12 lenses of Christmas: June 2023 saw Sigma break the world speed record

Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art.

It’s summer and, while Sigma isn’t heading to the Bonneville Salt Flats, the company is nevertheless celebrating a world speed record. The new Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art becomes the fastest ever 14mm ultra-wide-angle prime lens, available for shooters with Sony E or Leica L mount cameras. Heck, this lens might even make it worth buying one.

As well as general ultra-wide-angle shooting, the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art is designed for top-quality astrophotography, so that stars don’t take on irregular shapes across the whole image frame. (Image credit: Matthew Richards)
