Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens – Sigma SA Mount

The Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a wide-angle prime ideal for travel, landscape, wedding, architecture, lowlight and event photography. Designed for full-frame but will also work with APS-C sensors, the lens features Sigma’s latest technology for the best in image quality and edge-to-edge sharpness. Using premium FLD & SLD glass elements, the lens brings aberrations and distortion to a minimum, an issue many wide-angle lenses suffer from.

Art line delivers high-level artistic expression

SIGMA is organizing all its interchangeable lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art, and Sports, where each line has a distinctive concept. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. With the astonishing rendering performance that meets the high standard, along with landscapes, portraits still-life, close-up, and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture and starry skies and many other scenes.

The highest optical performance in its class

By minimizing aberration using the latest design technology and know-how that has been accumulated from lens development over many years, the Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens achieves astonishing rendering performance, even in the corners, with ultra-high resolution. Whilst featuring higher resolution around the focus point, the lens ensures a smooth and natural bokeh effect. Both high definition rendering without colour aberration and natural bokeh expression are possible, even from the maximum aperture.

Excellent correction of sagittal coma flare

Generally, it is ideal for a lens to have a high rendering performance from the maximum aperture throughout the entire image. For instance, sagittal coma flare, where the point light sources do not gather at one point and leave a tail, is a typical flare that occurs especially with wide-angle lenses. The Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens has an optimized power layout, positioning aspherical lens elements at the rear and adjusting the incidence angle of the light source, enabling high rendering performance even from the widest aperture. It is perfect for astronomical photography and shooting illuminations because of the reduced blur on the point light sources near the edge of the image.

Minimised distortion

It is not possible to compensate for distortion that is often observed with wide-angle lenses just by changing the aperture value. Therefore, the lens development stage was vital in ensuring minimized distortion. The Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens adjusted the incidence angle of the light source from the surface of the first lens and positioned each aspherical glass element to optimize the power layout at respective positions. This has helped it succeed in minimizing distortion throughout the entire image.

High peripheral brightness

For a lens with a large diameter, brightness in the peripheral areas tends to be consequently lower compared to the centre. By improving the efficiency at large apertures and minimizing vignetting, it secures very good brightness. Without considering the lack of light even at the open aperture, it ensures high contrast images for indoor photography, astronomical photography and when photographing blue sky.
