Let’s turn the clock back to 2012. The original Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art was unleashed as the very first ‘Art’ lens in Sigma’s Global Vision line-up. Designed primarily for Canon and Nikon full-frame DSLRs, it was the best 35mm prime lens that I’d ever used at the time.
Keeping abreast of changes in the marketplace, Sigma brought out a subsequent 35mm f/1.4 DG DN | Art for mirrorless cameras in 2021, available in Sony E mount and L-mount options. The latest Mark II pushes the envelope even further, with a raft of improvements that aim to ensure that it keeps top spot as one of best 35mm lenses on the market. Even so, it’s still only available in the same two mount options.
