I just finished testing a BUNCH of UW zooms, including a Leica 16353.54.5 Lmount, and this Sigma won. It has excellent resolution at all focal lengths and produces very fine images. Im VERY happy with its results.

Geniales Weitwinkelobjektiv mit Top Qualitt. Perfekt Nachts, und bei wenig Licht. Ausserdem sind die Sonnensterne sehr schn, ebenso die Flares und das Bokeh. Ich hab es fast immer drauf.

This lens is BRILLIANT. It costs more than the 1.4 for a reason which that reviewer JAMES which does NOT have the lens and only decided to give it low rating because he cannot afford it, missedThis lens is amazingly sharp wide open across the frame unlike the 1.4, has great CA control unlike the 1.4 and the bokeh rendition is amazingly smooth where the 1.4 is extremely harsh and ugly.Sure is big and expensive but an OTUS which this lens outperforms, costs a lot more.So there is a reason for the price. This is a stunning piece of glass. So ignore that review by James. Hopefully BH will take that down and prevent him from posting any more of his insightful reviews…

Just arrived yesterday. This lens is amazing. It focus surprisingly fast and is about the same size as a 2470 gm. The lens itself is a little on the heavy side but consider the aperture its not that bad. When shooting at f1.2 is it a litte less sharp than i imagine d but it is as sharp if not sharper compared at 1.4 with the ZA 35mm zeisd sony. Overall nice lens, good quality and bokeh.

I recently purchased this lens and used on a recent trip to New Mexico, Utah and Arizona for landscape and astrophotography. I previously had used my Canon 1635 L series III with a Sigma MC 11, also an excellent lens. Regardless of the situation, the lens performed extremely well. Reviewing my images, the CA in my copy appears to be nonexistent, the focus is sharp from center to edges. Working with F 2.8 for astro, stars were sharp, minimal if any comma that I could detect and foreground definition was nice even wide open. For landscape shot between F8 and F16 and again focus was excellent. Shot multiple images for focus stacking but DOF so good that in most cases only needing to use 2 images for sharp foreground to infinity images. Based on previous sigma lenses Ive used expected weight to be an issue and thats not the case at all. This will be my go to lens from now on with my A7R3

This lens is amazingly sharp.It does have minimal distortion with close objects on the wide end. It is larger and heavier than some other options. Some trade offs are necessary if you want this FL range and f2.8.This is an amazing lens given the trade offs. Sigma Art series dont seem to sacrifice IQ for anything even if it makes the lens bigger and heavier. Im willing to deal with the size and weight to gain a wider view than the Sony or Tamron f2.8 options and faster than the Sony f4 option. I knew the IQ would be on par with or better than all other wide angle options so it was the perfect choice for me. It does not disappoint.

with the new Sony 35mm 1.8 coming out at half the price and half the weight I was having a hard time choosing this lens over that one, after much thought I decided to pull the trigger on the sigma and from the moment I got it Ive been nothing but impressed. its really sharp wide open, with minimal CA, the focus is accurate and fast enough. the bokeh is absolutely dreamy and smooth. distortion is apparent and definitely a weak point for this lens in addition to its weight at 2.4lbs both of those issues arent big enough to over come how amazing the image quality is. I highly recommend this lens I couldnt be happier.

This lens is awesome and great at everything you throw at it. The ONLY reason to get the 1635 is if you never go below 16 which I do and you like something to go beyond 24mm which I dont. My whole kit is Sony lenses besides this lens.

Ive had this lens out and about for a while now here in Korea and I am very satisfied with that I got for the price.Pros very sharp from f1.2 through f16. Honestly I dont even think about sharpness with this lens, I pick the aperture for the shutter speed and depth of field required and shoot. Frees up the mind to focus on more creative aspects of shooting, which to me, is the hallmark of good equipment. I shouldnt have to be thinking about how to overcome equipment shortfallsquirks while shooting.Autofocus is fast and accurate. I shot some f1.2 portraits of myself with a remote, and even with zero human oversight on focusing, I got sharp eyes using the standard center AF on my Sony A7RII.Manual aperture ring, AFMF switch why Zeiss, is this not on the Batis lenses, AF lock, welldone manual focus by wire…..all work without any tinkering or quirks, again, exactly how it should be.Good flare resistance, the lens was built assuming the use of filters so there is no severe vignetting even with a CPol stacked on a 10stop ND. Part of why it is so big. Again they designed it to disappear between you and the creative process, you dont have to think about the lens when shooting.Cons It is huge and heavy. I am seriously considering a second 35mm for backpacking.The rendering is accurate and clinical. Theres no magic like some brands. Not a big deal, just post process.There is field curvature. At f1.22 if I want the corner at infinity to be sharp, I need to focus at the corner. This is almost never occurring in real shooting situations. Its very much a problem if youre primary subject matter are resolution charts and brick walls at ultra wide apertures. Thankfully, I shoot real photos and not lens tests, so this has never effected a real world image.Dont hesitate

Before saying that its not worth the price tag, what about giving a chance to the Sigma people for bringing us this baby, on my side a 1000 is rapidly forgotten when your everyday tool brings you this je ne sais quoi that makes your images unique on top of your style of course.. Cant wait

Excellent lens and quick to focus on Sony A9. Love the results so far

Tried it today it delivers nice images. Little tricky focusingtracking moving people. Frankly its really nice but not earth shattering. Youre paying for the 1.2 part and I rarely shoot at that aperture. Other lenses deliver just as well
Andrew –
This lens has probably reached the top of what can be realized from this focal length. It is absolutely sublime. Sharp as a tack but the beautiful bokeh is the thing Sigma have amazingly achieved at the same time. Its very difficult to do both wide open but they have managed it. If you can live with the weight just buy it Ill keep my adapted ZM 35mm 1.4 for when weight savings are at a premium.

Was using the Sony 1635mm f4 for the longest before I switched to the Sigma. Was really impressed by the sharpness of the 50mm and 85mm Art lenses I bought so I figured it wouldnt be much of a risk. While I love the Sony Zeiss, I wanted the lens to cover more real estate. A part of what I shoot are automotive events and wide angle lenses go a long way in delivering the you are there experience. The Sony Zeiss was 12 a footstep too close at times and I had to figure out how to step back in crowded event spaces.As for construction, the lens IS heavier than the Sony Zeiss but not excessive in any way. Others have commented about the heft of Sigma lenses but I actually appreciate it. Not sure what to do with the programmable AEL lock button on the lens, but nice to have. Weather sealing is great, although I typically do not shoot in inclement weather. Only concern is how the bulbous front glass sticks out just a bit when at 14mm. Putting the lens 24mm actually retracts the lens a bit so Ill have to get into the habit of that.Only gripe would be… Im used to rotating the lens clockwise to zoom in, and counterclockwise to zoom out Sony and other lenses are like this. This 1424mm is, however, the exact opposite. Not as annoying as how Tamron places the zoom ring on the front, and focus ring on the back.Highly recommend this lens. Sigma is doing a hell of a job with their Sony EMount offerings.

Ive had this lens only far a short time, so far all I can say is this lens is very sharp across the entire frame, even at aperture 2.8. I originally owned the Canon EF version of this lens, even though this lens is an entirely new design for the Sony E Mount, its right on the same level of image quality maybe even better, weighs 360 grams less, the smaller diameter makes much easier to handle. If youre familiar with ART lenses, you know what to expect in terms of build quality. Auto focus has been surprisingly really good, eyetracking doesnt miss a beat. Compared to the Batis 18mm this lens is superior in my opinion except weight. Cant comment on video autofocus quite yet with the small sample size I have. I was originally torn between this and the Tamron 1728mm. Bottom line, you probably wont dissapointed with either lens, but I think the Sigma will offer a little better IQ, have less chromatic aberration, be superior for astrography. If you do more video work especially on a gimbal want a lighter walk around lens, the Tamron is the way to go.

Couldnt wait to receive.Takes some sharp images on my Sony a7riii.Perfect combo Its heavy yes But thats the only down fall.Even takes incredible shots on my A6400Better bokeh though on Fullframe camera obviouslyIn general VERY PLEASED WITH PURCHASE.

