Ultra wide-angle 14mm
This world-first performance was achieved by applying the best of SIGMA’s optical technologies, from the design to the lens manufacturing process. 19 elements in 15 groups, including 1 SLD glass element, 3 FLD glass elements, and 4 aspherical lens elements, make up a luxurious lens configuration. This allows for advanced aberration correction, a high degree of precision in the lens construction and F1.4 brightness. In particular, sagittal coma flare, which distorts the shape of stars, has been carefully corrected, and even at the widest aperture, the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount delivers high image reproducibility right to the periphery of the image. Ghosting and flare are also thoroughly addressed through both optical design and coatings. This allows for clear, crisp shooting of starry sky and night scenes. Optimized for starscapes, which require extremely high performance, the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount delivers images that exceed expectations in any scene, including landscapes, architecture snapshots, portraits, and indoor photography.
Abundant functions and accessories
The Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount is equipped with a wealth of features, including:
Tripod Socket
Includes a detachable tripod socket compatible with Arca-Swiss type. As the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount is heavier on the front side, attaching the tripod socket helps it mount on a tripod in a more stable way. The shape is designed to prevent interference even when using the lens heater.
MFL (Manual Focus Lock) Switch
A switch to lock the manual focus at a desired position. It prevents focus shift caused by unintentional operation of the focus ring. This is useful for long time exposure photography, etc., where the focus should be fixed.
Lens Heater Retainer
A lip at the front of the lens prevents the lens heater* from protruding into the front of the lens and causing vignetting on the periphery of the screen.
*A belt-shaped heater that is wrapped around the lens to prevent condensation from forming inside the lens when the temperature drops.
*Lens heater is not included.
Rear filter Holder
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.
Signature Art line features and high build quality
In addition to functions specifically designed for shooting starscapes, the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount 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 oil 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. In order to maintain performance while supporting a lens with a large aperture, the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount has a robust internal structure and uses lightweight materials such as polycarbonate TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which has a thermal shrinkage rate equivalent to that of aluminum, and magnesium in appropriate locations to reduce weight while ensuring robustness. The Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E-Mount body is built with the high build quality of the Art line specifications, allowing the user to fully enjoy the unique performance of the lens in any environment, including shooting starscapes.
What does DG stand for on Sigma lenses?
DG is use to indicate that the lens is designed for a full frame camera (DG lenes can be used on a crop sensor camera). DC is for crop sensors (These typically cannot be used on a full frame camera)
What does DN stand for on Sigma lenses?
DN stands for Digital Neo. These lenses are developed for Sony SEL and NEX, Panasonic Lumix G, and Olympus PEN mirrorless cameras. Lenses with a DN abbreviation aren't compatible with full frame and APS-C SLR cameras.
