SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art
Full-Frame LensProduct Gallery
Product Overview
SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is the native mirrorless successor to the DG HSM | Art version released in 2012. Redesigned from the ground up, it is significantly smaller and lighter and integrates the latest features found in SIGMA's large aperture lenses.
As a prime lens in arguably the most versatile focal length on a full-frame camera, the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art delivers a combination of smooth bokeh, high resolution, strong suppression of aberrations, and flare resistance. The lens' 11 rounded aperture blades, 15 lens elements with six special elements, and SIGMA's Super Multi-Layer Coating together achieve this feat.
As usual, this Art lens is fully weather sealed for dust and splash proof. There is also water and oil repellent coating on the front element for easy maintenance.
It joins the Art and Contemporary lenses designed natively for mirrorless such as the 85mm F1.4 DG DN, 24mm F3.5 DG DN, 35mm F2 DG DN, and 45mm F2.8 DG DN.

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG DN Art is a quality wide-angle lens for mirrorless cameras that’s capable of attractive rendering and sharp results. In my tests with a pre-production sample, the bokeh in blurred areas was not only a step-up from the original DSLR version, but up there with models costing a lot more. Focus breathing is however an issue for the Sigma 35 1.4 which visibly reduces the field of view as you focus from infinity to the closest distance of around 30cm. It almost appears as if the lens is zooming-in and this can be distracting when pulling focus for video. The winner of this particular foursome in terms of breathing is the Sigma 1.2 which may show a mild reduction and require quite a turn of the focusing ring to get from far to near and back again.
Pros
- Sharp sharpness at f1.4
- Compact and compact
Cons
- Focus breathing can be distracting
- Focus breathing could be better

Reviewer score 76% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 35mm F1.4 DG DN's 11-bladed aperture yields nicely-rounded bokeh. Stopping down helps, but cat's eye is always a factor with this lens. Lens flare is very well controlled, but with the sun in or near the frame, you can nevertheless get quite a bit of ghosting.
Pros
- Excellent image quality even when shooting wide-open
- Comes with a lockable aperture ring and lockable lens hood
- Great build quality
Cons
- Occasional ghosting and cat's eye
- Limited focus breathing

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art delivers good performance wide open (around 3,600 lines) on the a7R IV's demanding sensor. It's very good at f/2 (4,000 lines) and excellent at f-2.8 (4,.600 lines). Edges lag behind the center at bright f-stops, but you'll enjoy crisp edge-to-edge results from f/4 through f/11. The lens renders backgrounds with soft, pleasing defocus when used at bigger f/stops.
Pros
- F1.4 optics
- Strong build quality
- Good autofocus
Cons
- Lacks sharpness at f/2.8

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN is very close to the Sony GM and much smaller and lighter than the Sigma F 1.2. Compared to the DSLR version the Sigma DG HSM you gain 10-15 in term of weight and size but with a less good build quality and without an aperture ring. In practice there is very little difference between these 3 lenses.
Pros
- Sharpness is excellent, very smooth background blur, color rendition is very pleasant, skins are very well rendered
- Very fast, accurate, efficient in low light, but the Sony GM is the fastest and the only one compatible with the 30fps of the A1
- Very go...
Cons
- Vignetting is a bit stronger on the Sigma F1.2
- Not very sharp
- No aperture ring
