The optical design features 17 elements in 12 groups, including 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and 3 aspherical elements (one double-sided) . This complex design virtually eliminates chromatic aberration, distortion, and spherical aberrations, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness even wide open at f/1.2.

Honest Note
The Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art launched in 2019 and remains Sigma’s flagship 35mm lens in 2026. What you get: ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture, exceptional optical performance, professional weather-sealed build. What to consider: the lens is heavy at 1,090g – it adds significant weight to your kit, and the 82mm filter thread means larger, more expensive filters.
This 97% unit shows light cosmetic wear but is fully functional with clean glass, smooth aperture ring, and accurate autofocus. For photographers who demand the absolute best in low-light performance and subject isolation, this is one of the finest 35mm lenses ever made.
