Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art
The 35mm f/1.4 DG II Art is the 2026 successor to Sigma's iconic 35mm Art, now smaller and sharper, and the standout performer in this group. At 525g with a 67mm thread, it's a premium event and documentary prime for Sony E and L-mount. Skip it if you're on a budget, where Viltrox or Samyang 35s cost considerably less, or if you shoot Canon RF, Nikon Z, or Fuji X, since it isn't offered there.