The first variablezoom Sigma Art lens for Sony E mount is a stunner. It takes sharp images with minimal distortion at the wider focal lengths. Its lighter than the Sigma primes and is a perfect fit in a camera bag.I made a quick review of the lens on Youtube, check it out httpswww.youtube.comwatchvY3YfjE6pzoA
Martin –
The range of travel of the zoom ring is much longer than other lenses, especially Canon and both zoom and focus are slightly more resistant than other lenses, but it feels solid and nicely built.
jeffrey –
super sharp super fast great autofocus on this made for mirrorless beauty. Sigma has chosen the right path design for mirrorlesswho cares if its huge.just come out with a 50mm 1.2 and an 85mm 1.2 ASAPif you did it with a 35 then you can do it with a 50 come on
Will –
Like most consumers considering an expensive purchase I did A LOT of research before I pulled the trigger on my next wide angle lens.I chose the Sigma Art 1224 over Sonys native G Master 1635 I already have the Tamron 2875 so the 2835 focal range was already covered by that lens. Of course, now Im missing the 2428 focal range, but its not a deal breaker for me when I can move a few inches forward.Im 100 satisfied with my choice. Sonys GM lenses are great, dont get me wrong, but so is an extra 1100 in my pocket while also getting Sigma Art quality.

Wonderful for landscape

Firstly, i Dont own the lens YET. I am saving up for it. I do own the Sigma 70mm MACRO 2.8 ART lens for Sony E mount. Also, I own the Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens for Sony A6500 and the Sigma 60mm 2.8 Lens also for the Sony A6500.I have watched every video on youtube and read every article i could on the internet. phillipreeves.net petapixel and camera stuff review did wonderful and great job in their reviews with photos to back up their findings.Also go to scantips EXPOSURE CALCULATOR to see the difference an f1.2 lens VS f1.4 lens will give you in ISO and shutter speed.The BOKET rendering especially in the portrait of the model where she is close to the len is absolutely GORGEOUS I highly recommend

Objectief nog niet zo lang in gebruik maar wat er tot nu toe mee gefotografeerd is ziet er super goed uit. Voor de specificaties een redelijk compact objectief van zeer goede kwaliteit. De grote merken hebben er een zeer geduchte concurrent bij.

Had the lens for a week and it had a flicker doing video when in high contrast situations. Photos were perfect. Hope it was just an issue with that lens as I am getting another one.

I just finished using this lens for a week on a short film video shoot. I really loved the quality of the shots, and despite the weight, I was still able to balance and use it in a RobinS. My only issue is the focusbywire they put into this lens instead of mechanical focus. That made it almost impossible to manual focus a moving subject since the speed at which you move the focus ring will change how fast the focus changes.Because of this you cannot do consistent focus pulls. That said, it did work great with touchscreen focus pulls, but when I needed to focus on someone walking away, manually focusing was very difficult although I did have pretty good success with people walking towards the camera with letting the autofocus face detection do the work for me.I also used the Sigma ART 50mm f1.4 and it was WAY easier to manually focus and set up focus pulls ahead of time because of the mechanical focus system.Just something to keep in mind for video shooters if you are looking at this lens over the 35mm f1.4 that does have mechanics focus.

Its heavy. But its really nice lens to have. Very wide, can cover all the scene that you want to be in the photograph. Good for landscape and astrophotography.

This is most certainly the best sony E mount ultrawide on the market. It is lightweight and small in consideration of the specs and performance. Image sharpness at 14mm f2.8 is easily comparable with some prime lenses stopped down to f8. Low vigtetting, has no chromatic nor monochromatic aberrations and suffers no contrast loss with only a tiny flair when pointed at bright light at certain angles. Only drawbacks are at 24mm wide open corner sharpness isnt as good as 14mm and not being filterfriendly. There is yet any rear optical glass filters to fit and gel filters themselves are useless.
James –
I followed Youtube reviews by Christopher Frost snd Dustin Abbott. Impressed by sharpness edge to edge over zoom range and apertures with no caveats. Also, lack of coma and control of chromatic aberration. I dont mind the weight as it is for special occasions. I am very pleased with the results I am getting. Good purchase.
Steve –
Received my initial copy of this lens and tested it as I always do. It was immediately apparent Id received a decentered copy. Returned it and bought another copy same issue. Love the lens. Some complain about the sizeheft, but I found it actually really heightened my enjoyment of shooting. Great bokeh, lovely character. But same right sided softness across a myriad of tests distant object in 4 corners without adjusting focus, brick wall test, etc… Still planning on getting this lens, but unsure of when as Im wary of another from this shipment right now. Its a relatively wide focal length, and lots of elements so some is acceptable, but to have two copies in a row with the same pattern seems unusual. Anyone else having decentering issues
James –
Not worth double the price of the 1.4 version. Save your money.
Al –
i have a couple of lenses that over lap this focal length which made me very hesitant in purchasing the lens. I am very happy that i did The bokeh and 3d pop you get from this lens is amazing. Only downside i can say is the weight and size but besides that no complaints here. IQ beats those negatives any day of the week. here are some jpegs i have from a photo shoot i have done with the lens
David –
I bought this lens to replace my Sony 1635mm f4, and could not be more pleased with the purchase. After extensive testing, it has proven itself to be sharp across the frame wide open, with minimal moustache distortion. And it simply blows away my old Sony in the corners. Yes, its a little larger and heavier, but thats a price Im more than willing to pay for such a high quality lens.
Anonymous –
Im impresses by this lens performance, optically is very close to perfect, Im really really impressed at its quality on the wider end. At 24mm is not bad by any means, f2.8 at the center is ultra sharp as well, at the corners it softens slightly, but fortunately it shows no chromatic aberration, so nothing to worry about.The autofocus is quick and precise although not blazingly fast. And the manual focus ring is a joy, it is perfect for focusing on the stars when shooting astrophotography.The Adobe profile correction for distortion is weird, it doesnt correct properly to straight lines and over corrects for the vignette, so you probably need to create your own profile.And finally, the lens itself is well built, sturdy, and feels well balanced with my camera, I thought it was going to feel heavier or even look larger, but I guess Sigma is taking advantage of the mirrorless benefits for wide angle optical formulas. Good jobI recommend this lens 100

Keeping in the long line of Sigma art lenses, this one delivers as well. Well build and super sharp all the way around. Not disappointed at all.

Ketan –
For some background, I generally do not mind lens price tags like this I paid 1,500 if the performance is outstanding and the rendering is beautiful. For the latter, the rendering is the reason to buy this lens. The look of a moderately wide angle combined with the 1.2 aperture is really a unique look. Fortunately, the lens is sharp at the point of focus whether at close distance or far and whether you are focusing at the center of the frame or midframe. If you focus toward the edges it can help to stop down a bit. The bokeh is really appealing not too busy unlike other fast 35s and I personally really like the vignette it produces. As for negatives, there are a few. I dont mind the size given its a 1.2 with autofocus, but I expected more symmetric distortion and field curvature. The distortion is a bit funny in that the correction affects one side of the image more than the other. Its not a simple barrel in the middle and that can make compositions on flat surfaces more challenging. The big issue I have found is the field curvature and in summary, the lens performance isnt a harmonic improvement when stopping down. Instead I find it is best at either 1.2 or smaller than f4. For some reason the field seems relatively flat at 1.2, but from 1.4 to f4 or so and in I cant get sharpness on a flat plane if I focus at the center at infinity. Using an offcenter midfield focus point is better as is focusing at a close distance where the curvature seems to affect the plane of sharpness less. The final issue is autofocus in that in single AF it can lock focus then refocus again on its own. Im not sure how that happens but also havent seen a firmware update.

I originally purchased this piece of glass to use for my real estate photography, but have also been able to use it for my landscape and Astro photography projects. Sure, it doesnt say Sony on it, and Im usually one to go with native Sony parts, BUT I am thoroughly impressed with both the build quality and AF performance of this lens. The Sony alternative to this lens is more than double the price and for me in this case that wasnt worth it. This lens is phenomenally sharp and with its fast aperture, I am able to capture a lot of light in low light situations. Definitely well worth the money for any landscape, real estate andor Astro photographer looking to expand their arsenal. Im sure it would work well with other genres, but I can only speak for the ones Ive actually used it for. 1010 recommend
Johnnie –
Im mainly a landscape photographer, and this lens matches what I shoot pretty well. The center is very sharp f2.8, but a bit soft in corners, but once you step down a little, the corners are as sharp.
Max –
This is an amazing lens. Its sharp, the build quality is incredible, and the focusing is fast and accurate. Im very impressed with the quality of image coming out of this lens. The only true competition on the market for this lens is the 1635 GM, and this is sharper IMO. Im selling the 1635 and staying on the Sigma. The only downside to this lens is the weight. Its hefty, but with a battery grip, its nicely balanced.
Patrick –
Its like in between 1022mm 1635mm. I have not fully tested the lens maximum potential but that is initially what Ive noticed.It does good job on focusing on low light situations, Its sharp, AF is like a native lens or even better compared to other wide native lenses.I gave it 4 stars cause I prefer wider lenses. Sigma if you read this make us a fisheye AF lens f2.8 or an ultrawide angle lens like 812mm or 1022mm, that would be sweet
Tobias –
Who doesnt want a 35mm lens with a f stop of 1.2 This lens delivers exactly that. But with great power comes great responsibility. Responsibility in this case being weight and a slightly noisy autofocus.So if you have a strong set of arms and dont record audio right next to your lens I would say this is the lens for you.
Eric –
Have had many quality lenses, this is without a doubt about the best Ive ever had. I am using this lens paired with the Sony A7RIV and is just a perfect math, It is sharp corner to corner at 1.2, fast autofocus, it may hunt a bit if not nought contrast more likely a camera issue, if you are a wedding photographer and need to carry this lens fo hours, it may be too heavy for that work, but for short engagement less than one hour, it is just fine for me. Bokhe is also very very good. I did not expect to enjoy this ens so much.

