Leica SL2 (Black) + Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art Lens
SL2 Body - Black
A unique 47MP sensor designed with only two glass elements to minimize stray reflections and allow Leica SL lenses
to deliver the finest resolution and a tri-dimensional focal plane separation, and with a unique design of micro lenses
- together with a unique light sensor on the body
- to allow Leica M lenses to deliver their legendary unparalleled quality.
A unique EyeRes® EVF that matches an outstanding 5.75MP panel with an eye-piece built with finest metal and glass and the
tightest mechanical and optical tolerances to deliver an unmatched viewing experience, and allow the easiest composition of the image.
A unique user interface, separated for photo and video functions, simple and intuitive to allow the photographer to focus on picture
taking and live an unparalleled experience, developed through feedbacks of customers and professional photographers worldwide.
A unique multi-axis in-body stabilisation to allow the unmatched 60lpm-optimized Apo-ASPH SL prime lenses to be built without
lens stabilisation, thus achieving the tighter tolerances needed to guarantee the perfect and constant alignment of the all-glass
lens elements on the optical axis, without compromising the fast-focusing speed guaranteed by the new Leica Object Detection AF, while
delivering the unparalleled image quality that has made Leica lenses legendary since more than 100 years.
Featuring an L bayonet lens mount, the Leica SL2 is not only compatible with the ever-growing portfolio of SL System lenses,
but also with lenses of the TL-System and with the legendary lenses of Leica's M, S and R Systems via the M-Adapter-T/L, providing more
than 170 Leica lens options, guaranteed to offer the right fit for any photographic scenario.

Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN Art - L Mount
The evolution of a classic.
The 35mm F1.4 Art is reborn.
- 1. Exceptional optical performance
- 2. Fast and quiet AF in a compact body
- 3. Professional feature-set
SIGMA is delighted to introduce you to the new Gold standard in wide-aperture 35mm primes.
Designed exclusively for use with mirrorless cameras, the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is light enough to feel
perfectly balanced on a compact mirrorless camera,
yet is packed with an array of professional features including ultra-fast AF, a de-clickable and lockable aperture ring and a customisable AFL button.
This gives the lens operability and portability without compromise,
- making it as ideal for professional projects as it is for casual outings, - and as well-suited to video as it is stills.
Exceptional optical performance
Central to the design of the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is its sophisticated optical performance, which is consistent with the development of all Art line lenses.
- The lens incorporates 15 elements in 11 groups.
- With two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements,
- an Extraordinary Low Dispersion (ELD) element,
- an 'F' Low Dispersion (FLD) element
- and two aspherical elements, and as well as other high-performance glass, the lens' advanced optical construction
utilises SIGMA's state-of-the-art optical design technology, minimising all types of aberration including axial chromatic
aberration, which cannot be corrected in-camera.
In spite of having a very wide aperture of F1.4, the lens is able to control sagittal coma flare extremely well even wide
open, stopping bright points of light from flaring out near the edges of the frame.
This will be particularly appealing to night sky photographers.
Owing to its 11 rounded diaphragm blades, the lens displays smooth, round bokeh so that out-of-focus areas are not distracting.
This makes the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art well-suited to portraits, supported by its ultra-sharp image quality and minimal colour bleeding.
It also performs very well in backlit conditions thanks to SIGMA's anti-ghosting and anti-flare technology that it has cultivated
through countless simulations and real-life testing in our many years of lens development.
This keeps shots high contrast and free of excessive flare even when working in difficult light.
Fast and quiet AF in a compact body
The focusing mechanism in the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art features a stepping motor.
This motor controls a focusing lens group composed of a single, lightweight element, which means AF is responsive and quiet, and is
able to keep track of moving objects very effectively.
Manual focusing is smooth and precise, but with the right amount of resistance for film-makers.
Certainly, this lens has a focus mode switch on the body.
The SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art wholly embraces the Art line concept, which is "designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance".
This-paired with its advanced autofocus performance and the convenience of a compact size-makes for a lens that raises the standards.
Professional feature-set
On the body of the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is an aperture ring that allows aperture to be controlled via the lens, or when set to Auto,
using the camera.
An aperture lock switch on the lens body allows the aperture ring to be locked in Auto so that it's not accidentally knocked during shooting.
A big plus for film-makers, the aperture ring can be de-clicked, allowing users to seamlessly adjust exposure.
Also on the lens barrel is a focus mode switch and an AFL button, which can be customised to a desired function from within the camera menu
(depending on the model).
The switch is ergonomically positioned to be controlled by the thumb during use.
A petal type lens hood is included in the box, which helps reduce flare and offers the lens added protection if dropped.
The hood has a lock mechanism that keeps it attached securely to the lens, and its rubberised grip makes it quick and easy to attach and remove.
On top of this impressive array of features and elegant exterior, the body of the 35mm F1.4 DG DN | Art offers an exceptional level of
durability that helps it withstand long-term professional use as well as individual operating parts that give a good fit to the hand.
The dust and splash proof structure provides sealing on buttons and along joins between constituent parts,
and there's a rubber gasket around the mount. There's also a water and oil repellent coating applied to the front element ensures
that photographers can rely on it in any conditions.
