Sigma 35mm F2 DG Full-Frame Contemporary Lens with Manual Aperture Ring (Black, Sony E Mount)

The full-frame compatible Sigma 35mm F2 DG Contemporary Lens in Black for Sony E Mount introduces fresh value to mirrorless cameras. Its outstanding optical performance, combined with a compact size that complements today's smaller mirrorless models, opens up new possibilities for achieving the perfect shot.

Exceptional Optical Performance

The 35mm F2 DG Contemporary delivers exceptional optical performance with a maximum aperture of F2, all while maintaining a compact size suitable for a mirrorless system. To address axial chromatic aberration, particularly significant in bright lenses, SLD glass is utilized, and the strategic positioning of high-refractive index elements effectively corrects various aberrations while minimizing the use of glass. The inclusion of three precision glass-molded aspherical lenses, enabled by innovative production methods at Sigma's sole manufacturing facility in Aizu, enhances performance. These components effectively correct spherical aberration and field curvature, as well as variations in aberration during focusing. The lens design excels in correcting sagittal coma aberration, allowing for the capture of fine details, making it suitable for night sky photography. With its state-of-the-art optical design and advanced manufacturing technology, the 35mm F2 DG Contemporary ensures consistent, high resolving power across the entire frame.

Precise Aspherical Glass Molded Lens

The surfaces of molds used for glass molding must be extremely precise. Sigma achieves this by employing high-precision molds with surface control to an accuracy of plus and minus 5 nanometers or less. These precise aspherical glass molded lenses offer excellent aberration correction while maintaining a compact lens design.

Superb Build Quality

Boasting an all-metal construction, this lens features precision-cut aluminum components for both an elegant appearance and impressive durability, enhancing the overall quality of the product. Metal materials are also incorporated into the internal structures that interact with the focus ring for added strength.

Cover Ring Between Focus and Aperture Ring

The cover ring situated between the focus ring and the aperture ring features hairline processing similar to that found on the rear cylinder of the Art line. This covering serves as a grip when mounting or unmounting the lens.

Inner Focus System Using Movable Internal Lens Elements

To enhance stability, the inner focus system allows movable internal lens elements to adjust focus without extending the lens barrel's length.

Magnetic Metal Lens Cover

Along with a standard plastic cap, the lens comes with a specially designed magnetic metal lens cover. This unique metal cap securely attaches to the front of the lens via magnets. It can be confidently stated that this carefully designed cap serves as the perfect final detail for the lens.

Lens Aberration Correction Compatibility

In order to further improve image quality, this feature adjusts chromatic aberrations, distortion, peripheral lighting, and other issues in-camera while matching the optical properties of the lens.

Flare-Reducing Super Multi-Layer Coating

The Super Multi-Layer Coating effectively reduces flare and ghosting by minimizing reflections within the lens. In digital cameras, flare and ghosting can also arise from reflections between the lens surfaces and the image sensor, making multi-layer coating highly effective in ensuring images with exceptional contrast.

Stepping Motor

In addition to supporting Face and Eye Detection AF and video AF, the lens can achieve smooth, silent, and fast AF thanks to a stepping motor. Rubber sealing is incorporated into the lens mount to shield it from water and dust.

Construction with Dust and Water-Resistant Design

The lens mount features rubber seals to guard against dust and moisture.

Optical Correction Capability

The lens effectively utilizes the optical correction capabilities of mirrorless systems. Sigma's optical designers focused on mitigating aberrations that can only be resolved through optical design, enhancing rendering performance while reducing the lens's size and weight.

Emphasizes Subject

With a minimum focus distance of 50cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5, this lens is ideal for close-up macro-style photography. It emphasizes the subject, enabling photographers to highlight fine details or create more abstract compositions.

Other Highlights

The lens features a rounded diaphragm, high-speed autofocus compatibility, and AF Assist support for Sony E-mount. It has a high-precision, durable brass bayonet mount. Supporting DMF and AF plus MF, it is designed to minimize flare and ghosting. Each lens undergoes Sigma's proprietary MTF measuring system and includes a magnetic metal lens cap.
