Sigma Art 24mm F1.4 DG DN -

Key Features

A wide and fast optic ideal for pro-level astrophotography

The superb optical performance of the SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is powered bythe optimal arrangement of its 17 elements, including two FLD, one SLD and four asphericalelements. The suppression of a range of optical aberrations such as sagittal coma flare, whichcannot be corrected in post, contribute to the lens’s ability to accurately reproduce bright points oflight even in the extreme periphery of the frame.

Other unsightly effects such as ghosting and flare are minimized, partly thanks to the use of Super Multi-Coating and Nano Porous Coating (NPC), helping ensure punchy, high-contrast results in backlit conditions.

The optical power of the 20m F1.4 DG DN to render clean and accurate images in any situation make it perfectfor highly-demanding genres like astro, landscape and architectural photography.

 

Portable and light with superb build quality

Designed and manufactured at Sigma’s sole factory in Aizu in Japan, the 24mm F1.4 DG DN meets theexceptionally high production standards that users have come to expect from Sigma’s Global Vision lenses.

At 520g it is 30% lighter than Sigma’s existing 24mm F1.4, and about 16% shorter. This reduction in sizeand weight is thanks to design changes that have allowed more efficient positioning of internal parts, thedevelopment of more complex aspherical elements, and the freedom afforded by the short flange backdistance. Considering the wide angle-of-view, bright maximum aperture and high optical performance offeredby the 24mm F1.4 DG DN, it is a remarkably portable option that is easily small enough for everyday use.

The robust body is built from a combination of aluminium and Thermally Stable Composite (TSC), giving it asleek finish, and the focus ring has a smooth, well damped action. A petal-shaped lens hood is included, andequipped with a lock mechanism to keep it securely fastened to the lens. A rubber grip makes it easier to attachand remove the hood.

Built with a dust and splash-resistant structure, a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element, and arubber seal around the mount, the 24mm F1.4 DG DN is safe to use during longer outdoor shoots.*

The SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art opens up endless possibilities to anyone who values high opticalperformance, versatility and convenience, from professional photographers to users who are new to wide-angle primes.

*While yhe lens is safe to use in light rain, please note that it is not fully weather sealed and therefore not waterproof.

 

Advanced features for maximum versatility

The SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art is equipped with a range offeatures that make it easier to achieve professional-looking results.The lens boasts both a front filter thread and a rear filter holder,which ensures plenty of attachment options. Astrophotographers,for example, may want to attach a light pollution filter at the frontand a soft filter at the rear.

A manual aperture ring is built in, which is de-clickable for a smooth transition between aperture settings –useful for changing exposure seamlessly when shooting video. The aperture ring also has a lock switch. A newManual Focus Lock (MFL) switch completely deactivates the focus ring, ensuring the focus position won’tchange if it is accidentally knocked. So for night-sky photographers, the days of using tape the hold the focusring in position are over.

An AFL button is built into the lens, which can be customized to a range of different functions*, and on theL-Mount version of the lens, it is possible to switch between linear and non-linear focus ring movement (USBDock required). Film-makers will appreciate the fast yet near-silent autofocus functionality, which is driven bya stepping motor.

*Only on compatible cameras. Available functions may vary depending on the camera used.
