The Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG HSM is a state of the art lens designed for full frame cameras but can also be used with APS-C sensors as well. The first addition to the Art category in Sigma’s Global Vision, the 35mm 1.4 DG HSM includes new features based around a unique lens concept and design. The 35mm is a staple focal length in the world of photography, and paired with Sigma technology, this lens can take artistic expression to the next level. The lens is equipped with technology including a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), floating internal focusing system, SLD and FLD Glass elements. The HSM ensures quiet, high speed, accurate autofocusing while the floating focusing system allows for superior optical performance with subjects at a closer shooting distance. The SLD glass elements along with the FLD glass elements, which are equal to fluorite, help correct both axial and chromatic aberration. The large 1.4 aperture make it ideal in low light and the lens is compatible with the Sigma USB dock and Optimization Pro software to adjust and fine tune focusing parameters. The Sigma 35mm 1.4 DG HSM is a must have for any camera bag.&nbsp;

I like to stick with the 1.4 aperture because I think you get a really good range of the depth of field is really great so you get to see the model very clearly but the background is  also laid out very nicely because of the depth of field. This is a Sigma 35 1.4 art Lens and it’s a little bit different than just the regular 35 millimeter because it’s specifically for like more artistic shots and it gives like a little bit more of just a cinematic feel to the photos which is why this is my go-to lens for everything.

It’s got such a unique look to it and also you can just shoot anything with it because it’s just so versatile.

they get the job done just as well as the Canon Lens and it’s a Japanese Company. It’s versatile with Canon so you can put any Sigma Lenses onto your Canon camera. I like using a 35 millimeter because I like to shoot full body. I like to get the full outfit, the full pose.
