Used Sigma 35mm f/1.4 A DG HSM A Lens - Canon EF

The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens is a full-frame DSLR camera lens that is highly popular with wedding photographers, studio, fashion and portrait photographers. Offering a 35mm focal length, this lens is suitable for everyday shooting and portraiture. Featuring a constant f/1.4 aperture enables photographers to have uncompromising control over their shutter speed and depth of field. At its maximum f/1.4 aperture, this lens will produce extreme shallow depth of field effects and create beautiful, silky background blurring for both stills and video. It also allows photographers to use higher shutter speeds under low-light conditions when taking pictures or video recording. The 9-blade aperture diaphragm of this lens is what helps to deliver attractive out-of-focus highlights, also known as bokeh.

As an Art lens, the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 features F Low Dispersion (FLD) glass elements, with performance comparable to fluorite, as well as Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements. Coated with a Super Multi-Layer Coating this lens and its internal components ensure that it will help produce sharp, contrasty images with reduced ghosting, unattractive flares, distortion and aberrations.

A favourite among wedding photographers, this lens offers a good balance between price, low-light performance, sharpness and shallow depth of field effects. This 35mm also benefits from Sigma’s Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) technology, quietly and quickly actuating to deliver consistently crisp focusing results.

When paired with selected full-frame Canon DSLR cameras, such as the Canon EOS 5DS and 5DS R, the reach of this 35mm lens can be extended to 56mm in cropped-format mode. This same increase in reach occurs when this lens is used on an APS-C-format Canon camera such as the Canon EOS 750D.
