Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art Lens for L-Mount

Sigma welcomes the popular 14-24mm focal length to their range of Art series lenses. Now available for the L-Mount, this lens will prove a popular choice for Panasonic Lumix S series users.

The perfect lens for astrophotography

The new Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 DG DN Art Lens is a high-resolution, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that is perfect for full-frame mirrorless camera users.

Thanks to its low dispersion glass elements and NPC (Nano-Porous Coating) the lens has outstanding, high-resolution image quality making it a must-have lens for anyone with an interest in astrophotography.

In order to achieve the clearest images possible for starry skies, many photographers will minimize noise by shooting at lower ISO settings. This is made possible by using bright wide-angle lenses so that they can efficiently collect weak light.

Sigma has stated that this lens is the “definitive lens for astrophotography.”

Chromatic aberration is kept to the edge of the frame thanks to the arrangement of one FLD glass and five SLD glass elements.

Three aspherical lenses, including a large-diameter aspherical lens at the foremost surface,  are used to minimize coma flare to achieve incredible resolution.

The super multi-layer coating is combined with a newly developed NPC (Nano-Porous Coating). The lens has been designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight.

High-speed, quiet AF drive

Incorporating a stepping motor enables the high-speed, quiet AF drive. Shooting is comfortable even in target AF such as Face/Eye Detection AF and during video shooting. The AFL button which can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.

Dust and splashproof for use in any environment

The lens is dust and splash-proof and has a water and oil-repellent coating to enable shooting in any situation, even in tough environments.

The lens also comes with a rear filter holder as a standard accessory.

The aperture diaphragm uses 11 rounded blades, and the lens weighs 28 oz / 795g. No pricing information has been provided yet.

Also just released is the Sigma 45mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary and the 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art lenses which are also compatible with Panasonic and Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras.
