Sigma Launches New 135mm F1.4, 35mm F1.2 Art Lenses for Sony, Leica E, L-Mounts

Sigma has introduced two notable prime lenses enhancing its ART series: the 135mm F/1.4 DG ART and the 35mm F/1.2 DG II Art. The 135mm F/1.4 DG ART, designed for Sony E and Leica L-mount cameras, is the longest focal length prime in Sigma's lineup and features an ultra-wide aperture, promising exceptional subject separation, creamy bokeh, and high-end optical performance ideal for portrait and event photography. It boasts a complex 17-element optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and a fast, precise autofocus system with a dust- and moisture-resistant build. Meanwhile, the 35mm F/1.2 DG II Art lens is a smaller, lighter successor to the 2019 model, offering improved image quality, faster autofocus, and a more compact design while maintaining the bright F1.2 aperture suited for varied photography genres. Both lenses emphasize sharpness and beautiful bokeh, catering to professional photographers seeking high-performance optics. Additionally, Sigma's 135mm F/1.4 DG Art lens is competitively priced below Sony's 135mm F1.8 GM, earning it an Editors' Choice accolade for delivering superior optical quality and value.
