The Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art Lens is designed specifically for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, offering a versatile range of wide-angle focal lengths with exceptional image quality while prioritizing compactness and lightness.
This Art-series zoom lens stands out with its fast f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, allowing you to confidently shoot in various lighting conditions. Its sophisticated optical design incorporates a combination of low dispersion and aspherical elements to effectively minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range, resulting in remarkable sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. The lens is also equipped with a Super Multi-Layer Coating and Nano Porous Coating, surpassing traditional anti-reflective coatings, to effectively reduce lens flare and ghosting. This ensures superior contrast and accurate color reproduction even in challenging lighting situations.
While offering full-time manual focus, the lens features a stepping motor that delivers smooth, high-speed autofocus performance, renowned for its quiet operation. It excels in autofocus features such as Face/Eye Detection AF and is equally impressive during video recording. The lens also includes a built-in Autofocus-Lock (AFL) button that can be customized to expand the range of available lens functions. Additionally, the rounded 11-blade diaphragm enhances image quality by producing smooth and pleasing bokeh. The lens hood, built directly into the design, serves the dual purpose of protecting the front element and preventing stray light from causing unwanted flare.
As a member of Sigma’s Art line within the Global Vision series, this lens is meticulously crafted to achieve remarkable optical performance, making it an excellent choice for creative and artistic applications.
