Professional-level performance in a compact package, bringing you
new creative possibilities.
The SIGMA I series introduces compact,
beautifully designed, high-performance optics for mirrorless camera systems. In
its first collection, SIGMA introduces a versatile 35mm prime lens to the
Contemporary line-up, which combines excellent resolving power with a small
body that is perfectly weighted for mirrorless systems.
The 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, a classic
wide standard prime which photographers would not want to compromise on, comes
with a maximum aperture of F2, and offers both compactness and high optical
performance. Its modest size and weight make it portable enough to be carried
around in a small kitbag for day-to-day shooting, but owing to its outstanding
optical quality, wide aperture, and the high quality constructed body which is
guaranteed for the I series, it is equally comfortable being used for
professional photo such as night sky photography and video works. This all-new
wide standard lens is designed for photographers who value the experience of
taking a picture just as much as the quality of the results.
I series: A new photographic experience, “Premium Compact Primes”
for mirrorless users
The SIGMA I series features
full-frame-compatible lenses that offer mirrorless users a new and better
alternative, both in the experience of shooting with the lens and in the
impressive results it is able to achieve.
One of the key advantages of mirrorless cameras is their smaller form-factor,
and this new 35mm optic is designed to be perfectly matched to these more
compact systems without sacrificing performance. This combination of superb
optical quality with exceptional portability, not previously possible with DSLR
systems, will bring new opportunities to this and future generations of
photographers.
Simultaneously, SIGMA is aware that, in this day and age when we have such huge
diversity when it comes to what we use to photograph, as represented by
smartphones, people look for something more than a mere act of "taking
pictures" when they choose to own a camera and lenses.
SIGMA's excellence in development and processing technologies has been built up
since its founding in 1961, and has become further sophisticated with the
introduction of the SIGMA Global Vision in 2012. With this as a base, SIGMA has
given careful thought how photographers use and enjoy their lenses, including
optical design, advanced functionality, build quality and the experience of
picking up and using the lens, and with all of this carefully considered, the I
series was born.
New standards of optical performance for the Contemporary line
The
35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary brings to the table the highest level of optical
performance at a maximum aperture of F2 with a lens body of a size that matches
a mirrorless system.
Axial chromatic aberration, a point of particular concern with a bright lens,
is corrected with SLD glass, while an optimal placement of high-refractive
index elements provides effective correction of various types of aberration
while keeping the amount of glass used to a minimum. The use of three
high-precision glass-molded aspherical lenses, which were made possible thanks
to advanced production technology at the Aizu factory, SIGMA's only production
site. These elements provide correction of spherical aberration and field
curvature, and the fluctuation of aberration at the time of focusing. The lens
design also provides a very good correction of sagittal coma aberration, making
it capable of capturing details fine enough for it to be used for night sky
photography.
Thanks
to cutting edge optical design and advanced processing technology, the 35mm F2
DG DN | Contemporary offers consistent, high resolving power right across the
frame.
Use of multiple high-precision aspherical glass molded lenses
The
surface of molds for glass molding, which is a process that forms optical
components by pressing glass materials at high temperatures, requires
ultra-high precision. SIGMA uses high-precision molds whose surfaces are
controlled with an accuracy of ±5 nanometers (0.000005 mm) or smaller. High
precision aspherical glass molded lenses archives both good aberration
correction and compact lens size.
Exceptional I series build quality with a compact form-factor
All
I series lenses have an all-metal construction. The precision-cut aluminum
parts not only give the barrel a sleek, stylish finish, but provide superb
durability, which improves the quality of the entire product. Metal materials
are also used in internal structures that slide with the operation ring for
added robustness. These high-precision components crafted with SIGMA’s cutting-edge
metalworking technology are also used in SIGMA’s cine lens line-up for
professional cinematographers and provides an exquisite feel to touch as well
as sound effects, making photographers want to reach for it and play with it
over and over again.
