Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art is the first wide-angle f/1.2 autofocus lens for full-frame mirrorless, delivering very shallow depth of field and high resolution in a large 1090g body. Professional reviews praise its sharpness, bokeh, and low-light performance, while pointing out drawbacks such as heavy weight, large size, high price, and some vignetting at maximum aperture. As of Sep 14 2025, user sentiment remains favorable, with many photographers appreciating its unique rendering and creative potential, though some prefer lighter alternatives for regular use.

From Sigma:

TAKE YOUR MIRRORLESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL ― BENEFIT FROM THE FINEST PERFORMANCE THAT THE Sigma’S FIRST F1.2 LARGE APERTURE PRIME DELIVERS.

Bringing the “pursuit of ultimate image quality” to the next level with an F1.2 Art line lens for mirrorless cameras

First wide-angle AF lens with F1.2 maximum aperture for the full-frame Sony E-mount and L-Mount system. This lens enables a creation of artwork with astounding resolution and large bokeh effects, such as portraits that make use of a shallow depth of field. It brings the development concept of the Art line “pursuit of ultimate image quality” to the next level. While utilizing optical correction function inside the camera, aberrations that are difficult to post-process are thoroughly corrected thanks to the optical design and it thereby enhances resolution.
