Sigma 35mm F2 DG DN Contemporary

This is a full-frame prime lens for Sony E, covering 35 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2. It weighs 325 g and is weather-sealed, and was released in 2020. That combination suits street, travel and low-light photography.

It is a compact wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It offers a bright f/2 maximum aperture, providing excellent low-light performance and depth-of-field control. The lens features a manual aperture ring and a stepping motor for smooth and quiet autofocus, making it suitable for both photography and videography. Its optical design includes Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass and aspherical elements to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images. The all-metal construction with dust and splash resistance ensures durability and a premium feel.
