I love the 35mm f1.2 it’s probably my favorite 35mm for the SL2 right now but it is not as easy of a lens to carry around all day.

Furthermore, it’s a lot lighter, and smaller than the Sigma 35mm f1.2 DG DN Art Lens, while only losing less than a stop in terms of speed (I also reviewed the 35mm f1.2 here). Also, it compares favorably to its competition in terms of size and weight. I know, that doesn’t exactly sound ultra light but this lens comes with quality parts, and its max aperture is f1.4. In terms of weight, it comes in at 755 g. ↑ This is what is included with the Sigma 35mm f1.2 DG DN Art Lens.Īs for ergonomics, the lens isn’t too bad to carry around all day as well. I’ve been using this lens on the Leica SL2, and it’s a fantastic match for it. There are absolutely no signs of inferior parts or build. Bottom line is the Sigma 35mm f1.4 feels very solid, and sturdy. Of course, thanks to rubber sealing, the lens is also splash and dust resistant. To top it off, the 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art lens comes with a brass bayonet mount as well. TSC is extremely hard, and since it offers minimal thermal shrinkage, it matches great with the metal parts in the lens. The lens is made from a combination of metal and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which according to Sigma, is a first in the industry.

The 35mm f1.4 is an Art lens, so you can expect that it will be built for professional use. Let’s start off with the build, which is excellent. Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Build Quality: With all that said, I had the opportunity to review the Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art lens for the Leica L Mount.

I have to admit, the 35mm isn’t my favorite focal length but I can not deny its extreme versatility. It’s great for many types of photography from street work, landscape to environmental portraiture. The 35mm lens is one of the most popular focal lengths with good reason. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens Review Leica L Mount: The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability.The lens is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, along with traditional metals, for greater precision and use in wide temperature variations.

The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time. The integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) realizes quick and quiet autofocusing, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance.Nine-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.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.Two aspherical elements reduce distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.One FLD element and four SLD elements are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.Standard wide-angle lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however it can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.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.
