Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN Art II: Weight & Portability

It's compact and lightweight, delivers on the optical quality, and it's comfortable in both stills and video.

Those additional ‘special’ elements in the optical construction, combined with a floating focus system and some miniaturisation in the mechanics of the lens, have allowed the designers to shave 14% from the length of the barrel and 20% off the weight.

I liked that the original 35mm Art lens for DSLRs was a lot less chunky than many Sigma Art lenses, which were typically designed with premium image quality in mind and no compromise in terms of size and weight.
