35mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Art for Canon EF

Standard prime lens

Combining a classic concept with new technology, Sigma's 35mm f/1.4 takes image quality to new heights. While it is designed for full frame Canon EF-mount cameras, this wide angle lens can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5 mm equivalent focal length. Through the incorporation of four Super Low Dispersion (SLD) and one F Low Dispersion glass elements in its 13-elements-in-11-group optical design, chromatic and spherical aberrations are markedly reduced to ensure optimal contrast and colour accuracy and improve sharpness and rendition accuracy. In addition, a Super Multi-layer coating applied to the elements reduce flare and ghosting to achieve greater contrast and colour fidelity. The lens has a very fast and bright f/1.4 aperture, making it ideal for low light work and isolating subject matter using shallow depth of field techniques. The nine-blade rounded diaphram further contributes to a beautiful background blur with a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

For focusing, Sigma's Hyper Sonic Motor makes quick work of the task, working in a fast, smooth, and silent manner. A floating focusing design means that optical quality stays high even when focusing at very close distances. Full-time manual control is available anytime by simply rotating the focus ring. Constructed from a combination of Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material and metals, this robust lens is built for precision and withstanding wide temperature variations. Its brass bayonet mount ensures durability and greater mounting accuracy. The lens is dust- and splash-resistant to provide you with a peace of mind when operating in less than ideal conditions.

Both front and rear lens caps, a lens hood and a lens case are supplied to ensure you can store and transport the lens safely. Finally, this lens is compatible with Sigma's USB lens dock, which lets you update the lens's firmware and fine-tune focusing parameters.
