Outstanding sharpness, Very low CA, Beautiful bokeh, Fast, precise AF, Fast f/1.4 aperture, Excellent handling, Dust and splash proof

Understandably high price, No Optical Image Stabilisation, Flare when shooting into the sun

Sigma continue to aggressively fill out their Art, Contemporary and Sports lens ranges, and the new 28mm F1.4 DG HSM is the latest optic to join the well-renowned Art family, slotting in between the existing 24mm and 35mm models.

The launch of the Sigma A 28 mm f/1.4 DG HSM was an interesting even, concerning a very demanding segment with fierce competition. First of all, the Sigma has serious rivals among its own Art line, like very well made A 1.4/24 and 1.4/35 models.

solid and stylish casing,, sensational image quality in frame centre,, very good image quality on the edge of the APS-C/DX sensor,, good image quality on the edge of full frame,, lack of problems with longitudinal chromatic aberration,, slight lateral chromatic aberration,, imperceptible distortion,...

very high vignetting at the maximum relative aperture on full frame,, performance against bright light leaves a bit to be desired.
