35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art overview
The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art is a 35mm f/1.2 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount and L-Mount, announced by Sigma in July 2019. 63 cameras we track take it without an adapter. It has been followed by the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG II | Art.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for travelling light.
New, it sells for $1,499 to $1,649 at the 4 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock. It launched at $1,499.
Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 35mm F1.2 LAB, Sony FE 35mm F1.4 GM and Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm F1.4 ZA.
