The lens is not larger than the DSLR version. This lens is 75mm in diameter, 111.5mm long and weighs 640g. The Canon EF version of the the old 35 f/1.4 Art DG is 77mm in diameter, 94mm long and weighs 665g. The only dimension that is less on the DSLR version is the length and that is because the registration distance is much longer on a DSLR (about 26mm longer in this case). If you add that extra registration distance--like when you add an adapter--the DSLR version is fatter, longer, and much heavier. Even without the adapter the DSLR version is fatter and heavier. The much better comparison to this lens is the E-mount version of the DSLR lens--the 35 f/1.4 DG. It is 2mm fatter, 8.5mm longer, and 115g heavier.
So, really there is no question this new DG DN is smaller than the old DSLR version. Is it small by enough to matter to you? That is a personal question that only you can answer?
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that this new Sigma 35 f/1.4 DG DN is almost exactly half-way in between the old DSLR version for E-mount and the Sony 35 f/1.4 GM. This new lens is 2mm skinnier, 8.5mm shorter, and 115g lighter than the DSLR version and it is 1mm fatter, 15.5mm longer, and 116g heavier than the Sony GM....Show more →
Unless my calculations are off, by volume it is larger than the DSLR version, a 15g weight difference is a push. And being longer it takes more space in the bag. It would be appealing to me if it were closer to the DSLR lens, not the clunky version with the goofy adapter. YMMV.
