About the Sigma Photo 35mm F/1.4
Nothing matches the presence and clarity of a wide-aperture lens that's designed to operate at just one focal length. Lenses that meet this description are called "fast primes," because they gather lots of light and they aren't zoom lenses. The optical pathway is less complex than on a zoom lens, and so the images are often breathtakingly sharp. This lens offers a generous field of view with no apparent distortion when placed on a full-frame camera. Its 35mm focal length and compact size makes it an excellent choice for travel photography, indoor events, and all-around picture taking, as it's easy to compose a frame simply by walking around. The large maximum f/1.4 aperture lets in plenty of light, allowing faster shutter speeds to "freeze" moving subjects. It also makes it perfect for shooting indoors when the lights are low.

Features
Overview: The Sigma AF 35mm F1.4 DG HSM (Model #340) is a state of the art lens for travel, wedding and events, portrait, or artistic photography. The lens is designed to be used with full-frame cameras, but can also work with cameras with APS-C size sensors. The lens has the Canon EF mount, and comes with a padded carrying case, lens hood, and front and rear caps.
Art Category: This lens is the first addition to the Art Category in Sigma's Global Vision series, and can take artistic expression to the next level. The lens' special designation is signified with a silver "A" on the lens barrel.
Lens Hood: The 35mm lens includes a lens hood to help prevent stray light from entering the lens, causing flare, and to protect the lens from rain, snow, and dust. When not in use, the lens hood can be inverted and mounted onto the lens backwards for storage.
Focus Mode Switch: The lens features a two-way switch for setting the focus mode: AF (auto focus) or MF (manual focus).
Sigma Technology: The lens has the following Sigma technologies built-in:
- Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM): The Hyper Sonic Motor uses ultrasonic waves to drive the autofocus mechanism. This extremely quiet operation helps avoid disturbing photographic subjects, and isn't picked up by the microphone while recording video.
- USB Dock Compatible: The lens is compatible with the optional Sigma USB dock (sold separately) for updating the lens' firmware. Sigma has developed special Optimization Pro software that can adjust parameters such as focus through a firmware update.
- Super Multi-layer Coating: Sigma's own Super Multi-layer Coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting by preventing reflections within the lens.
- Rounded Diaphragm: Using a rounded diaphragm instead of a polygonal shaped one produces pleasingly rounded out-of-focus light points when opened to near maximum aperture.
