Description
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art is Sigma’s second-generation 35mm f/1.4 for full-frame mirrorless, released in April 2026, and this Sigma 35mm rental is the Sony E-mount version. It replaces the 2021 35mm f/1.4 DG DN with a new 15-element optical design, a dual HLA linear autofocus motor and Sigma’s new AAC anti-flare coating, in a body about 14% shorter and roughly 115 g lighter at 525 g. Browse the rest of our photo and video lenses.
The barrel carries the controls working shooters use: an aperture ring with a click / de-click switch and a lock switch, two assignable AFL buttons and an AF/MF switch, all in a dust- and splash-resistant build. Thirty-five millimetres frames close to how the eye sees a room or a street, which is why it gets used for documentary work, weddings, interiors, environmental portraits and run-and-gun video. Pair it with our Sony A7R V for a complete full-frame kit.

Sigma 35mm Rental Tips
Flip the click switch to de-click for silent, stepless exposure changes mid-shot. Leave it clicked for stills so you can feel each stop.
With the ring on A and the lock on, aperture is set from the camera dial. If the ring will not turn, check the lock switch before forcing it.
The petal hood leaves little room to rotate a 67 mm polarizer or variable ND. Set the filter first, then attach the hood, or shoot without it when you need to adjust.
Wide open the corners darken noticeably. Leave Sony’s shading compensation on, or apply the Sigma profile in Lightroom or Capture One, and stop down to f/2.8 for more even frames.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this the new DG II version or the older DG DN?
This is the DG II, the second-generation lens Sigma began shipping in April 2026. It is smaller and lighter than the 2021 DG DN and uses a new optical design and linear autofocus motor.
Which cameras does it fit?
This copy is Sony E-mount. It fits full-frame Sony bodies such as the A7 series, A1, FX3 and FX6, and also mounts on APS-C Sony cameras like the FX30 and A6700, where it frames like a 52mm lens.
Are there any limits using a Sigma lens on Sony?
Sony caps continuous shooting with autofocus at 15 frames per second on third-party lenses, so for very fast action bursts on an A1 or A9 a native Sony lens shoots faster. Eye AF, video AF and everything else work normally.
Is it a good lens for video?
Yes. It has a linear autofocus motor, a de-clickable aperture ring and a 67 mm filter thread for variable ND filters, and at 525 g it balances easily on a small gimbal.
Can I use it on a Canon, Nikon or L-mount camera?
No. Sigma makes an L-mount version, but we stock the Sony E version, and it will not adapt to Canon or Nikon bodies.
What comes with the Sigma 35mm rental?
The lens, its petal hood, front and rear caps and a pouch. Filters are not included.
