Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art

Sharp from edge to edge. Minimal distortion. Wide aperture. 9.8-inch close focus. Full-frame coverage. Available for multiple camera systems.

Noticeable fall-off at f/1.4 and f/2. May require focus adjustment via USB Dock. Large and heavy. Omits stabilization.

Image Quality and Conclusions I used Imatest to see how sharp the lens was when paired with the 20-megapixel 6D. At f/1.4 it puts up excellent sharpness numbers, scoring 2,360 lines per picture height on a center-weighted test. That's better than the...

Outstanding performance in the corners of a high-resolution full-frame sensor even wide open ; Good build quality ; Quiet and fast AF operation ; Relatively low price compared to the big names ; Low distortions ; Relatively low longitudinal CA ; USB...

Performance at the borders/corners of the DX/APS-C image circle at closer distances could be better ; No weather sealing

The Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art is a very compelling addition to large aperture wide-angle lenses: it combines very good performance overall with Sigma's build-quality of the "Art" series. In optical performance this lens has only two flaws: It has some...

Excellent sharpness ; Very low CA ; Low distortion ; Well built ; Fast focusing ; Keenly priced

No weather sealing ; Falloff at maximum aperture (although typical for the type of lens)

Te lang, niet gelezen? De meetresultaten bevestigen de praktijk (of andersom): de Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art verslaat de veel duurdere Canon 24 mm f/1.4 L II ook als het op beeldkwaliteit aankomt.

Usual distortion for a 24 mm ; More sensitive to ghosts than the other Sigma Art lenses

Anyone who has a camera with an APS-C sensor and is searching for a field of view that approximately corresponds with that of a 35 mm lens on a full-frame sensor absolutely has to look at the Sigma 24 mm f/1.4 Art. Qualitatively seen, every prosumer or...