I had been eyeing this lens for a while. I knew that when I moved to a full frame camera that I would need an epic lens to go along with it, and as someone who has spent years shooting on a manual 12mm, this Sigma is absolutely wonderful I love the dimension and options that a wide lens gives, and paired with my a7r IVa, it is absolutely perfect for my needs. I have used it on landscapes, and I have even tried it on close up shots of flowers and insects. It has excelled at everything Ive thrown at it thus far, and I couldnt be happier. It feels durable in your hand, and it dials in smoothly. Most importantly, it produces beautiful shots.

Had previously been using Zeiss CP.2s for stills, but this lens is all I use now. The contrast is nearly as good as the 6000 cinema lensescolors are gorgeous and the autofocus is blazing fast, even in low light. My friend had never used anything but an iPhone, but even her super underexposed photos were tack sharp.The only negative thing I can say about this lens is that it terrifies my dog none of my other lenses scare her.

Image quality is excellent and this is a very capable lens. EyeAF works extremely well and nails focus every time and the lens is sharp even down to f1.2. The color and contrast are great and the bokeh is smooth. The build also feels solid and I love aperture rings.It isnt perfect though. Unless you really know you will use f1.2 a lot, I wouldnt recommend something this big. Its almost as heavy as my old Nikon 80200 2.8 and is heaver than a 2470 2.8. Given how good Sonys 35 1.8 and the Voightlander 40 are, you really ought to consider if that heft is worth differences that generally will only be seen in pixel peeping at more normal apertures if then. If you want f 1.2 then go for it but otherwise think twice. In addition to the most obvious con, which is the giant size, the biggest issue this lens has is flare that makes it a worse landscape lens than my Voightlanders. The autofocus sometimes will also pulse in and out in a way that my other lenses dont do and struggle to lock onto focus in landscapes with fading light.

Ontzettend gaaf objectief. Heb het nu een paar weken in mijn bezit. Ik gebruik hem voornamelijk voor landschap fotografie en over de resultaten ben ik meer dan tevreden. Ook kan de lens moeilijke tegenlicht situaties probleemloos aan

Very sharp lens, even in corners at 14mm, f2.8. I do a lot of night photography and have used the Rokinon 14mm f2.8, the Nikon 1424mm f2.8, and the Tamron 1530mm f2.8. This lens beats them all in my opinion, although the Nikon is very close. Virutally no coma in the corners, which was critical to me. Very happy with this lens

Excellent lens at much lower than native glass.

One thing Ive learned through my years of photography. But good glass and good cameras. Everything else can be cheap. Buying Sigma lenses is a money saver for sure and most of the time is sharper and better than the name brands. You have nothing to worry about buying this lens. Its phenomenal and produces outstanding quality, sharp, and next to known lens distortion at 14mm. I couldnt have made a better purchase. This is my 3rd Sigma Art lens and soon there shall be a 4th.

I never thought Id be saying this about a sigma lens but, it is amazingI am a professional photographer with 28 years experience working around the world. I switched to the Sony mirrorless camera and was looking for a good wide angle lens that was sharp, fast, light enough to hang from a peak design mount on my backpack strap and well built to handle the elements in the Sinai desert. I was constantly blown away by the sharpness and clarity of this lens. Sigma delivered well beyond my expectations. Best wide angle I have ever owned and I would recommend this over anything else on the market.

I know that youre not supposed to use lenses like this for sports. I thought I would put it to the test during a local high school basketball game. What makes this lens work in this situation is that its coverage area is much larger than the scene, allowing to crop for a nice, tight image. Really bright. Lightweight. A joy to use. Looking forward to using it more in the future.

Paired with my A7RIII I am very pleased with my results so far. Focus is excellent and the images are sharp. I bought this with an upcoming trip in mind, but have used it to create some interesting images while shooting Indoor track and field. Having the f2.8 was what drew me to this lens….and the price point. I have had excellent results with sigma lens in the past and I feel like this one will follow suit
Jack –
I use this lens professionally and for my own personal photography. I almost didnt purchase it due to its size but the positives outweigh the negatives. It is a beautiful sharp lens, very fast of course, low coma issues compared to SonyZeiss I almost purchased for my Sony full frame camera. The biggest bonus is extremely close focusing and beautiful bokeh. I am getting used to the size when I see the resulting photos.

this is a great product, very high quality and comfortable thanks a lot

Hallo, ich bin richtig froh, dass ich dieses Objektive gekauft habe. Habe schon ber 1000 Fotos gemacht und alle sind sehr gut geworden. Weitwinkel erfordert eine andere Position, als ich bis jetzt gewohnt war. Das macht es aber sehr interessant. Anbei noch ein paar Eindrcke und weitere unter httpswww.eyeem.comuedlug Alex

Sigma setzt wohl mal wieder einen Mastab mit dieser Zoomoptik, angesiedelt im Superweitwinkelbereich. Verarbeitung ist 1A, es ist schon ein greres Teil, aber am Lumix S1Gehuse wirkt es schon wieder wohlproportioniert. Prgnantscharf ber das gesamte Bildfeld. RandabschattungVignettierung bei Offenblende habe ich bis jetzt als komplett vernachlssigbar empfunden. AF gefhlt ein wenig gemchlicher als mit dem Lumix24105er Standartzoom. Hauptschlich angeschafft fr die Nordlicht und Weitfeldastrofotografie, da mu es noch zeigen, was es kann. Wichtig ist da fr mich, auch mit Offenblende ohne Schrfenverlust arbeiten zu knnen. Das erste ObjektivFirmwareupdate wurde erfolgreich direkt am S1Body durchgefhrt. Ein USBDock ist also nicht mehr erforderlich. Htte das gute Stck gerne in der Berliner Filiale gekauft, aber das war diesmal coronal bedingt leider verhindert. Abwicklung und Versand waren trotz in diesen Zeiten ber den Calumet Onlineshop vorbildlich.
Roy –
Had the lens for a week and it had a flicker doing video when in high contrast situations. Photos were perfect. Hope it was just an issue with that lens as I am getting another one.

Incredible lens, My favourite lens at the moment and I have Tamron 2875, Sigma Art 24mm 1.4, Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, Canon 135mm 2.0L and Sigma 85mm 1.4 to give you perspective of what I am comparing it to. Best ultra wide I have used, have had experience Canons 1635mm, 1740 and Sigma 20mm 1.4 Art if that helps.

Insgesamt bin ich mit dem Objektiv sehr zufrieden. Scharf bis in die Ecken, toller Kontrast und relativ handlich im Design. Wie auf den Produktfotos schon zu erkennen, muss man jedoch in entsprechende Filtersysteme investieren. Damit muss man leben knnen. Ich kann es und bin froh, eine tolle Linse fr meine A7III gefunden zu haben.

Not worth double the price of the 1.4 version. Save your money.

This lens is absolutely spectacular. Love the weight over a friends 14 mm Sigma which I considered buying. Already purchased the rear filter set, which is easy to use and less expensive over the bulky alternatives. Very happy with this purchase.
DOUGLAS –
I have not had an opportunity to even get it out of the box. But with all the great reviews on this lens Im pretty sure its going to work for me. The five stars are for Adorama great service. First time doing business with them and wont be my last.
Nate –
As long as you can work with the fringe distortion in your composition, you can make this lens work for your kit. The lens is sharp and has a great minimal focus distance. As a third party lens on a LUMIX body, it responds just as quick as any native lens. While it doesnt have any threading for ND filter attachment on the front, the third party Haide filter glass works great and fits perfectly in the rear mount. Overall, recommend the lens.
Spardha –
Great lens, worth the investment. Impressive sharpness center to edge.
Gene A –
Exactly what I was looking for in a wide angle for Leica SL. Build quality and IQ awesome.

