Many photographers like to use low ISO sensitivity to keep image noise as low as possible. Especially in star photography, fast wide-angle lenses are often chosen because they can make efficient use of low light. The 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN | Art was developed as the ultimate wide-angle zoom lens with a large diameter by optimizing the standard technical data for star photography for mirrorless full-frame cameras. 

• Part of the newly developed line of high-performance lenses for full-frame mirrorless cameras 
• High-resolution image quality through exclusive glass elements with low color dispersion and NPC (Nano Porous Coating). 
• Extensive feature set ensures user confidence even under difficult conditions 
• Rear filter holder as a standard accessory 

Uniform imaging performance and excellent resolution to the edge of the image make it the "definitive lens for astrophotography." This new generation large diameter zoom lens takes advantage of the special features of the short flange focal length, combining a compact body with unprecedented high resolution image quality. 

One FLD glass and five SLD glass elements are arranged to suppress chromatic aberrations right to the edge of the image. Three aspherical lenses, including a large-diameter aspherical lens as the front lens, effectively minimize coma, etc., to achieve stunning resolution. The Super Multi-Layer Coating is combined with a newly developed NPC (Nano Porous Coating)*. The lens is designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight. 

The inclusion of a stepper motor enables fast and quiet AF drive. Shooting is also comfortable with point AF such as face detection/eye detection AF and video recording. The AFL button, which can be assigned with various functions, extends the working range of the lens.

In addition, the lens features a dustproof and splashproof body and a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front lens, which further supports photography in various environments.

Additional advantages

Lenses in our Contemporary, Art and Sports product lines offer the following benefits:

 

SIGMA USB Dock

With this USB dock, the new SIGMA lenses of the product series Contemporary, Art and Sports can be adapted to the personal needs of each photographer. For this purpose, we have developed a special software (SIGMA Optimization Pro) that allows you to easily update the lens firmware and adjust focus parameters, for example.

SIGMA Lens Exchange Service

We offer our customers a connection exchange service for a fee. Within the scope of this service, we modify the mounts of lenses from the Contemporary, Art and Sports product lines by replacing all relevant parts at the customer's request.

 

Own A1 MTF measuring system

We have our own A1 MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) measurement system that uses the 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensor. Using this system, we inspect every lens in our new product line at our factory. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details have now become testable as part of our quality control process, which allows us to deliver consistently high lens performance.
