Building the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN Art was a bold move. There’s already a very good Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art lens on the market, which was originally designed for Canon and Nikon DSLRs and subsequently repurposed for Sony and L-mount mirrorless cameras. And if you’re in the Sony camp, there’s also the thoroughly excellent Sony FE 14mm F1.8 G Master lens.
The new Sigma focuses primarily on astrophotography, where the brighter f/1.4 aperture pays dividends. Even so, it’s designed to be a high-performance ultra-wide-angle lens that’s entirely suitable for any scenario from landscapes and cityscapes to weddings and architectural interiors, and any time you simply want an expansive field of view.
