Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens (L-Mount)

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Leica L is a wide angle Art-series prime for Leica L-mount mirrorless systems. It has a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, making it ideal for low-light conditions and shallow depth of field effects. The Sigma 35mm Lens for Leica L optical design includes SLD, ELD, and FLD elements, as well as aspherical and high refractive index elements, which produce high clarity and sharpness with minimal distortion and aberrations. Additionally, a Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity in strong lighting conditions. Overall, it's a sleek and updated lens for Leica L-mount users.

Balancing the optics is a refined exterior design, which features a physical aperture ring, which can be de-clicked or locked, along with a dedicated focus mode switch and AFL button for intuitive and tactile control. For autofocus, a stepping motor is used that maintains a lightweight and compact design while promoting fast and near silent focusing performance for both stills and video applications. Additionally, the lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.

• As part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.

• Wide-angle lens is designed for full-frame Leica L-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.

• Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is particularly well-suited for working in available light conditions and provides extensive control over depth of field for isolating subject matter with selective focus.

• Lens Construction: 15 elements in 11 groups, including one FLD low-dispersion element, one ELD extra-low dispersion element, two SLD special-low dispersion elements, and two aspherical elements.

• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions. Resistance coating allows oil and water to be easily wiped from the front lens surface and prevents oil and fat from sticking for easy cleaning.

• Integrated stepping motor realizes quick and quiet internal autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. Face and eye detection supported in feature enabled cameras.

• Manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications. Additionally, a dedicated aperture ring lock switch can also be employed to prevent accidental shifting of the aperture setting.

• Built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button which can be assigned additional functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.

• Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

• Weather-resistant construction with a brass bayonet that affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.
