#SIGMA 35MM MANUAL#

In case of manual focusing the MF ring is large and operate smoothly. Its ergonomics are very good an aperture ring that can be switched to click or clickless The weight is very reasonable compared to the Sigma 35mm F1.2 but a bit more heavier than The Sony 35mm F1.4 GM The very first impression you get with this lens is its compactness and very good build quality. It also directly compete with the Sony 35mm F1.4 GM (1700 euros) It aims as offering a top quality lens but at a smaller size and price than the Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN Art (1400 Euros). The Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG DN was specially designed for mirrorless and is replacing the Sigma 35mm F/1.4 DG HSM Art designed for DSLR.

Buttons : AF/MF, focus hold click/clickless switch.

Manual focus can be enabled either via this switch or the switch on your camera (note that manual focus adjustments can be made even when this switch is set to 'AF', as described at the top of this page). Sigma 35mm Top View with Hood - Click to EnlargeĪpart from the focusing ring, the only other control on the barrel of the lens is the AF/MF switch, which is located on the left side of the lens. The front of the lens does not rotate when focusing. If you'd like to mount a filter on the front of the lens, you can: a standard 67mm filter thread is provided. Although the hood can be reversed for convenient storage, it does cover the entire focusing ring when reversed, which prevents you from focusing manually unless you take it off or flip it. It is easy to mount and there is no play. The petal-shaped lens hood mounts sturdily onto the bayonet at the front of the lens. The rudimentary depth of field scale also isn't very helpful due to the short focus throw of the lens. This lens has a distance scale just below the focusing ring, but it can be hard to read at times due to the small opening. This can be a nuisance if you frequently swap between Sigma and non-Sigma lenses. Sigma lenses differ from Pentax and Nikon lenses in that they focus 'backwards': you turn the ring to the left rather than to the right to focus toward infinity, and vice-versa to focus closer. Like other modern high-end lenses, the Sigma 35mm allows for full-time manual focus adjustments using the focusing ring (Pentax calls this Quick Shift, a feature found on most DA lenses). It does not rotate during autofocus nor does it have hard stops for infinity and minimum focus. The focusing ring turns smoothly and allows for very fine control of the focus thanks to internal gearing. If we had to be picky, then we'd say that the Pentax Limited lenses look better design-wise, but this is of course a minor detail. The barrel of the lens is made of metal and gives you plenty to hold on to while also offering a sizable focusing ring.
