Review VerdictSigma is a big fan of prime lenses. As of the time of this writing, they are offering no less than 24 prime lenses for E-mount - and they obviously know what they are doing. The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN ART is another great option for high-speed prime lovers. The lens produces excellent results in most criteria. It's already sharp at f/1.4 and impressively so at medium aperture settings. Lateral CAs and image distortions are very low. Another highlight is the nice rendering of the bokeh. The vignetting is typical for a lens in this class. Weaker aspects are LoCAs and sun star rendering. The build quality is excellent and comparable to the best professional OEM lenses. Needless to say -it also uses a dust- and splash resistant design. The AF is fast and noiseless, with the usual caveat that this also heavily depends on the camera. Overall, Sigma has another winner here, and it's even affordable relatively to the performance. Unless you really want to smaller form factor and brand recognition of the Sony 35mm f/1.4 GM, it is an obvious choice.

Field Notes02

Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is a Sony E/FE mount prime for low-light and general-purpose shooting. It has a bright fixed aperture for shallow depth of field and portrait-style work.
