Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F

The Sigma Nikon F 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a highly advanced wide-angle prime lens that combines a comfortable focal length with an exceptionally fast design. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture allows for shallow depth of field and selective focus effects, making it ideal for challenging lighting conditions. The optical layout incorporates both low dispersion and aspherical elements, effectively controlling spherical and chromatic aberrations to enhance sharpness and clarity. A floating elements system ensures consistent performance throughout the entire focusing range. The lens also features a Super Multi-Layer Coating that minimizes flare and ghosting, resulting in greater contrast and color accuracy, particularly in strong lighting conditions.

In addition to its impressive imaging capabilities, the lens boasts a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance, with full-time manual focus override. The physical design includes a brass bayonet mount, offering rigidity and precision mounting, along with a seal to protect against dust and moisture. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

As part of Sigma’s Art line in the Global Vision series, this lens is designed to deliver truly exceptional optical performance, making it well-suited for creative and artistic applications. It is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras and is also compatible with DX models, providing a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.
