions on flat surfaces more challenging. The big issue I have found is the field curvature and in summary, the lens' performance isn't a harmonic improvement when stopping down. Instead I find it is best at either 1.2 or smaller than f/4. For some reason the field seems relatively flat at 1.2, but from 1.4 to f/4 (or so) and in I can't get sharpness on a flat plane if I focus at the center at infinity. Using an off-center mid-field focus point is better as is focusing at a close distance where the curvature seems to affect the plane of sharpness less. The final issue is autofocus in that in single AF it can lock focus then refocus again on its own. I'm not sure how that happens but also haven't seen a firmware update.
