Our highly elaborate products are appreciated by the most knowledgeable professionals and amateurs around the world because they are born of an authentic artisan spirit, honed by the passion and pride of our employees.

The full accomplishment of the Art Line concept

Designed to deliver exemplary optical performance and unparalleled creative strength, the Art line's lenses deliver exceptional image quality. With an unprecedented expressive force, these objectives meet the expectations of photographers seeking artistic sense and creativity. Whether for the landscapes, the portrait, the still life, the close-up photography or the reportage, they reveal the artistic fiber of the photographer. Perfect in the studio, they are just as comfortable for architecture, starry skies, underwater shooting, and many more. Perfect fulfillment of the Art concept, the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM is the perfect standard. Take it in your hands and enjoy with your eyes what it is capable of.
Minimal axial chromatic aberration and superb peripheral resolution

Number of aberrations can affect the image quality of a lens. Chromatic aberration is one of the main ones, and minimizing it is essential. There are two types: the transverse, which can be rectified by digital processing, and the axial which is difficult to correct after shooting. In the Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, FLD lenses ("F" Low Dispersion), with characteristics equivalent to fluorite, and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) optimize the power of reproduction of the optics. This optimization minimizes both axial chromatic aberration and transverse chromatic aberration. Aspherical lenses minimize astigmatism and distortion. All of these elements generate a resolution of the highest level both in the center and on the edges of the image.
