Key Features
- L-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2 to f/22
- One SLD Element
- Three Aspherical Elements
An inherently flexible focal length, the Leica L-mount 35mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma is a sleek wide-angle prime pairing a bright design with a portable form factor. The standard wide field of view is useful for a broad array of subject types, including landscape, street, and reportage shooting, and the f/2 maximum aperture excels in challenging lighting and enables greater control over depth of field. In terms of the optical design, three aspherical elements and one SLD element are used to minimize a variety of aberrations and distortion for sharp and accurate rendering. Also, a Super Multi-Layer Coating helps to control ghosting and flare for improved color fidelity and contrast.

Which lens is better for every day use and ...
Which lens is better for every day use and different genres (including portraits), this one or 45 2.8?
I apologize in advance for the vague answer, but "better" will very much depend on the kind of photographs you make and the kind of compositions you enjoy.
Typically, 35mm/40mm are seen as more "traditional" for street photography, but the 45mm might offer you tighter, slightly more intimate perspectives during everyday shooting. Truthfully, there isn't a significant difference between them, and you should be able to enjoy making photographs with either!
With regards to portraiture, the longer focal length 45 is typically better due to lesser distortion, but depending on your type of portraiture (environmental portraits versus headshot/corporate portraiture), this will also vary the choice of lens.

There's a ring to select aperture on this lens. However, is it still possible to dial the aperture from the aperture wheel on the SL rather than through the aperture ring on the lens?
Yes there is a way. Turn the aperture ring to "A" (like it shows in the photo) and you'll have control through the camera instead of the lens.

What’s the difference between this lens and the Art lens? Does anyone know? Thanks
In addition to the excellent answer provided by B&H, most of Sigmaâs Contemporary lenses arenât weather-sealed, and are constructed less durably than their Art-series lenses.
Sigmaâs I-Series Contemporary lenses on the other hand have a rubber gasket at the lens mount and are made of metal. So theyâre better-constructed than Sigmaâs other Contemporary lenses.

Can autofocus on this lens be turned on and off from the camera body? Thanks.
If the camera you own has the ability to turn the autofocus feature on and off via the camera's menu, then yes, it can be done from either the camera body via the menu or via the AF/MF switch on the lens. When you disable the autofocus either via the camera's menu or directly on the lens, you would enable the fine focus ring function for manual focus usage needs.

Hello: what advantages and disadvantages of this lens, compared to the Sony FE 50mm f / 2.8 Macro Lens ?, thanks in advance
While we have not had a chance to try this lens out, on paper the differences would be the focal length (35mm versus 50mm), the wider aperture (f/2 versus f/2.8), minimum focusing distance (35mm has 10" versus 50mm's 6"), autofocus speed (macro lenses are typically slower).
