Advanced optical design and outstanding rendering performance Professional-grade mechanical design and operability AF system with excellent tracking capability and near-silent operation Advanced optical design and outstanding rendering performance
The optical systems of the Sigma 28-105mm T3 FF incorporate the designs of the highly acclaimed still lenses: the Sigma 28-105mm F2.8 DG DN | Art.
Combining the experience gained through years of lens design. The latest development technology, and the advanced manufacturing techniques of Sigma’s sole production base, the Aizu factory. These lenses deliver exceptional resolution and beautiful bokeh regardless of focal length or focus position. Along with a sharp, clean look with minimal flare and ghosting.
Professional-grade mechanical design and operability Inheriting the rendering performance and reliability of Sigma’s Art lenses. The AF Cine Line integrates cinema-style mechanics and operability, optimized for professional cinema production. It features a limited-rotation focus ring, industry-standard 0.8M pitch gears, and a clickless aperture ring to meet industry demands.
AF system with excellent tracking capability and near-silent operation. Equipped with a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator). The Sigma AF Cine Line captures intense movements in action scenes, rapid focus shifts in gimbal or handheld shooting, and unpredictable moments in documentaries without missing a split second. Providing reliable support for filmmakers in various shooting situations.
“Sigma 35mm F1.4 DGII | Art”
“Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art”, a large-aperture wide-angle lens for full-frame cameras that combines outstanding resolution with a compact, lightweight design. As the latest evolution of the “35mm F1.4” —the origin of the Sigma Art line renowned for its overwhelming optical performance.
KEY FEATURES
- Product name: Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art
- Available mounts: L-Mount, Sony E-mount
- Product appearance and specifications are subject to change.

The best optical performance ever in Sigma’s 35mm F1.4 Art line
Exceptional resolution across the entire frame from maximum aperture
Built on Sigma’s latest optical design technology, the completely redesigned 15-element, 12-group construction delivers extraordinarily detailed rendering that surpasses previous generations of 35mm F1.4 Art line lenses. By incorporating new glass materials that were previously difficult to process, together with four high-precision aspherical elements and two SLD glass elements, the lens thoroughly suppresses aberrations, particularly axial chromatic aberration, which is often prominent in large-aperture lenses.
Sigma’s rigorous Art line standards ensure outstanding resolution across the entire frame, even at maximum aperture.
Rich and beautiful bokeh without colour bleeding
By thoroughly correcting axial chromatic aberration, the lens suppresses colour fringing not only in the in-focus plane but also in out-of-focus areas, producing beautifully natural bokeh. The lens features an 11-blade rounded diaphragm, which maintains a round shape even when stopping down from maximum aperture. In addition, by refining the surface accuracy of the aspherical elements to the highest level, the lens enables smooth and beautifully round bokeh.
Newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating)
The newly developed AAC (Advanced Amorphous Coating) features a low-refractive-index amorphous layer that dramatically reduces reflections responsible for ghosting and flare, delivering exceptionally clear, high-contrast image quality.
A refined compact and lightweight design
Pursuing uncompromising compactness and lightness
By adopting a floating focus system, the lens achieves both enhanced optical performance and a more compact, lightweight design. Compared to the previous model―the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art , it is approximately 14% shorter and 20% lighter. The mechanical design incorporates numerous space-saving innovations down to the smallest details, ensuring truly uncompromising compactness and portability. This agility empowers photographers to pursue their creative vision.
Fast and quiet autofocusing with dual HLA system
The lens employs Sigma’s dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) system, which drives its large and heavy focus group with high power and speed. Even as a large-aperture lens where the focus group tends to become heavier, it delivers fast, accurate, and quiet AF for both stills and video—ensuring that the user can capture decisive moments reliably.
Designed for comfortable shooting of both stills and video
A long-lasting, reliable tool for photographic expression
By assembling high-precision parts made of aluminium, TSC1, and other materials, the lens achieves the high level of rigidity, durability, and build quality expected of the Art line without compromising portability. As a photographic tool, it offers the reliability needed for long-term use.
- TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to that of aluminium. It has a high affinity to metal parts, which contributes to high quality product manufacturing.
Various shooting assist functions
The lens is equipped with an AFL button in two locations, which can be assigned to a range of functions via the menu on selected cameras. In addition to the aperture ring, the lens is equipped with an aperture ring lock switch1 and a click switch to turn the click on and off.
1. If you turn it on in position A, the aperture ring will be locked in position A. If you turn it on in a position other than A, it will be locked in the range from open to minimum aperture, and it will not be possible to turn it to position A.
Designed to minimize focus breathing
Optimization of the focus group arrangement and aspherical shape significantly suppresses focus breathing. The change in angle of view due to focus shift is minimized, creating a natural-looking focus shift when recording video.
Dust- and splash-resistant structure1 and water- and oil-repellent coating
In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the frontmost surface of the lens has a water- and oil-repellent coating applied, so that the lens can be used safely even in harsh outdoor environments.
1. The product is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant but is not waterproof. When using the lens near water, etc., take care not to allow large amounts of water to splash on it. If water gets inside the lens, it may cause a major malfunction and render the lens unrepairable.
Petal-type hood with locking mechanism
The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG II | Art comes with a dedicated petal-type hood that shields the front element from stray light to reduce the chances of unwanted flare. The hood attaches securely to the lens with a locking mechanism.
