Sigma announces update to the hugely popular 35mm F1.4 Art series lens

Sigma has announced the long-awaited and highly anticipated update to the acclaimed 35mm F1.4 DG Art series lens.  The new Mark II model promises faster focusing and improved image quality thanks to the adoption of new glass types, including two Super Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and a total of four “high-precision” aspherical elements.

Sigma says, “the lens thoroughly suppresses aberrations, particularly axial (longitudinal) chromatic aberration,” which is typically difficult to control with high-speed lenses such as this.

The new lens also features a new Advanced Amorphous Coating (AAC) to reduce ghosting and flare, and is both 14% shorter and 20% lighter than the previous model.

Available in Sony E and Leica SL mounts, the lens will be available from Thursday, April 16, 2026, for £849 inc VAT.
