9/9/2023 0 Comments Sigma 35mm 1.2![]() If you primarily want to take pictures of running animals or small children you may come to a different conclusion. I have only used the lens for slow moving adults and encountered no problems with the autofocus. Sigma claims the lens is dust- and splash proof and like all of Sigma’s full frame E-mount lenses there is a rubber gasket to be found at the bayonet. I cannot tell you much about the long term reliablity (yet) or about the internal parts, but maybe we get to see a teardown by lens rentals one day. The outside is made from the same high quality polycarbonate we already know from the other Sigma Global Vision lenses. Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art DG DN with lens hood attached Build Quality Already the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art was a very big lens, but it is dwarfed by its f/1.2 brother: Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art DG DN and Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art HSM DGĪ bayonet type lens hood is also part of the package which also offers improved build quality like the ones we know from the GM series with a release button and a mix of polycarbonate and rubber (which is really good at attracting dust). There is no denying, this is a huge lens. There is also no physical distance scale that we know from the Sigma E-mount lenses with built-in adapter tube. The resistance is really nice though, better (higher) than that of e.g. This is good for finetuning focus but in the field it felt a bit too long to be honest. Sigma seems to have thought this is way too little and so the 35mm 1.2 has a ~ 540° focus throw. The GM primes I tried all have exactly 180° focus throw from infinity to the minimum focus distance. The only differences compared to the GM lenses like the 85mm 1.4, 135mm 1.8 or 24mm 1.4 are the position of the AF/MF switch, which is above the focus hold button, not below (I prefer Sigma’s design here) and the focus throw. We have an aperture ring with 1/3rd of a stop click stops and de-cklick lever (just like the GM lenses) we have an AF/MF switch and a focus hold button (just like the GM lenses) and the manual focus has a linear coupling. In terms of handling this new line of Sigma lenses feels almost exactly like a Sony GM lens. You can buy this lens from | B&H | | for about $1499/1529€ Operation Handling Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art DG DNĬompared to the former Sigma lenses we are in for a few surprises here. Focal lengths are usually subject to rounding and as I did not properly measure either I cannot tell you which is closer to actual 35mm. *Despite Sigma claiming the 35mm 1.2 Art and the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art both having a diagonal viewing angle of 63.4° the older f/1.4 version is wider. You may also have a look at the official page. Number of Aperture Blades: 11 (rounded). ![]() ![]() In addition to the Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art – which was the first lens of Sigma’s Global Vision lens lineup and the first lens of the Art series – we now have this Sigma 35mm 1.2 Art DG DN, a true mirrorless design, which has the following specifications: ![]()
