Sigma AF 35mm F2 DG I C lens for Sony FE 

The lens boasts a fast aperture of F2 making it possible to achieve a shallow depth-of-field for blurry backgrounds. This allows photographers to isolate their subject and create more impactful images. The bokeh is smooth and attractive, so doesn’t distract from the in-focus subject.

The bright aperture is also very useful when using the lens hand-held in low light, such as at a wedding, because it reduces the risk of camera shake.

Fast. Sharp. Versatile.

Part of Sigma’s I series range of lenses, the full-frame 35mm F2 is a premium compact prime designed to be used with the latest high-resolution mirrorless cameras. Not only does it deliver exceptional image quality across the whole frame, but its F2 aperture allows photographers to achieve a shallow depth-of-field and blur-free, hand-held images in low light. Its 35mm focal length is perfect for travel, street, wedding, family and wide-angle portrait photography, as well as general day-to-day shooting.

As with Sigma’s other I series lenses, the 35mm F2 combines its superb optical performance with outstanding build quality and retro styling. Its sleek, all-metal body includes a metal focus ring, a metal aperture ring, a metal lens hood, and even a metal lens cap that attaches to the lens magnetically. The lens is essentially designed for photographers and film-makers who value the experience of taking a picture just as much as the quality of the final result.

The SIGMA 35mm F2 is portable enough to be carried around for casual day-to-day shooting, but thanks to its outstanding optics, F2 aperture, fast AF and impressive build, it’s equally well-suited to heavy professional use.

Weighing only 325g, the 35mm F2 is exceptionally light – ideal for street, wedding, portraits and travel photography.

Outstanding Build Quality

Despite having a premium all-metal build of precision-cut aluminium parts, the 35mm F2 weighs only 325g (L-Mount), which is exceptionally light for a lens of this quality. It’s ideal for street, travel, wedding and event photographers who need a compact but robust lens that can easily be carried around all day. The lens has a dust- and splash-proof mount.

An aperture ring allow photographers to change aperture using the lens, or, in Auto mode, using the camera if preferred.

The tactile knurled metal finish used for the lens hood, focus ring and aperture ring make controlling settings and gripping the lens a joy to use. The action on the aperture and focus rings is extremely smooth, which makes adjusting settings intuitive and accurate.

• Metal mount with seal: Protects against dust and moisture.
• All-metal construction: Including metal aperture and focus rings.
• All-metal hood: Beautifully designed with individually machine knurled grooves.
• Ultra-compact body: Weighs only 325g, ideal for landscapes and travel.

High Resolving Power

Despite its compact design, the 35mm F2 DG DN delivers outstanding optical quality across the whole frame, even on ultra-high-resolution sensors. Its 10 elements in 9 groups include 3 aspherical elements and 1 SLD element, which help keep the lens compact while greatly reducing the appearance of chromatic aberration around areas of high contrast.

Vignetting is very minimal even wide-open, and the lens has advanced optical coatings to reduce flare and ghosting when working in bright direct sun.

Ultra-Portable Design

The 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary is significantly more compact than the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, and delivers comparable image quality, so will appeal to those who need to work light without sacrificing optical performance. However, the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art does offer a wider F1.4 aperture and more advanced features.

Magnetic Lens Cap Holder

Available as a separate accessory, Sigma’s innovative magnetic lens cap holder can be clipped to clothing or a bag to securely hold any I series magnetic lens cap. This helps keep the cap safe while the camera is in use.

Sigma I Series Range

The lens is part of the I series range of primes, which sit in the Contemporary line-up. They are designed to offer mirrorless photographers outstanding optical quality and premium usability in a compact package.

With similar optical character and the same sleek external design, the lenses are ideally used as a set, ensuring consistent bokeh, colour rendition, optical precision and usability.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at their sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.
