Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E in More Detail

First ever f/1.4 aperture full-frame 14mm lens

The groundbreaking Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN | Art lens is the world's first f/1.4 mirrorless lens with such an expansive angle-of-view. With a brighter aperture, it outshines its predecessor, the 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art for DSLRs, allowing 58% more light onto the sensor. This exceptional optic excels in capturing the night sky and delivers remarkable handheld performance in low-light environments.

Optimised for astrophotography

Designed with astrophotography in mind, the Sigma lens boasts an advanced optical configuration featuring 1 SLD, 3 FLD, and 4 aspherical elements. This meticulous design ensures exceptional optical quality at infinity focus, effectively minimising aberrations and sagittal coma flare.

As a result, brilliant points of light remain impeccably round and sharp across the entire frame, even at wide apertures. Leveraging in-camera optical aberration control profiles, distortion and vignetting are corrected effortlessly. Furthermore, the lens's sophisticated optical design eliminates corner softness and chromatic aberration, reducing the need for digital corrections. This selective approach to optical aberration control provides a relatively compact and lightweight lens for its type, without compromising on image quality.

Professional features with superb build quality

The Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E has a professional feature-set, which makes it easier for photographers and filmmakers to achieve the best results possible. An aperture ring is built into the barrel, which can be set to auto for aperture control on the camera. With a very precise action, the ring can also be de-clicked if preferred, or locked in place to prevent it from being accidentally knocked.

Heat retainer for cold environments

At the front of the barrel is a Lens Heater Retainer, which was a feature introduced on the Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN | Art. This helps to hold a heat strip in place to prevent condensation build-up on the front element, which are often used by astrophotographers when shooting in cold conditions.

Rear filter holder with new lens storage cap

The lens features a rear filter holder that allows sheet-type filters to be attached with ease. Soft type filters are often preferred by astrophotographers as they make stars appear softer, larger and brighter and you can also use other types of sheet-type filter.

Sigma has specially designed a new front lens cap with rear sheet filters in mind. Two filter slots are available to store pre-cut sheet-type filters, allowing them to be carried with the lens at all times. Previous lenses such as the 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art used a push fit type cap. The new front cap now features a secure lock mechanism to prevent it from falling off unintentionally.

Manual focus lock and customisable AFL button

A MFL (manual focus lock) switch on the side of the lens barrel allows astrophotographers to find infinity then switch the MFL switch to Lock, which completely disables the focus ring. This means that even if the ring is knocked the focus will remain at infinity, preventing accidental out-of-focus results when least expected.

An AFL button is also included on the lens barrel, which can be customised depending on your particular camera.

Included tripod collar

With a hefty weight to the lens, Sigma has negated the typical front-heavy shooting experience when mounted to a heavy-duty tripod, by including the TS-141 Tripod Socket, which ensures a more balanced set-up closer to the centre of gravity and benefits from an Arca-Swiss compatible mount.

Fast, smooth focusing

The 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E is fitted with Sigma’s new High-response Linear Actuator (HLA) motor, which delivers faster, smoother, quieter and more accurate focusing than a stepping motor. This is only the third Sigma lens to be designed with this technology, ensuring very responsive focusing in all shooting situations.
