Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art.
Sigma's mirrorless redesign of an Art classic. Lighter, faster-focusing, and weather-sealed — the value-conscious 35mm pro lens.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The DG DN Art is the best value in fast 35mm primes. It delivers optical quality that stands within arm's reach of Sony and Canon's first-party flagships at nearly half the price. Weather sealing, fast AF, and a proven optical pedigree make it the 35mm that belongs in every photographer's bag.”

“Sigma has another winner here, and it is even affordable relative to its performance.”
“Excellent results in most criteria — very low chromatic aberration and distortion, nice bokeh, and build quality comparable to the best professional OEM lenses.”
“Sharp at f/1.4 and impressively so stopped down; the value case against first-party 35mm primes is hard to argue with.”
