The Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM ART is an impressive lens both physically as well as regarding its creative potential. However, its extreme credentials don't come for free. Yes, it offers an insane max. aperture at this focal length but at least technically you won't find greatness at f/1.8.

So Sigma went where no man has gone before ... again. This time we'll explore the new Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM ART. Typically such ultra-wide lenses peak at a speed of (warp ... ah no ...) f/2/8.

Ultra-wide lenses aren't everyday tools for most photographers, but for some disciplines they're indispensable. I tend to recommend zooms at this end of the coverage range, as they're more versatile tools, giving you the ability to capture a wider variety of subjects without changing lenses.

Ultra-wide field of view; Very bright aperture; Very sharp; Solid build; Dust and splash protection; Available for multiple camera systems

Some barrel distortion; Soft edges and corners at wide apertures; Dim corners; Doesn't support front filters

A very capable lens giving very pleasing results. It does however take some time to master but in a good way as I think after practice will be a favourite in my bag. Central frame is extremely sharp and perfect for stars and night scenes. Edge focus washes out quickly but also crops out easily.

Consistent Output; Durable; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

Needs a little practice to find the sweet spot
