Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN ART Lens for L Mount, Bundle with Mac Software Kit, RainCoat Rain Sleeve, Lens Wrap, Cleaning Kit, Flex Lens Shade, Lens Cap Tether, Lens Cleaner

Take your astrophotography to new heights with the 14-24mm f/ 2.8 DG DN ART Lens for Leica L. This wide-angle zoom lens is specifically designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras, offering remarkable resolution and uniform rendering performance right to the edge of the frame. It's the ultimate tool for capturing breathtaking starry skies, thanks to its ability to efficiently collect weak light. The 14-24mm F 2.8 DG DN | Art lens is part of a new generation of large-diameter zoom lenses, combining a compact body with unprecedented high-resolution image quality. The "DG" in the product name signifies its optimal performance on cameras with full-frame sensors, while "DN" indicates its design optimization for mirrorless cameras with a short flange focal length.

This lens is part of SIGMA's newly developed high-performance series for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It's designed to meet the growing expectations of photographers who demand high-performance, compact size, and an extensive lineup from their mirrorless lens systems. The lens boasts high-resolution image quality, achieved through the use of exclusive low dispersion glass elements and NPC (Nano Porous Coating). It features one FLD glass and five SLD glass elements, strategically arranged to suppress chromatic aberration to the edge of the frame. Three aspherical lenses, including a large-diameter aspherical lens at the foremost surface, effectively minimize coma flare, delivering mind-blowing resolution.

The lens also incorporates SIGMA's unique NPC (Nano Porous Coating) technology, which uses porous silica as the coating material. This reduces reflected light causing flares and ghosting, resulting in clear image quality. Designed for use in challenging environments, the lens features a high-speed, quiet AF drive, making it ideal for target AF such as Face/Eye Detection AF and video shooting. It also has a dust- and splash-proof structure, and a water- and oil-repellent coating on the frontmost surface of the lens. The lens comes with a rear filter holder equipped with a fall prevention lock for attaching sheet type rear filters, perfect for shooting starry skies.

Other features include a fast AF with full-time manual focus, lens aberration correction, an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for attractive blur in out-of-focus areas, and a high-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount. This bundle also includes a Mac Software Kit, RainCoat Rain Sleeve, Lens Wrap, Cleaning Kit, Flex Lens Shade, Lens Cap Tether, and Lens Cleaner, providing everything you need for your next astrophotography adventure.
