Introducing the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art - Sony E Mount

The World’s Fastest Ultra-Wide-Angle Lens for Mirrorless Cameras

The Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens is the perfect prime lens for photographers looking to capture stunning landscapes, astrophotography, interiors, weddings, travel, and architectural shots. With its ultra-wide aperture of F1.4, this lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing for fast shutter speeds and providing a shallow depth-of-field for pronounced subject separation.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-Wide Aperture: The F1.4 aperture ensures exceptional performance in low light and enables beautiful bokeh, making it ideal for night sky photography and other low-light scenarios.
  • Professional-Level Features:
    • Aperture Ring with De-Click and Lock Switches: Allows for smooth, stepless aperture adjustments.
    • AFL Button: Customisable for various functions.
    • Lockable Lens Hood: Robust and designed to protect the front element.
    • Rear Filter Holder: Accommodates rear filters, offering additional versatility.
    • Lens Heater Retainer: Ideal for astrophotographers needing to prevent lens fogging.
    • Manual Focus Lock: Ensures the focus setting remains stable once locked.
  • Advanced Optical Design: Incorporates two SLD and three aspherical elements, including the largest double-sided aspherical element in Sigma’s history, to minimise chromatic aberration, sagittal coma flare, and distortion, delivering highly detailed and sharp images.

Specifications:

  • Optical Construction: 19 elements in 15 groups, including 4 aspherical elements, 1 SLD element, and 3 FLD elements.
  • Angle of View: 114.2°
  • Aperture Range: F1.4 to F16
  • Minimum Focusing Distance: 30 cm
  • Weight: 1170g
  • Dimensions: 101.4mm diameter, 151.9mm length
  • Filter Holder: Rear filter holder for SD card-sized filters.

Exceptional Build Quality:

The Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens boasts exceptional build quality, typical of Sigma's Art line. The exterior barrel is made from Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), which is both strong and lightweight, with a thermal expansion rate similar to aluminium, ensuring uniform performance across varying temperatures. The lens also features a rubberised focus ring for ease of operation, and internal focusing keeps the lens length constant, making it perfect for use on a gimbal.

Professional Feature Set:

The lens includes a range of professional features, such as an AF/MF switch, a customisable AFL button, and switches to de-click and lock the aperture ring. Additionally, the Manual Focus Lock switch ensures that focus settings remain unchanged even if the focus ring is accidentally moved.

High-Performance Optics:

The optical performance of the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is outstanding, with edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration, flare, and distortion. Advanced Super Multi-Layer Coatings reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring high-contrast images with rich colours and strong blacks.

Ideal for Wide Landscapes:

With its 114.2° angle of view, the 14mm lens is perfect for capturing expansive landscapes, creating a sense of depth, and exaggerating the size of foreground objects. This makes it an ideal choice for scenes with interesting or dominant foregrounds.

The Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens delivers superb edge-to-edge detail, even on the highest resolution mirrorless cameras, ensuring rich, true-to-life colours and eye-catching results straight out of the camera.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
