With the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art, Sigma presents an exceptional full-frame fixed focal length for E-mount and L-mount. Currently, there seems to be no other manufacturer offering a correspondingly fast super-wide-angle lens. The areas of application for the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN are likely to be in astro, landscape and architectural photography. 
Even those who have to image a lot of interiors and cannot use extra light here could find the right lens with the new 1.4 Art from Sigma. Sigma&s premium "ART series" is known for maximum optical performance - especially at the aperture - so the new 14 fits the bill perfectly and should set a new reference in the full-frame super-wide-angle range. ;) Responsible for the high speed is a correspondingly complex construction: the new 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art consists of 19 elements in 15 groups - including 1 SLD glass element, 3 FLD glass elements and 4 aspherical lens elements. Of interest to astro-filmmakers and photographers: Sigma claims to have greatly reduced sagital coma, gosting and flares, which means that point light sources in particular should be imaged very precisely. The clever details of the 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art show that Sigma has put a lot of thought into outdoor use. ;) For example, a recess has been incorporated into the front section to allow a secure fit for lens heaters. Another clever detail is the new lens cap, which offers additional storage for foil filters. In addition to features designed specifically for astro shooting, the lens is equipped with several features that should make it easier to use, including an AFL button that can be assigned any function and an aperture ring. ;) The body is dust and splash proof, and the front surface of the lens has a water and oil repellent coating. ;) The HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) is said by Sigma to provide fast, quiet and highly accurate autofocusing To maintain performance while supporting a large aperture lens, the lens uses lightweight materials such as polycarbonate TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), whose thermal shrinkage rate is the same as aluminium, and magnesium in appropriate places to reduce weight while ensuring robustness. ;) The aperture consists of 11 blades, the minimum focusing distance is 30cm and Sigma quotes the weight as 1,170g for the L-mount and 1,160g for the E-mount version. Dimensions are 101.4mm × 149.9mm for L-mount and 101.4mm × 151.9mm for E-mount. Price and Availability The Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is expected to be available for €1,599 from the end of June.  more infos at bei www.sigma-foto.dedeutsche Version dieser Seite: Sigma stellt mit 14mm F1.4 DG DN ART lichtstärkstes Vollformat-Weitwinkel seiner Klasse vor |