The virus pandemic has limited my camera activity. The lens form and fit appears to be appropriate, however, the lens requires photo shooting which I have not had the opportunity to do as I desire. Will followup later.

It is my go to lens on my Sonya7RIV

All I can say is this is the top of the line lens. Sigma did there homework. Very nice lens and fun to use. Top of the line pictures.
Edmund –
Get this lens Been eyeing and wanting Sonys 1224mm f2.8 but could not justify the price tag. Decided that 14mm is wide enough for me for landscape and astro photos. I LOVE my 2470mm Sigma f2.8 and this lens is just as sharp with no distortion. high quality and sturdy build. The Haida Rear ND filters are also phenomenal and a great value 4 portable filters for less than one traditional filter. Been shooting Astro with it and the f2.8 is more than enough. Compared my astro photos from this Sigma at 14mm to my friends new 14mm Sony Prime and I honestly can not tell any difference unless you blow up and pixel peep at the very extreme edges. Go ahead and just get it.
David –
Excellent lens at much lower than native glass.
Alex –
Image quality is excellent and this is a very capable lens. EyeAF works extremely well and nails focus every time and the lens is sharp even down to f1.2. The color and contrast are great and the bokeh is smooth. The build also feels solid and I love aperture rings.It isnt perfect though. Unless you really know you will use f1.2 a lot, I wouldnt recommend something this big. Its almost as heavy as my old Nikon 80200 2.8 and is heaver than a 2470 2.8. Given how good Sonys 35 1.8 and the Voightlander 40 are, you really ought to consider if that heft is worth differences that generally will only be seen in pixel peeping at more normal apertures if then. If you want f 1.2 then go for it but otherwise think twice. In addition to the most obvious con, which is the giant size, the biggest issue this lens has is flare that makes it a worse landscape lens than my Voightlanders. The autofocus sometimes will also pulse in and out in a way that my other lenses dont do and struggle to lock onto focus in landscapes with fading light.
Siqi –
I believe this lens is better than G master 1635 and cheaper after I use it.
Juan –
By far my favorite lense. It stays on my camera 90 of the time
Sherwin –
i cant hold my camera with my support hand because as soon as i touch the Iris Ring my aperture change.
Luis –
This lens is BRILLIANT. It costs more than the 1.4 for a reason which that reviewer JAMES which does NOT have the lens and only decided to give it low rating because he cannot afford it, missedThis lens is amazingly sharp wide open across the frame unlike the 1.4, has great CA control unlike the 1.4 and the bokeh rendition is amazingly smooth where the 1.4 is extremely harsh and ugly.Sure is big and expensive but an OTUS which this lens outperforms, costs a lot more.So there is a reason for the price. This is a stunning piece of glass. So ignore that review by James. Hopefully BH will take that down and prevent him from posting any more of his insightful reviews…
Mario –
Great lense
Bill –
Excellent lens and quick to focus on Sony A9. Love the results so far
Jose –
Once again the sigma art series didnt disappoint. The color rendering is spot on, the auto focus is fast with no problem, its extremely quiet, the sharpness is there with very little distortion. I took test shots at 14mm, 18mm, and 20mm, at 14mm there was little distortion in the corners of the frame, with almost no vignetting at all ranges. The only problem with most Sigma lenses, is the weight of there lenses. The Sigma 1424 feels really good while Im holding it, but once its in my camera bag with two other lenses The Sigma 35 art, and Sigma 85 , this lens does add a lot to the weight.

f1.2 and sharp. Need I say more Candid shots in low light, super low depth of field when you want it. 35mm is perfect for so many scenarios. You know you want it Just buy it No regrets

This is a great alternative to the Sony GM lens of the same focal lengths.
Zhenfeng –
This lens is perfect to shoot unique photos, although a little bit heavy. But its definitely worth the effort.
Steve –
Received my initial copy of this lens and tested it as I always do. It was immediately apparent Id received a decentered copy. Returned it and bought another copy same issue. Love the lens. Some complain about the sizeheft, but I found it actually really heightened my enjoyment of shooting. Great bokeh, lovely character. But same right sided softness across a myriad of tests distant object in 4 corners without adjusting focus, brick wall test, etc… Still planning on getting this lens, but unsure of when as Im wary of another from this shipment right now. Its a relatively wide focal length, and lots of elements so some is acceptable, but to have two copies in a row with the same pattern seems unusual. Anyone else having decentering issues
Sufiannoor –
Just an incredible sharp ultra wide lens. Maybe even better then the sony native lens
Warren A. –
I do tons of architectural and Real Estate photography. My Nikon 1424 served me well but after 3 repairs there were issues that just didnt make it worth keeping. I researched lenses and bought the Sigma 1424 Art.Right out of the box…crisp, clear, spot on images No flare. No artifacts around the edges. Each image is super sharp side to side and top to bottom.
Sergio –
If 14mm field of view is ultra wide enough for you and for me, its MORE than enough then this lens offers a fantastic range and exquisite sharpness and image quality the Art lenses are famous for. Mine is paired with the 24702.8 Art lens, and I really dont feel I compromised anything by not going with the GM variants.
carboni –
Habe mir das 1424 als Ergnzung zu meinem schon vorhandenen Sigma 2470 2.8 an der Sony A7R IV geholt. So macht Fotografieren wirklich Spass. Das Objektiv ist sehr wertig verarbeitet und vom Gewicht an der A7R IV sehr gut ausbalanciert. Die Bilder werden bereit offenblendig sehr scharf. Autofokus trifft blitzschnell und die fest montierte Geli strt keineswegs. Sigma typische Qualitt eben. In verbindung mit dem Sigma 2470 eine perfekte Kombination
John –
I recently purchased this lens and used on a recent trip to New Mexico, Utah and Arizona for landscape and astrophotography. I previously had used my Canon 1635 L series III with a Sigma MC 11, also an excellent lens. Regardless of the situation, the lens performed extremely well. Reviewing my images, the CA in my copy appears to be nonexistent, the focus is sharp from center to edges. Working with F 2.8 for astro, stars were sharp, minimal if any comma that I could detect and foreground definition was nice even wide open. For landscape shot between F8 and F16 and again focus was excellent. Shot multiple images for focus stacking but DOF so good that in most cases only needing to use 2 images for sharp foreground to infinity images. Based on previous sigma lenses Ive used expected weight to be an issue and thats not the case at all. This will be my go to lens from now on with my A7R3
Jeffrey –
Sold my Sony 1635 f4 because I wanted to go wider and faster and the overlap with my Sony 2470mm f2.8 seems wasteful. Glad I made the move. This lens is sharp and I mean sharp. Great autofocus and I think balances well with my Sony A7r4 and A9. Love it.
Zhenpeng –
I tried several different ultra wide lens including Sony 1635 2.8, Tamron 1728 2.8 and this Sigma counterpart gives you not only 23 mm wider view, but significantly better overall sharpness.

