A perfectly adequate and very versatile lens at a very reasonable price. It will produce images suitable for all but the biggest enlargements, or most demanding uses. For anyone with a very high-res sensor that is looking for ultimate image quality a better choice is the new 18-35 from Sigma ...

Sharp enough and with sufficient resolution for most purposes Optical stabilisation Useful focal length range Macro capability Very high image quality across the frame is attainable at moderate FLs when stopped down Pretty well put together from high quality materials

Corner sharpness significantly different from edge; Needs to be stopped down to make full use of the image sensor; Significant CA (purple and green fringing) at wider focal lengths; Not weather-sealed

A f/1.4 lens is meant to be used wide open at least sometimes (otherwise an f/2.8 lens is sure to be cheaper, lighter, and just as good). This one does meet expectations. Images shot wide open are pretty sharp already, and above all very "clean".

Sharpness; low aberrations; close focus; contrast; good working against the light

MF not that nice; AF precise but slow; size and weight of course

Sigma's lenses have consistently impressed-both in the lab and in the field-since the launch of its Global Vision branding initiative. Its Art line, which is defined by wide aperture designs that allow for low-light shooting and incredible control over depth of field, have been standouts, both in...

Sharp from edge to edge; Minimal distortion; Wide aperture; 9.8-inch close focus; Full-frame coverage; Available for multiple camera systems

Noticeable fall-off at f/1.4 and f/2; May require focus adjustment via USB Dock; Large and heavy; Omits stabilization

This lens is the latest addition to Sigma's 'Art' line of lenses that promise excellent optical quality and increased creative options thanks to a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture. Being one of Sigma's top of the range lenses, it sports a hypersonic focusing motor, brass lens mount and build quality...

Excellent sharpness; Very low CA; Low distortion; Well built; Fast focusing; Keenly priced

No weather sealing; Falloff at maximum aperture (although typical for the type of lens

So has Sigma done it again ? Well, the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A isn't flawless but pretty good nonetheless (keeping in mind that the test was performed on a 50mp sensor!). The center quality is nice straight at f/1.4 but the borders are plain soft here.

The Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM is another very fast, tack-sharp prime lens in Sigma's excellentt Art series. It exhibits low chromatic aberrations and very little barrel distortion while being able to focus as closeas 25cm.

As I begin this review I find myself searching for appropriate adjectives. A few that come to mind are sharp,...

Very Good Lens. Thank you!

Sigma has done a great job rolling out excellent Art-series lenses and the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art is not an exception. As you can see from the previous pages of this review, the lens shines in a number of ways when compared to lenses like Nikon 24mm f/1.4G or Samyang 24mm f/1.4, with its impressive...
