Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art Wide-Angle Zoom Lens, for Nikon DSLR Cameras (212955) - Bundle with LensCoat Rain Cover, Shade, Wrap, LensPen, Corel Mac Software Pack, Cleaning Kit

An exceptional addition to Sigma's esteemed Art series, the 14-24mm F 2.8 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F is a professional-grade, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that delivers superior image quality across all focal lengths and shooting distances. This lens is designed to pair seamlessly with high-resolution cameras exceeding 50 megapixels, ensuring top-tier optical performance throughout the zoom range. The innovative design of the 14-24mm F 2.8 DG HSM Art Lens incorporates three FLD glass elements, three SLD glass elements, and three aspherical lens elements, including one large-diameter aspherical element. This strategic distribution of high-refractive-index glass elements enhances the corrective effect of the FLD and SLD glass, minimizing transverse chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations.

The result is an outstanding high-resolution image quality that professional photographers crave. The first element in the optical system is a large-diameter aspherical lens. The optimized power distribution of this and other lens elements reduces distortion to 1% or lower. This ensures that points of light are rendered as points without streaking from the center of the image to the edge, providing abundant light volume throughout the frame. Furthermore, extensive simulations from the design stage have helped to minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring excellent ultra-wide-angle performance. Like Sigma's Sports line lenses, the 14-24mm F 2.8 DG HSM Art Lens boasts a highly effective dust- and splash-proof structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection.

This allows photographers to work in all types of weather conditions. The front of the lens is also protected by a water- and oil-repellent coating, making cleaning a breeze. The high-speed, high-accuracy autofocus feature enables photographers to capture those special moments in an instant. In response to the growing trend of virtual reality creators favoring multi-camera videography, Sigma offers a unique Front Conversion Service. This service converts the petal-type hood of the 14-24mm F 2.8 DG HSM Art Lens to an exclusive round component, allowing for greater flexibility in multi-camera VR videography.

This new front structure also prevents the lens from interfering with other lenses or casting a visible shadow. The 14-24mm F 2.8 DG HSM Art Lens for Nikon F comes bundled with a lens wrap, LensCoat RainCoat Rain Sleeve, cleaning kit, cap tether, cleaner, flex lens shade, and Mac software kit. This comprehensive package ensures you have everything you need to capture stunning, professional-grade photographs in any environment.
