Although there are already some zoom lenses that cover 14mm, the F1.8 speed is an unprecedented value. The extreme angle of view and close focus distance of 27cm let you create close-up shots with present main subject in the foreground and impressively wide background. On the other hand, the extraordinary F1.8 speed enables a high-resolution main subject with background bokeh at its finest.
Its angle of view and F1.8 speed are also reasons why this 14mm lens is ideal for shooting the night sky and other nocturnal celestial scenes, in addition to landscape and architectural photography. The speed provides the necessary potential to capture as much light as possible at fast shutter speeds. This ability to capture moving subjects by adjusting shutter speed alone, rather than ISO sensitivity, provides a reduction in image noise caused by the camera sensor.
For this lens with Canon mount, there is a rear filter holder FHR-11 that can be mounted on the rear end of the 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art with Canon mount.
The FHR-11 rear filter holder is an accessory kit designed exclusively for this lens. It allows the photographer to use a film filter on the lens. Mounting the filter on the back of the lens provides more creative freedom.
All information for customers who would like to mount the filter holder can be found here.
Utilizing the extremely wide angle of view to create a dramatic image impression, an ultra-wide angle lens allows you to get close to the subject while including a very large portion of the background ? with this lens, the angle of view goes far beyond normal human vision.
The SIGMA 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art combines a very large depth of field, due to the wide angle of view, with a very narrow depth of field, due to the F1.8 speed, resulting in a sharply captured subject that stands out against the expansive background that fades into beautiful bokeh. It's a highly impressive kind of photographic expression that was badly lacking until now.
Minimized chromatic aberration
Three FLD glass elements ("F" Low Dispersion) and four SLD (Super Low Dispersion) glass elements minimize lateral chromatic aberration, which is otherwise often visible when shooting with ultra-wide-angle lenses. The result is superior image quality from the center of the image to the edges.
Large diameter aspherical lens element
The SIGMA 12-24mm F4 DG HSM | Art was the first SIGMA lens to feature a large 80mm diameter aspherical lens element. Building on the expertise we gained from this success, we also equipped this lens with a large precision-blanked ?80mm aspherical front lens. It was this technology that made a 14mm F1.8 possible - the first of its kind
Minimized distortion
As the front lens, the large ?80mm precision-blanked aspherical lens effectively minimizes distortion. This lens with excellent edge-to-edge illumination delivers exceptional image quality from the center of the frame to the edge.
Unique bokeh
Even with its 14mm focal length, this ultra-wide-angle lens delivers a very shallow depth of field due to its F1.8 aperture, so the subject stands out clearly against the great background bokeh. Only a lens with a large aperture can produce this unique expression.
Fast and reliable autofocus photography
The large Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM) provides ample torque to the focusing group for superior speed, while ensuring exceptionally consistent performance even at low speeds. Together with the optimized AF algorithm, these features ensure fast autofocus photography.
The seventh 35mm full-frame fixed focal length lens in the Art product line
Introduced in 2012, the SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art was the first lens in the Art product line. Since then, we have developed a variety of lenses for this product line and the SIGMA 14mm F1.8 DG HSM | Art is now the seventh fixed focal length lens compatible with the 35mm full-frame format. Now even more powerful, the Art product line sets a new standard for fixed focal length lenses in the age of high-resolution cameras.
The mount is dust- and splash-proof
Since the mount of a lens is particularly susceptible to dust and other foreign objects, this lens has been designed with rubber sealing to prevent dirt from entering. The front lens element also has a water and oil repellent coating, so the lens can be used well in the rain, near water, or in other difficult conditions.
Includes Nikon's electromagnetic iris mechanism
In the Nikon variant, the lens features Nikon's electromagnetic iris mechanism, enabling it to process signals from the camera body. This feature provides precise aperture control and consistent performance during automatic exposure (AE) in continuous shooting mode.
Note: Some camera bodies may have limited functionality.
