Designed and engineered with Sigma’s latest technology, the Sigma ART 35mm F1.2 DG II offers not only improved optical performance, but also greatly enhanced portability thanks to a significant size reduction of approximately 30%. With its improved design, the lens delivers unparalleled rendering
power, high-resolution clarity and large, beautiful bokeh in a more portable form. Focus breathing is also effectively minimized, ensuring outstanding results not only in still photography, but also when shooting video.

Brilliant sharpness and the large, beautiful bokeh of an f/1.2 aperture

In designing the Sigma ART 35mm f/1.2 DG II, 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/1.2.

Better performance, smaller size and lighter weight thanks to the floating focus system

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 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.

Fast and quiet autofocusing with dual HLA system

The 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 autofocusing.
