The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is here, providing an update to the company's first-ever Art Series lens with a bevy of new features and improvements, all at a very affordable price. This excellent video review takes a look at the new lens and the kind of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the new Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art lens. The original version kicked off the Art Series and was a runaway hit for company, while the new 35mm Art brings with it nine years of improvements since the original and a variety of great features, including:

  • Two Special Low Dispersion elements
  • Extraordinary Low Dispersion element
  • F Low Dispersion (FLD) element
  • Two aspherical elements
  • Extra control over sagittal coma flare at wide apertures for astrophotography
  • 11 rounded diaphragm blades for smoother bokeh
  • Anti-ghosting and anti-flare coatings for increased contrast
  • De-clickable and lockable aperture ring
  • Customizable AFL button
  • Dust- and splash-proofing

Altogether, it looks like the new version carries on the Art Series legacy of high-quality optics at affordable prices. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Frost.
