Sigma has launched a 14mm F1.4 DG DN lens. The lens is said to capture the widest, brightest, highest-resolution, and ‘most captivating’ starry sky possible. The ultra wide-angle 14mm comes with a maximum aperture of f/1.4. As per Sigma, making up the lens configuration are 19 elements in 15 groups, including 1 SLD glass element, 3 FLD glass elements, and 4 aspherical lens elements. This allows for advanced aberration correction and a high degree of precision in the lens construction, as per Sigma. Optimised for starscapes, which require extremely high performance, this lens delivers images that exceed expectations in any scene, including landscapes, architecture snapshots, portraits, and indoor photography.
The lens includes a detachable tripod mount compatible with Arca-Swiss type. The 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art can be mounted on a tripod in a more stable condition, as it is heavier on the front side. The shape is designed to prevent interference even when using the lens heater.
A rear filter holder is provided as standard equipment at the lens mount for attaching a sheet-type rear filter. A lock mechanism is also provided to prevent the filter from falling out.
The lens includes a cover-type front cap with a locking mechanism. It also has a newly developed filter slot that can hold two rear filters depending on the application. The cap is specially designed for lenses to protect the sheet filters from scratches and dirt while ensuring that they are not mistakenly taken out or forgotten.
Other key features
In addition to functions specifically designed for shooting starscapes, the lens is equipped with various functions to assist in shooting, including an AFL button to which any function can be assigned and an aperture ring. The body is dust and splash resistant, and the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and stain-repellent coating, so you can shoot outdoors in harsh environments with peace of mind. The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) enables high-speed, quiet, and highly accurate autofocusing.
