Fast-Aperture Prime. The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art’s fast f/1.2 aperture makes it ideal for shooting in difficult light, achieving shallow depth of field, and giving you ample background separation for portraiture. The rounded eleven-blade diaphragm helps produce large, pleasing bokeh. Using a APS-C sensor camera? You’ll have a focal length equivalent to 53mm.

Hyper Sonic Autofocus Motor. The Hyper Sonic Motor system provides fast, smooth, and nearly silent autofocus operation for stills and video alike. You can just rotate the focus ring at any point for manual-focus override. A built-in Autofocus-Lock button can be assigned additional functions, giving you more options and capabilities.

Advanced Optics. This lens’s twelve-group/seventeen-element optical design includes three aspherical elements and four Special Low-Dispersion elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and vignetting while providing maximum sharpness, color accuracy, and clarity.

High-Quality Build. The Sigma 35mm’s Thermally Stable Composite build is dust- and splash-resistant, so that you can use it in adverse conditions. It also boasts a brass bayonet mount for maximum durability.
