Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens (Leica L) - Brand New review
Was such a show of force indispensable? I admit there are some problems with answering that question unanimously. There is no doubt Sigma have proved time and again that they are perfectly able to produce excellent lenses.
Pros:
- solid, stylish casing,, sensational image quality in the frame centre,, brillant image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, fantastic image quality on the edge of full frame,, lack of chromatic aberration problems,, negligible lateral chromatic aberration,, imperceptible distortion,, excellent...
Cons:
- some problems with spherical aberration,, high level of vignetting at the maximum relative aperture on full frame,, significant physical dimensions and big weight.

While Sigma’s lighter, much cheaper and slightly wider 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art lens is perhaps a more sensible option for many, the 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM | Art lens's sterling optical performance deserves high praise.

Cons:
- Noticeable vignetting at widest apertures, AF sounds picked up on video, Very large for a 40mm lens, Far pricier than other logical alternatives, Heavy

Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art Lens (Leica L) - Brand New review
