Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art Lens – Sony E-Mount

Exceptional sharpness, unmatched F1.2 bokeh, and professional design – optimised for Sony full-frame mirrorless

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art (Sony E-Mount) is the next-generation update to Sigma’s legendary flagship wide-angle prime. As the successor to the world’s first 35mm F1.2 lens for full-frame mirrorless, this redesigned version offers refined optical performance, smaller size, reduced weight, and improved functionality – while maintaining the extraordinary expressive power that made the original a favourite among professionals.

From razor-sharp images at F1.2 to cinematic background blur and robust build quality, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is the ultimate prime lens for Sony E-Mount full-frame cameras such as the α7, α9, and α1 series.

Stunning Optical Performance at F1.2

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art delivers the kind of image quality that sets new benchmarks for Sony users:

• Advanced glass elements: 1 SLD, 4 aspherical, and high-refractive-index materials eliminate axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare.

• Sharpness across the frame: Crystal-clear rendering even at maximum aperture.

• Expressive bokeh: The wide F1.2 aperture creates rich, velvety background blur without colour fringing.

Perfect for portraits, weddings, street, low-light, and creative fine-art photography, this lens unlocks the full potential of Sony’s high-resolution sensors.

A Hybrid Creator’s Dream Lens

For videographers and hybrid shooters, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art is a standout choice:

• Minimised focus breathing – stable field of view while racking focus.

• Silent, accurate AF – driven by dual HLA motors for seamless video capture.

• Cinematic shallow depth of field – emphasise your subject with stunning F1.2 separation.

Whether you’re filming cinematic sequences or shooting stills, this lens adapts effortlessly.

Compact, Lightweight Redesign

Sigma has reduced size and weight by adopting a floating focus system, making the lens:

• ~30% lighter (770g for E-Mount version)

• ~20% shorter (118.5mm)

• Easier to balance on gimbals and more practical for travel and handheld use.

Despite its more compact size, optical performance has actually improved compared to the first-generation lens.

Autofocus Powered by Dual HLA Motors

The dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system independently drives two focus groups:

• Fast, reliable autofocus for moving subjects.

• Near-silent operation, perfect for video and stills alike.

• High thrust efficiency, achieved with compact magnetic motors.

This makes the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art one of the most responsive and quiet large-aperture lenses available for Sony E-Mount.
