Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon

The Sigma Nikon F 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is an optically advanced wide-angle prime that combines a versatile focal length with a particularly fast design. The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture not only facilitates achieving a shallow depth of field and selective focus effects but also proves beneficial when working in challenging lighting conditions. The optical construction incorporates both low dispersion and aspherical elements, contributing to improved sharpness and clarity by effectively controlling both spherical and chromatic aberrations. A floating elements system is implemented to maintain performance consistently throughout the focusing range.

Additionally, the lens features a Super Multi-Layer Coating, which plays a crucial role in minimizing flare and ghosting, resulting in enhanced contrast and colour accuracy, particularly when shooting in strong lighting conditions. The Sigma Nikon F 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a technologically advanced and high-performance option for photographers seeking optical excellence in wide-angle photography.

Complementing the imaging capabilities, the lens sports a Hyper Sonic Motor to produce quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. The physical design features a brass bayonet mount, which offers rigidity and mounting precision along with a seal to guard against dust and moisture. Additionally, a rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

• 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 prime is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, however is also suitable for DX models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
• Impressively 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.
• One F Low Dispersion (FLD) element and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• Two aspherical elements are used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contributes to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Floating elements system helps to realize consistent optical performance throughout the focusing range, from 11.8" to infinity.
• 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 colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• 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. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.
• The bayonet mount is constructed from brass for ensured accuracy and durability. Additionally, rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
• This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
