Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A ("Art") - Full Format Review / Lens Test
So has Sigma done it again ? Well, the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A isn't flawless but pretty good nonetheless (keeping in mind that the test was performed on a 50mp sensor!). The center quality is nice straight at f/1.4 but the borders are plain soft here.
A perfectly adequate and very versatile lens at a very reasonable price. It will produce images suitable for all but the biggest enlargements, or most demanding uses. For anyone with a very high-res sensor that is looking for ultimate image quality a better choice is the new 18-35 from Sigma ...
- Sharp enough and with sufficient resolution for most purposes Optical stabilisation Useful focal length range Macro capability Very high image quality across the frame is attainable at moderate FLs when stopped down Pretty well put together from high quality materials
- Corner sharpness significantly different from edge
- Needs to be stopped down to make full use of the image sensor
- Significant CA (purple and green fringing) at wider focal lengths
- Not weather-sealed

Seems to have much better focus than mc-11 adapted canon mount version I have
Image Quality aside (which is super sharp from my experience with the EF/MC-11 combo), the focus seems much better on FE mount than my adapted 24. I Have 2 A9's so set them to identical settings and did a quick non-scientific test in a VERY dark room (think I was at 60 shutter wide open at 3200...