Das Objektiv macht rundum Freude. War zuerst skeptisch, da ich sonst nur Original SonyObjektive verwende. Wrde wieder von Sigma kaufen.
David –
I previously owned the 1424 art lens for Canon EF. I loved that lens, but it was huge and heavy when adapted to my Sony cameras, so I sold it and bought the Tamron 1728. I found I needed something wider for shooting interiors, so I bought the new FE mount version of the Sigma 1424. Its everything I remember from the Canon version with less size weight. Great image quality, fast accurate focusing, and much smaller lighter.
Curtis –
I never thought Id be saying this about a sigma lens but, it is amazingI am a professional photographer with 28 years experience working around the world. I switched to the Sony mirrorless camera and was looking for a good wide angle lens that was sharp, fast, light enough to hang from a peak design mount on my backpack strap and well built to handle the elements in the Sinai desert. I was constantly blown away by the sharpness and clarity of this lens. Sigma delivered well beyond my expectations. Best wide angle I have ever owned and I would recommend this over anything else on the market.
anthony –
I was really excited until I received a used lens at the new price.When you spend money for the fresh out of the box experience and someone else already put their fingerprints all over and it was shoved back in the box. This was a big let down and, I can not even pretend to be excited. Great product. Really screwed this up.
Patrick –
Firstly, i Dont own the lens YET. I am saving up for it. I do own the Sigma 70mm MACRO 2.8 ART lens for Sony E mount. Also, I own the Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens for Sony A6500 and the Sigma 60mm 2.8 Lens also for the Sony A6500.I have watched every video on youtube and read every article i could on the internet. phillipreeves.net petapixel and camera stuff review did wonderful and great job in their reviews with photos to back up their findings.Also go to scantips EXPOSURE CALCULATOR to see the difference an f1.2 lens VS f1.4 lens will give you in ISO and shutter speed.The BOKET rendering especially in the portrait of the model where she is close to the len is absolutely GORGEOUS I highly recommend

TopWeitwinkel mit Lmount, das ich an einer Sigma fp nutze. Ich hatte dieses Objektiv bereits vorher mit dem Nikon Anschluss auf einer D810 und war extrem begeistert. Die Schrfe sehr gut, Vignettierung gering und kaum Abbildungsfehler. Sigma bietet wirklich mit der Art Serie hervorragende Objektive. Das vergleichbare Nikon 1224 mm beruht immer noch auf einer alten Objektiv Rechnung und brachte weniger Leistung.
Alvin –
Bought this at the end of July and have been loving every moment of that decision. I love shooting wide angle shots so this was a nobrainer for the quality and price point.
Wei –
Just arrived yesterday. This lens is amazing. It focus surprisingly fast and is about the same size as a 2470 gm. The lens itself is a little on the heavy side but consider the aperture its not that bad. When shooting at f1.2 is it a litte less sharp than i imagine d but it is as sharp if not sharper compared at 1.4 with the ZA 35mm zeisd sony. Overall nice lens, good quality and bokeh.
Caleb –
This lens is amazing. Simply put. I love the fact you can declick the lens to shoot motion with it. And the 1.2, love it.
Kendall –
Performs just like a native lens. Im very pleased with the overall sharpness and clarity. I have been able to get professional quality shots thus far. I highly recommend it
Dan –
One of my favorite full frame zoom lenses for Sony E mount. This lens is incredibly sharp and produces amazing wide angle shots. Ive been shooting with it for about 6 months now and I can say that this is one of my favorite lenses. Also great for astrophotography with the fast aperture of 2.8
John –
Did some night Stars ETC work and it is nice sharp.
Oliver –
Dieses Objektiv der neusten Sigma Art Generation ist direkt fr das spiegellose Vollformat Sony FE gerechnet, dadurch ist es um einiges kompakter als die SLRFestbrennweiten, bei denen der Sony EMount an einer Art Tubusverlngerung sitzt. Die Bildqualitt ist Top, Blende 2.8 ist auch sehr gut, da lohnt sich eigentlich keine Festbrennweite mehr.
Anonymous –
Im impresses by this lens performance, optically is very close to perfect, Im really really impressed at its quality on the wider end. At 24mm is not bad by any means, f2.8 at the center is ultra sharp as well, at the corners it softens slightly, but fortunately it shows no chromatic aberration, so nothing to worry about.The autofocus is quick and precise although not blazingly fast. And the manual focus ring is a joy, it is perfect for focusing on the stars when shooting astrophotography.The Adobe profile correction for distortion is weird, it doesnt correct properly to straight lines and over corrects for the vignette, so you probably need to create your own profile.And finally, the lens itself is well built, sturdy, and feels well balanced with my camera, I thought it was going to feel heavier or even look larger, but I guess Sigma is taking advantage of the mirrorless benefits for wide angle optical formulas. Good jobI recommend this lens 100
Randall –
Absolutely worth every penny if you can make it through the day without muscle failure.
chris –
This lens has, so far, in my short ownership, been spectacular. Unbelievable sharpness, zoomed in, corners. I have been very impressed. Focus is fast and completely silent, I think. I am a photo shooter, not video, so make sure you check this out. This replaced my Sony 1635mm f4 lens so, getting the advantage of a full stop and somewhat wider field of view. So happy to get this lens and have it stand up to its reviews Very recommended

Very sharp lens, even in corners at 14mm, f2.8. I do a lot of night photography and have used the Rokinon 14mm f2.8, the Nikon 1424mm f2.8, and the Tamron 1530mm f2.8. This lens beats them all in my opinion, although the Nikon is very close. Virutally no coma in the corners, which was critical to me. Very happy with this lens
Petr –
The first was slightly decentered, would need to stop down to f2.8 or 4. Otherwise very sharp on a7r4 and confirming all the positive reviews. The second would not get sharp until f5.6 in the center and should definitely not have left the factory. No problems with any returns to BH. Taking a rest. I would be happier with smaller lighter f1.8 of this quality, unfortunately neither the Sony 35mm f1.8 nor the Voightlanders compare well.
Yuanlin –
Firmware v02 2020.07.21 fixed the AF problems I had.Really good lens. This is THE heaviest lens Ive ever owned, so take note of that. Good trade off for the fantastic image quality.

I bought this lens to replace my Rokinon 14mm f2.8 manual focus lens. I use the 14mm focal length often for landscapes, cityscapes, interior architecture, and astrophotography. My initial impressions with this lens is that the buildquality is very very good. The lens construction is rock solid. Image sharpness is excellent, even all the way to the edges of the frame at 14mm. I havent been able to test it for astrophotography yet, but I have been thoroughly impressed Would highly recommend this lens. It also pairs very nicely with the Sigma 2470 DG DN.

Hab mir das Objektiv gestern als Ersatz fr das Loawa 15mm f2 geholt. Vorweg kann ich sagen, ich bin absolut begeistert was die Qualitt der Bilder angeht. Der AF sitzt und selbst die Rnder bei Offenblende sind sehr scharf. Leichte Verzerrung bei 14mm ist nicht zu vermeiden. Dies lsst sich aber leicht mit Lightroom beheben. Die 2mm zum Sony 1635 F2.8 GM sind sphrbar und ich wrde sogar sagen, die Qualitt der Bilder ist besser. In dieser Brennweite gibt es keine Alternative. Mein Kollege hat das 14mm 1.8 und hier wrde hier auch sagen, das Zoom 1424 hat eine hnlich hohe Bildqualitt und steht dem nichts nach. Mit dem Brennweitenbereich kann man ber Astrofotografie, Landschaftsfotografie bis hin zu Streetfotografie alles abdecken und man muss nur eine Linse mitnehmen. Zudem sind durch die sehr geringe Naheinstellgrenze aussergewhnliche Blinkwinkel mglich. Eine Tolle ergnzung zu dem 2470 2.8 und dem 70200 2.8. Mit diesen 3 Objektiven hat man so gut wie alles abgedeckt und man braucht nicht zwingend Prime Linsen da alle der 3 genannten Objektive eine berragende Bildqualitt abliefern. Der einzige Nachteil dieses Objektivs ist fr mich die fest angebrachte Sonnenblende und das gewlbte Glas. Somit ist das Anbringen normaler Rundfilter und auch Steckfiltersysteme mit 100mm nicht mglich. Da mir die 150mm einfach zu gross und zu teuer sind, werde ich auf das Filtersystem von Haida, welches man direkt im Bajonette der Linse anbringen kann, zulegen.
Mark –
This lens is tack sharp corner to corner and preserves the Leica colors. Relatively light and compact… a beautiful lens and a bargain when you consider the price of its rivals… if you like the focal lengths you will not be disappointed.
SAM –
Fantastic combination of products, Adorama is always able to put together great deals The ND filters slide right in and theyre easy to use. The lens is extremely sharp and has a great build. 24mm is already an iconic focal length but worry not if you need to go wider. At 14mm, you can capture the Milky Way galaxy with a fast aperture of f2.8 and get all of it. Beautiful foreground compositions can be made with the stars as well. Fantastic astrophotography lens and landscape
b1280738291 –
This is most certainly the best sony E mount ultrawide on the market. It is lightweight and small in consideration of the specs and performance. Image sharpness at 14mm f2.8 is easily comparable with some prime lenses stopped down to f8. Low vigtetting, has no chromatic nor monochromatic aberrations and suffers no contrast loss with only a tiny flair when pointed at bright light at certain angles. Only drawbacks are at 24mm wide open corner sharpness isnt as good as 14mm and not being filterfriendly. There is yet any rear optical glass filters to fit and gel filters themselves are useless.
Steven –
One thing Ive learned through my years of photography. But good glass and good cameras. Everything else can be cheap. Buying Sigma lenses is a money saver for sure and most of the time is sharper and better than the name brands. You have nothing to worry about buying this lens. Its phenomenal and produces outstanding quality, sharp, and next to known lens distortion at 14mm. I couldnt have made a better purchase. This is my 3rd Sigma Art lens and soon there shall be a 4th.
Andrew –
This lens has probably reached the top of what can be realized from this focal length. It is absolutely sublime. Sharp as a tack but the beautiful bokeh is the thing Sigma have amazingly achieved at the same time. Its very difficult to do both wide open but they have managed it. If you can live with the weight just buy it Ill keep my adapted ZM 35mm 1.4 for when weight savings are at a premium.
Mihai –
Sharper than my Carl Zeiss 16354.

