Sigma Adds Fast 24mm To Art Line
9 February 2015
Sigma's respected lineup of Art series lenses has been expanded with the announcement of the Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM Art lens. Designed for full-frame sensors, the 24mm Art lens joins the 35mm and 50mm f1.4 Art lenses in the series.
With the 24mm f1.4, Sigma claims to have "successfully minimized sagittal coma flare, chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting to achieve exceptional levels of optical performance with almost no aberration or distortion."
No launch date was revealed but the lens is available for preorder from Adorama at $849 in a Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts. For more information see the news release below.
New f1.4 joins Sigma's Art Line
The Sigma Corp. is pleased to announce the Sigma 24mm f1.4 DG HSM. The highest optical performance in its class, perfect for a variety of subjects from cityscapes to the star-filled night sky.
Sigma has a proven reputation for wide-angle lens design and manufacturing. Drawing on this experience and design know-how, refined through development of the Sigma 35mm f1.4 DG HSM Art and Sigma 50mm f1.4 DG HSM Art, we have successfully minimized sagittal coma flare, chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting to achieve exceptional levels of optical performance with almost no aberration or distortion.
This lens provides the best possible performance when photographing a variety of subjects from cityscapes, mountain ranges and the star-filled night sky that demands great rendering, to indoor photography with low illumination or scenes with a smooth bokeh effect.
Enjoy the astonishing optical performance from the new f1.4 series that has just joined the Sigma's iconic Art line.
