Optical character
The second-generation 35mm F1.2 keeps the f/1.2 aperture but is about 30% lighter and 20% shorter than the 2019 DG DN. The L-Mount version weighs 755g and is 111.4mm long, with a 72mm filter thread. A floating-focus design with four glass-molded double-sided aspherical elements and one SLD element targets axial colour fringing and sagittal coma flare, and focus breathing is suppressed for video.
Two HLA linear motors each drive one of the two focus groups. The barrel has an AFL button, an AF/MF switch, an aperture ring with separate click and lock switches, dust and splash sealing with a water- and oil-repellent front coating, and a locking petal hood. On L-Mount it supports switching between linear and non-linear manual focus response and works with Sigma's UD-11 USB dock.
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers report excellent centre sharpness from f/1.2, good to very good edges, and corners that become excellent across the frame by about f/5.6. Chromatic aberration stays very low, distortion is close to zero, and coma and astigmatism are well corrected. Bokeh is described as soft and smooth, and focus breathing is almost completely suppressed. Autofocus is fast, quiet and accurate.
The one consistent weakness is very strong vignetting on full frame at f/1.2. Some rival f/1.2 lenses are a little sharper in the centre, but this one is the smallest and lightest of the group, and testers rate it good value for a pro-grade f/1.2 prime even at its higher price. One reviewer would have liked a second function button for vertical shooting.