Like most consumers considering an expensive purchase I did A LOT of research before I pulled the trigger on my next wide angle lens.I chose the Sigma Art 1224 over Sonys native G Master 1635 I already have the Tamron 2875 so the 2835 focal range was already covered by that lens. Of course, now Im missing the 2428 focal range, but its not a deal breaker for me when I can move a few inches forward.Im 100 satisfied with my choice. Sonys GM lenses are great, dont get me wrong, but so is an extra 1100 in my pocket while also getting Sigma Art quality.

Had previously been using Zeiss CP.2s for stills, but this lens is all I use now. The contrast is nearly as good as the 6000 cinema lensescolors are gorgeous and the autofocus is blazing fast, even in low light. My friend had never used anything but an iPhone, but even her super underexposed photos were tack sharp.The only negative thing I can say about this lens is that it terrifies my dog none of my other lenses scare her.

Ive never owned a wideangle lens before but from what Ive gotten out of it has really impressed me. I shoot a lot of landscape photography and this lens is a new favorite next to my 24105mm. Even shooting straight into the sun this lens leaves a really nice bokeh and captures some beautiful sun rays.

Das Nikkor 14242.8 habe ich schon durch die Art Version fr Nikon ersetzt. Fr die LUMIX S5 kann ich mir schlicht kein besseres, preiseWERTERES Weitwinkelzoom vorstellen, aber weil die Kamera nur 24 MP hat, mchte ich zur Schrfe nur sagen, dass das Objektiv jederzeit mehr hergibt als die Kamera liefern kann vom 96 MP pixelshift abgesehen, den man nicht immer machen kann. Selbst dort sehe ich die Schrfe, die ich will.
Mason –
I absolutely love the f1.2 Its one of the few wide angle lenses you can get amazing bokeh

Im mainly a landscape photographer, and this lens matches what I shoot pretty well. The center is very sharp f2.8, but a bit soft in corners, but once you step down a little, the corners are as sharp.

Fast, tack sharp, focuses extremely fast, and better than the Sony imho.

We use this primarily for video with our A7iii and FX6. Panning shots at 14mm have a very nice wide FOV without too much warping or fisheye effect. The image is fantastically sharp across the image.The lack of a front filter ring limits the creative decisions you can make when this lens is in your kit however.

Ich konnte mich lange nicht zwischen dem Sigma 14 mm 1.8 Festbrennweite und diesem Objektiv entscheiden. Grund fr dieses Objektiv ist der grere Einsatzbereich bei immer noch sehr guter Lichtstrke. Die Bildqualitt finde ich berragend auch bei offener Blende. Auch merkt man dem Objektiv seine hohe Qualitt an wenn man es nur anft. Handhabung ist intuitiv und perfekt. Nach den bisher zugegebener Maen noch rel. wenigen Aufnahmen, kann ich beim besten Willen auer ev. das der Einsatz von Filtern aufwndig ist keinen Kritikpunkt finden.
Francesco –
Just got it and I use it in a bit of peculiar way, with a TZE adapter on a Nikon Z. So no profile automatically applied. I compared it with the sony 1635 GM and I kept the sigma and returned the GM.The sigma has much less field curvature and vignetting than the Sony GM and its centered. And its cheaper. Its a touch less sharp than the sony in the center but sharper as you move out from the center maybe because less field curvature.Disadvantages are AF works not as well but maybe a future firmware update of the adapter will fix it and no front filters only rear.

Ive had this lens out and about for a while now here in Korea and I am very satisfied with that I got for the price.Pros very sharp from f1.2 through f16. Honestly I dont even think about sharpness with this lens, I pick the aperture for the shutter speed and depth of field required and shoot. Frees up the mind to focus on more creative aspects of shooting, which to me, is the hallmark of good equipment. I shouldnt have to be thinking about how to overcome equipment shortfallsquirks while shooting.Autofocus is fast and accurate. I shot some f1.2 portraits of myself with a remote, and even with zero human oversight on focusing, I got sharp eyes using the standard center AF on my Sony A7RII.Manual aperture ring, AFMF switch why Zeiss, is this not on the Batis lenses, AF lock, welldone manual focus by wire…..all work without any tinkering or quirks, again, exactly how it should be.Good flare resistance, the lens was built assuming the use of filters so there is no severe vignetting even with a CPol stacked on a 10stop ND. Part of why it is so big. Again they designed it to disappear between you and the creative process, you dont have to think about the lens when shooting.Cons It is huge and heavy. I am seriously considering a second 35mm for backpacking.The rendering is accurate and clinical. Theres no magic like some brands. Not a big deal, just post process.There is field curvature. At f1.22 if I want the corner at infinity to be sharp, I need to focus at the corner. This is almost never occurring in real shooting situations. Its very much a problem if youre primary subject matter are resolution charts and brick walls at ultra wide apertures. Thankfully, I shoot real photos and not lens tests, so this has never effected a real world image.Dont hesitate

Use this lens for full frame a7iii and FX6 cameras, love the wide end look, very sharp with great autofocus. Wish I could put a filter on the front though.
JEFFREY –
Love this lense… so flexible and the shots are amazing.

lenses take imaging and expression to previously unattainable levels with a stunning blend of extremely high resolution and softly dissolving background bokeh

I use this lens professionally and for my own personal photography. I almost didnt purchase it due to its size but the positives outweigh the negatives. It is a beautiful sharp lens, very fast of course, low coma issues compared to SonyZeiss I almost purchased for my Sony full frame camera. The biggest bonus is extremely close focusing and beautiful bokeh. I am getting used to the size when I see the resulting photos.
Brian –
Super shower lens with good color rendering
John –
We use this primarily for video with our A7iii and FX6. Panning shots at 14mm have a very nice wide FOV without too much warping or fisheye effect. The image is fantastically sharp across the image.The lack of a front filter ring limits the creative decisions you can make when this lens is in your kit however.
Tommy L –
This is a great alternative to the Sony GM lens of the same focal lengths.
Geoffrey –
I know that youre not supposed to use lenses like this for sports. I thought I would put it to the test during a local high school basketball game. What makes this lens work in this situation is that its coverage area is much larger than the scene, allowing to crop for a nice, tight image. Really bright. Lightweight. A joy to use. Looking forward to using it more in the future.
Mark –
This lens is tack sharp corner to corner and preserves the Leica colors. Relatively light and compact… a beautiful lens and a bargain when you consider the price of its rivals… if you like the focal lengths you will not be disappointed.
Barry –
f1.2 and sharp. Need I say more Candid shots in low light, super low depth of field when you want it. 35mm is perfect for so many scenarios. You know you want it Just buy it No regrets

Keeping in the long line of Sigma art lenses, this one delivers as well. Well build and super sharp all the way around. Not disappointed at all.

Ive had this lens only far a short time, so far all I can say is this lens is very sharp across the entire frame, even at aperture 2.8. I originally owned the Canon EF version of this lens, even though this lens is an entirely new design for the Sony E Mount, its right on the same level of image quality maybe even better, weighs 360 grams less, the smaller diameter makes much easier to handle. If youre familiar with ART lenses, you know what to expect in terms of build quality. Auto focus has been surprisingly really good, eyetracking doesnt miss a beat. Compared to the Batis 18mm this lens is superior in my opinion except weight. Cant comment on video autofocus quite yet with the small sample size I have. I was originally torn between this and the Tamron 1728mm. Bottom line, you probably wont dissapointed with either lens, but I think the Sigma will offer a little better IQ, have less chromatic aberration, be superior for astrography. If you do more video work especially on a gimbal want a lighter walk around lens, the Tamron is the way to go.

Super Objektiv mit ausgezeichneter Schrfe. Einziger Nachteil ist die fest montierte Gegenlichtblende. Das Problem kann man mit einem 150 cm Filterhalter aus der Welt schaffen.

