Sigma Art 35mm 1.2 DG DN für L-Mount

The Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art is a new moderate wide-angle prime lens for full-frame Sony or Leica, Panasonic and Sigma L-mount mirrorless cameras. It's also Sigma's first ever lens with a maximum aperture of F1.2. This lens is comprised of 17 elements in 12 groups including three SLD glass elements and three aspherical lenses, one of which is a double-sided aspherical lens. It features a rounded 11 blade diaphragm which together with the F1.2 maximum aperture creates a very attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image.

The Sigma 35mm f1.2 Art is a mild wide-angle lens available in Sony FE and Leica L mounts, and boasts the largest focal ratio of any autofocus full-frame 35mm lens to date. That bodes well for a nice Bokeh - and the lens certainly delivered the goods in my tests: its Bokeh is probably as good as it gets on a 35mm lens. Add to that the light gathering power that is a half stop ahead of lenses with a focal ratio of f1.4 and an optical performance that is always a bit better and you have the best 35mm I've tested so far. Add in thorough weather sealing with fluorine coating on the front lens, a de-clickable aperture ring, the focus hold button, and a well padded lens case plus strap and you get a well-rounded package that should leave little open to wishes. Unfortunately it's also the largest and heaviest 35mm lens of the models I compared it against. But if you want the best 35mm lens for your full-frame Sony or L-mount mirrorless camera, the Sigma 35mm f1.2 DG DN Art is it. This also justifies its price and earns a Highly Recommended! Shame it's not available for other lens-mounts too.
