Description
The SIGMA 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is the world`s first and only lens that combines an ultra-wide angle of 14mm with a maximum aperture of F1.4. The stars in the sky are a source of inspiration for viewers. On the other hand, the starry sky is a very demanding subject for a wide-angle lens, with its numerous tiny point light sources spread over the entire image. Starscape PhotographyThe 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is the world`s widest F1.4 single focal length lens, born from SIGMA`s engineers` passion for capturing the widest, brightest, highest-resolution, and most captivating starry sky possible. Thanks to SIGMA`s latest technology, the lens combines an ultra-wide angle of 14mm with a maximum aperture of F1.4. In addition, SIGMA`s lens technology has achieved high optical performance with thorough correction of sagittal coma flare, specialized functions to support starry landscape photography, and high-speed AF with an HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) linear motor. Its proven ability to shoot starscapes will provide new possibilities for visual expression and enjoyment in all scenes, including daytime landscapes, architecture, and indoor photography in dark and confined spaces. Ultra Wide-Angle 14mm with a Maximum Aperture of F1.4 and Outstanding Optical PerformanceThis world-first performance was achieved by applying the best of SIGMA`s optical technologies, from the design to the lens manufacturing process. 19 elements in 15 groups, including 1 SLD glass element, 3 FLD glass elements, and 4 aspherical lens elements, make up a luxurious lens configuration. This allows for advanced aberration correction and a high degree of precision in the lens construction. This allows both advanced aberration correction and F1.4 brightness. In particular, sagittal coma flare, which distorts the shape of stars, has been carefully corrected, and even at the widest aperture, the lens delivers high image reproducibility right to the periphery of the image. Ghosting and flare are also thoroughly addressed through both optical design and coatings. This allows for clear, crisp shooting of starry sky and night scenes. Optimized for starscapes, which require extremely high performance, this lens delivers images that exceed expectations in any scene, including landscapes, architecture snapshots, portraits, and indoor photography. Abundant Functions and Accessories to Support Starscape PhotographyThe 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is equipped with a wealth of features to support starscape photography. This fully backs up the fun of starscape photography. It includes a detachable tripod mount compatible with the Arca-Swiss type. The 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art can be mounted on a tripod in a more stable condition, as it is heavier on the front side. The shape is designed to prevent interference even when using the lens heater. The MFL (Manual Focus Lock) Switch lets you lock the manual focus at a desired position and prevents focus shift caused by unintentional operation of the focus ring. This is useful for long exposure photography, etc., where the focus is fixed. The Lens Heater Retainer steps around the front, and lens heater retainers prevent the lens heater from protruding into the front of the lens and causing vignetting on the periphery of the screen. The rear filter holder is provided as standard equipment at the lens mount for attaching a sheet-type rear filter. A lock mechanism is also provided to prevent the filter from falling out. It also has a special front cap with a locking mechanism and filter slots that has newly developed filter slot that canhold two rear filters, depending on the application. Signature Art Line Features and High Build QualityIn addition to functions specifically designed for shooting starscapes, the lens is equipped with various functions to assist in shooting, including an AFL button to which any function can be assigned and an aperture ring. | Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art L Mount High Speed AF Wide-Angle Camera Lens for Starscape Photography in Black | Financing Available