Scent quality very nice sharp lensVery low distorcion . not very heavy lens. I had the 1224 f4 Sony. nice lens but I think I stay with sigma 1424 f2.8.
Jose –
Once again the sigma art series didnt disappoint. The color rendering is spot on, the auto focus is fast with no problem, its extremely quiet, the sharpness is there with very little distortion. I took test shots at 14mm, 18mm, and 20mm, at 14mm there was little distortion in the corners of the frame, with almost no vignetting at all ranges. The only problem with most Sigma lenses, is the weight of there lenses. The Sigma 1424 feels really good while Im holding it, but once its in my camera bag with two other lenses The Sigma 35 art, and Sigma 85 , this lens does add a lot to the weight.

Used on A7iii for architecture videography and photography. The 1424 range is just right and helped me capture entire spaces without it looking too warped. Having an aperture of 2.8 is just the icing on the cake. Built sturdy, nice strong ergonomic feel. The padded case is great to transport with too and exchange other lenses with. Love it.

Sold my Sony 1635 f4 because I wanted to go wider and faster and the overlap with my Sony 2470mm f2.8 seems wasteful. Glad I made the move. This lens is sharp and I mean sharp. Great autofocus and I think balances well with my Sony A7r4 and A9. Love it.
Al –
i have a couple of lenses that over lap this focal length which made me very hesitant in purchasing the lens. I am very happy that i did The bokeh and 3d pop you get from this lens is amazing. Only downside i can say is the weight and size but besides that no complaints here. IQ beats those negatives any day of the week. here are some jpegs i have from a photo shoot i have done with the lens

I bought this lens to replace my Sony 1635mm f4, and could not be more pleased with the purchase. After extensive testing, it has proven itself to be sharp across the frame wide open, with minimal moustache distortion. And it simply blows away my old Sony in the corners. Yes, its a little larger and heavier, but thats a price Im more than willing to pay for such a high quality lens.
Elizabeth –
No distortion like my fisheye lens
Ladislas –
Before saying that its not worth the price tag, what about giving a chance to the Sigma people for bringing us this baby, on my side a 1000 is rapidly forgotten when your everyday tool brings you this je ne sais quoi that makes your images unique on top of your style of course.. Cant wait
Jeroen –
Van F2.8 tm F16 superscherp tot in de hoeken. Licht qua gewicht en super stil. Een echte aanrader.
Johnson –
This lens is absolutely spectacular. Love the weight over a friends 14 mm Sigma which I considered buying. Already purchased the rear filter set, which is easy to use and less expensive over the bulky alternatives. Very happy with this purchase.
Tobias –
Who doesnt want a 35mm lens with a f stop of 1.2 This lens delivers exactly that. But with great power comes great responsibility. Responsibility in this case being weight and a slightly noisy autofocus.So if you have a strong set of arms and dont record audio right next to your lens I would say this is the lens for you.
Kyle –
Im using this lens for everything and it doesnt ever let me down.
Timothy –
This lens is amazingly sharp.It does have minimal distortion with close objects on the wide end. It is larger and heavier than some other options. Some trade offs are necessary if you want this FL range and f2.8.This is an amazing lens given the trade offs. Sigma Art series dont seem to sacrifice IQ for anything even if it makes the lens bigger and heavier. Im willing to deal with the size and weight to gain a wider view than the Sony or Tamron f2.8 options and faster than the Sony f4 option. I knew the IQ would be on par with or better than all other wide angle options so it was the perfect choice for me. It does not disappoint.
Matthew –
Ive never owned a wideangle lens before but from what Ive gotten out of it has really impressed me. I shoot a lot of landscape photography and this lens is a new favorite next to my 24105mm. Even shooting straight into the sun this lens leaves a really nice bokeh and captures some beautiful sun rays.
Dan –
This is a brilliant ultra wide lens from Sigma.I was a little skeptical about purchasing a third party lens for my Lumix S5, but the Panasonic lenses are just too expensive for hobbycasual use.The online reviews have done this lens justice however. It has excellent build quality, produces lovely sharp images, and the button on the side is a useful addition when the Lumix S5 is a bit short on extra buttons to customise.It is pretty heavy and bulky at approx 1Kg, but its a price worth paying.Overall a super lens that I highly recommend for ultra wide perspectives.
Timothy –
The lens renders quality images and handles well when attached to either my a7riv or a9ii

I just finished using this lens for a week on a short film video shoot. I really loved the quality of the shots, and despite the weight, I was still able to balance and use it in a RobinS. My only issue is the focusbywire they put into this lens instead of mechanical focus. That made it almost impossible to manual focus a moving subject since the speed at which you move the focus ring will change how fast the focus changes.Because of this you cannot do consistent focus pulls. That said, it did work great with touchscreen focus pulls, but when I needed to focus on someone walking away, manually focusing was very difficult although I did have pretty good success with people walking towards the camera with letting the autofocus face detection do the work for me.I also used the Sigma ART 50mm f1.4 and it was WAY easier to manually focus and set up focus pulls ahead of time because of the mechanical focus system.Just something to keep in mind for video shooters if you are looking at this lens over the 35mm f1.4 that does have mechanics focus.
DOUGLAS –
I have not had an opportunity to even get it out of the box. But with all the great reviews on this lens Im pretty sure its going to work for me. The five stars are for Adorama great service. First time doing business with them and wont be my last.

I followed Youtube reviews by Christopher Frost snd Dustin Abbott. Impressed by sharpness edge to edge over zoom range and apertures with no caveats. Also, lack of coma and control of chromatic aberration. I dont mind the weight as it is for special occasions. I am very pleased with the results I am getting. Good purchase.

Incredible lens, My favourite lens at the moment and I have Tamron 2875, Sigma Art 24mm 1.4, Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, Canon 135mm 2.0L and Sigma 85mm 1.4 to give you perspective of what I am comparing it to. Best ultra wide I have used, have had experience Canons 1635mm, 1740 and Sigma 20mm 1.4 Art if that helps.
Phillip –
Sharp pictures, great focal range. Very nice on my SonyA7iiii
Brian –
Tried it today it delivers nice images. Little tricky focusingtracking moving people. Frankly its really nice but not earth shattering. Youre paying for the 1.2 part and I rarely shoot at that aperture. Other lenses deliver just as well
Derrick –
When focus is precise, which usually occurs, this lens is phenomenally sharp. I have the Alpha One. Even at 14 mm landscape photos, when I punch in I get the giggles. Video is pretty impressive overall but focus accuracy is occasionally difficult to obtain. However, I blame that on my camera so I dont hold it against the lens. The one negative I have found is less than stellar high ISO performance. I dont know if its just a wide angle lens thing but as soon as ISO gets up to 2000 or 2500 the image degradation becomes too noticeable. Particularly indoors but also for astrophotography. Some recent Milky Way images were shot at various ISO values. The most revealing images needed those 1600 ISO. Even at 1600 my images were blotted with typical noise as well as a significant amount of magenta blotted noise. However, the magenta noise is most likely camera related so again, I wont punish the lens. Overall Ill give this lens a 4.5, so Ill round up to 5. The sharpness is too impressive.

Fantastic combination of products, Adorama is always able to put together great deals The ND filters slide right in and theyre easy to use. The lens is extremely sharp and has a great build. 24mm is already an iconic focal length but worry not if you need to go wider. At 14mm, you can capture the Milky Way galaxy with a fast aperture of f2.8 and get all of it. Beautiful foreground compositions can be made with the stars as well. Fantastic astrophotography lens and landscape
TIM –
This lens works great with my Sonys and the autofocus is accurate and sharp.I love the ND filters in the rear of the lens. Such a great idea
David –
I previously owned the 1424 art lens for Canon EF. I loved that lens, but it was huge and heavy when adapted to my Sony cameras, so I sold it and bought the Tamron 1728. I found I needed something wider for shooting interiors, so I bought the new FE mount version of the Sigma 1424. Its everything I remember from the Canon version with less size weight. Great image quality, fast accurate focusing, and much smaller lighter.
Igor –
Super wide and sharp lens. Autofocus works perfectly on a7iii. Great for vlogging, architecture, and landscape.
Shane –
I bought this lens to replace my Rokinon 14mm f2.8 manual focus lens. I use the 14mm focal length often for landscapes, cityscapes, interior architecture, and astrophotography. My initial impressions with this lens is that the buildquality is very very good. The lens construction is rock solid. Image sharpness is excellent, even all the way to the edges of the frame at 14mm. I havent been able to test it for astrophotography yet, but I have been thoroughly impressed Would highly recommend this lens. It also pairs very nicely with the Sigma 2470 DG DN.

