Sigma announces new 35mm F1.2 for full-frame Sony and Leica cameras

Sigma has announced a new 35mm F1.2 DG Art series prime for Sony E-mount and Leica SL-mount cameras. This new DG II model is a completely new design and replaces the previous version. Being around 30% lighter and 20% shorter, it boasts a significant decrease in size and weight.

The redesigned lens features one SLD element, four asphericals and an undisclosed number of elements made from high anomalous dispersion glass. It also features a floating element design by virtue of two High-response linear actuators, one each for the two focusing groups. When changing focus, the dedicated AF acutator in combination with the adoption of the aspherical elements “significantly suppresses focus-breathing,” according to Sigma.

The lens costs £1299 (inc VAT) and will be available from 25 September 2025.

Sigma also introduced two further new lenses: the 135mm F1.4 DG Art, which is similar to the existing 105mm F1.4 DG Art lens, and the more general-purpose 20-200mm F3.5-6.3 Contemporary.
