Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art Lens review

First of all you get a unique lens, unavailable in any other line-up. With that angle of view the best rivals offer you devices by about 1 EV slower. Secondly, the resolution results in the frame centre would break records even several years ago and they are typical for many Art series primes.

Solid and weather-sealed casing,, Sensational image quality in the frame centre already from the maximum relative aperture,, Good image quality on the edge of the APS-C,, Lack of problems with longitudinal chromatic aberration,, Imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration,, Sensible distortion...

Resolution on the edge of full frame could have been a bit better,, Weak performance against bright light,, A bit too high coma level,, Impossible to use classic filters.