Anthony –
with the new Sony 35mm 1.8 coming out at half the price and half the weight I was having a hard time choosing this lens over that one, after much thought I decided to pull the trigger on the sigma and from the moment I got it Ive been nothing but impressed. its really sharp wide open, with minimal CA, the focus is accurate and fast enough. the bokeh is absolutely dreamy and smooth. distortion is apparent and definitely a weak point for this lens in addition to its weight at 2.4lbs both of those issues arent big enough to over come how amazing the image quality is. I highly recommend this lens I couldnt be happier.
Ketan –
For some background, I generally do not mind lens price tags like this I paid 1,500 if the performance is outstanding and the rendering is beautiful. For the latter, the rendering is the reason to buy this lens. The look of a moderately wide angle combined with the 1.2 aperture is really a unique look. Fortunately, the lens is sharp at the point of focus whether at close distance or far and whether you are focusing at the center of the frame or midframe. If you focus toward the edges it can help to stop down a bit. The bokeh is really appealing not too busy unlike other fast 35s and I personally really like the vignette it produces. As for negatives, there are a few. I dont mind the size given its a 1.2 with autofocus, but I expected more symmetric distortion and field curvature. The distortion is a bit funny in that the correction affects one side of the image more than the other. Its not a simple barrel in the middle and that can make compositions on flat surfaces more challenging. The big issue I have found is the field curvature and in summary, the lens performance isnt a harmonic improvement when stopping down. Instead I find it is best at either 1.2 or smaller than f4. For some reason the field seems relatively flat at 1.2, but from 1.4 to f4 or so and in I cant get sharpness on a flat plane if I focus at the center at infinity. Using an offcenter midfield focus point is better as is focusing at a close distance where the curvature seems to affect the plane of sharpness less. The final issue is autofocus in that in single AF it can lock focus then refocus again on its own. Im not sure how that happens but also havent seen a firmware update.
Caleb –
This lens is amazing. Simply put. I love the fact you can declick the lens to shoot motion with it. And the 1.2, love it.
chris –
This lens has, so far, in my short ownership, been spectacular. Unbelievable sharpness, zoomed in, corners. I have been very impressed. Focus is fast and completely silent, I think. I am a photo shooter, not video, so make sure you check this out. This replaced my Sony 1635mm f4 lens so, getting the advantage of a full stop and somewhat wider field of view. So happy to get this lens and have it stand up to its reviews Very recommended
Mark –
Tried a Sony GM 1635. Loved it. But think I prefer this.
Petr –
The first was slightly decentered, would need to stop down to f2.8 or 4. Otherwise very sharp on a7r4 and confirming all the positive reviews. The second would not get sharp until f5.6 in the center and should definitely not have left the factory. No problems with any returns to BH. Taking a rest. I would be happier with smaller lighter f1.8 of this quality, unfortunately neither the Sony 35mm f1.8 nor the Voightlanders compare well.
Dmitry –
wonderful quality and sharpness
Eduardo –
Calidad y claridad a otro nivel. Este lente es maravilloso.

I was really excited until I received a used lens at the new price.When you spend money for the fresh out of the box experience and someone else already put their fingerprints all over and it was shoved back in the box. This was a big let down and, I can not even pretend to be excited. Great product. Really screwed this up.

This lens is awesome and great at everything you throw at it. The ONLY reason to get the 1635 is if you never go below 16 which I do and you like something to go beyond 24mm which I dont. My whole kit is Sony lenses besides this lens.
Mason –
I absolutely love the f1.2 Its one of the few wide angle lenses you can get amazing bokeh

One of my favorite full frame zoom lenses for Sony E mount. This lens is incredibly sharp and produces amazing wide angle shots. Ive been shooting with it for about 6 months now and I can say that this is one of my favorite lenses. Also great for astrophotography with the fast aperture of 2.8

I originally purchased this piece of glass to use for my real estate photography, but have also been able to use it for my landscape and Astro photography projects. Sure, it doesnt say Sony on it, and Im usually one to go with native Sony parts, BUT I am thoroughly impressed with both the build quality and AF performance of this lens. The Sony alternative to this lens is more than double the price and for me in this case that wasnt worth it. This lens is phenomenally sharp and with its fast aperture, I am able to capture a lot of light in low light situations. Definitely well worth the money for any landscape, real estate andor Astro photographer looking to expand their arsenal. Im sure it would work well with other genres, but I can only speak for the ones Ive actually used it for. 1010 recommend

This lens is perfect to shoot unique photos, although a little bit heavy. But its definitely worth the effort.
Francesco –
Just got it and I use it in a bit of peculiar way, with a TZE adapter on a Nikon Z. So no profile automatically applied. I compared it with the sony 1635 GM and I kept the sigma and returned the GM.The sigma has much less field curvature and vignetting than the Sony GM and its centered. And its cheaper. Its a touch less sharp than the sony in the center but sharper as you move out from the center maybe because less field curvature.Disadvantages are AF works not as well but maybe a future firmware update of the adapter will fix it and no front filters only rear.
James –
Super sharp, works well on the Sonys. Its weight is substantial when carrying a camera in hand. Thrilled with the purchase.

Surprisingly little distortion. Tack sharp. Fast. This lens has moved me from the believer to the enthusiast group for the Sigma Art series.
Sergio –
If 14mm field of view is ultra wide enough for you and for me, its MORE than enough then this lens offers a fantastic range and exquisite sharpness and image quality the Art lenses are famous for. Mine is paired with the 24702.8 Art lens, and I really dont feel I compromised anything by not going with the GM variants.
Alvin –
Bought this at the end of July and have been loving every moment of that decision. I love shooting wide angle shots so this was a nobrainer for the quality and price point.

This is an amazing lens. Its sharp, the build quality is incredible, and the focusing is fast and accurate. Im very impressed with the quality of image coming out of this lens. The only true competition on the market for this lens is the 1635 GM, and this is sharper IMO. Im selling the 1635 and staying on the Sigma. The only downside to this lens is the weight. Its hefty, but with a battery grip, its nicely balanced.
Jennie –
I had been eyeing this lens for a while. I knew that when I moved to a full frame camera that I would need an epic lens to go along with it, and as someone who has spent years shooting on a manual 12mm, this Sigma is absolutely wonderful I love the dimension and options that a wide lens gives, and paired with my a7r IVa, it is absolutely perfect for my needs. I have used it on landscapes, and I have even tried it on close up shots of flowers and insects. It has excelled at everything Ive thrown at it thus far, and I couldnt be happier. It feels durable in your hand, and it dials in smoothly. Most importantly, it produces beautiful shots.
Chris –
Been waiting over 20 days for my lens to ship to me.
Edmund –
Get this lens Been eyeing and wanting Sonys 1224mm f2.8 but could not justify the price tag. Decided that 14mm is wide enough for me for landscape and astro photos. I LOVE my 2470mm Sigma f2.8 and this lens is just as sharp with no distortion. high quality and sturdy build. The Haida Rear ND filters are also phenomenal and a great value 4 portable filters for less than one traditional filter. Been shooting Astro with it and the f2.8 is more than enough. Compared my astro photos from this Sigma at 14mm to my friends new 14mm Sony Prime and I honestly can not tell any difference unless you blow up and pixel peep at the very extreme edges. Go ahead and just get it.

This is an incredible lens, with superb sharpness and glorious color and details. I am stunned by the overall quality of the photos from this lens. the price is daunting, but if you want a great lens you will not be wasting your money. Strong recommend.

Vorige wide angle Tamron 1728mm. Ik schiet veel straat en landschap. De Tamron was niet wijd genoeg en wilde een zoom. De Sigma is fantastisch. 14mm is perfect. Weinig lensfouten, haarscherp, goed contrast. Wat me mee viel, na het zien van alle reviews. Ja hij is zwaar en best groot als je van de Tamron af komt. Uiteindelijk niet erg.. voelt juist degelijk.. en het front element ziet er waanzinnig cool uit. Autofocus zou wat traag zijn, niets van gemerkt. Ik ga ND filters missen.. nee nog niet. En anders gebruik ik die voorzetfilters wel. Een lens is persoonlijk maar kijkend naar de prijs is dit de sweetspot.

I tried several different ultra wide lens including Sony 1635 2.8, Tamron 1728 2.8 and this Sigma counterpart gives you not only 23 mm wider view, but significantly better overall sharpness.
