Product Description
The Sigma 14mm 1.8 DG HSM Art is the worlds first 1.8 prime lens at the 14mm
focal length. This fast wide prime features the same large aspherical element
touted in the Sigma 12-24mm F4 Art to control distortion and create stunning
imagery. An updated Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides fast and accurate autofocus
while 3 Premium FLD and 4 SLD glass elements control chromatic aberration and
sagittal coma flare. Building on the highly reputable Art line, the Sigma 14mm
1.8 DG HSM Art is designed to resolve the latest high megapixel DSLR sensors.
Like each and every Global Vision Lens, the Sigma 14mm 1.8 DG HSM Art is
handcrafted at our single factory in Aizu, Japan and undergoes individual
evaluation before leaving Sigmas facility.
A true high-speed lens that delivers a new dimension of visual experience
In taking photographs of starry skies or other celestial scenes at night, or of
the seashore with a wide perspective, a large-diameter lens is a strong ally,
since it allows the capture of a moving subject by adjusting shutter speed
without relying on ISO sensitivity. With its full-frame 35mm coverage, 14mm
focal length for an ultra-wide angle of view, F2 barrier-breaking F1.8, the
SIGMA 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is the true high-speed ultra-wide-angle lens for
which so many photographers have been waiting. Although some zoom lenses are
available that can cover 14mm, the large diameter delivering F1.8 brightness is
a singular advantage. Going beyond fast shutter speed, this lens can capture a
swarm of fireflies with crystal clarity, a beautiful bokeh effect, and
outstanding control of light streaking.
