For professional photographers and astrophotography enthusiasts, the Sigma 14-24mm f/ 2.8 DG DN ART Lens for Sony E is a game-changer. This high-quality, ultra-wide-angle zoom lens is optimized for full-frame mirrorless cameras, offering unparalleled resolution and performance. Designed specifically for capturing breathtaking starry skies, this lens excels in low sensitivity shooting, minimizing noise while efficiently collecting weak light. Its wide-angle capabilities and fast aperture of f/ 2.8 make it the definitive lens for astrophotography and landscape photography alike. The Sigma 14-24mm f/ 2.8 DG DN ART Lens boasts a compact body without compromising on high-resolution image quality, thanks to the short flange focal length characteristic of mirrorless cameras.

The "DG" in the product name signifies its ultimate performance on full-frame sensor cameras, while "DN" indicates its optimization for mirrorless cameras. This lens is part of Sigma's new full-frame mirrorless lens series, designed to meet the growing demands for high-performance lenses suited for mirrorless cameras. It retains the concepts of Sigma's "Contemporary", "Art", and "Sports" series, offering unprecedented specifications and performance. The lens features exclusive low dispersion glass elements and a newly developed Nano Porous Coating (NPC) for high-resolution image quality. One FLD glass and five SLD glass elements are 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, achieving mind-blowing resolution. The lens is designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight, thanks to Sigma's unique NPC coating technology. This technology incorporates porous silica as the coating material, reducing reflected light causing flares and ghosting, and achieving clear image quality. For user confidence in tough environments, the lens incorporates a high-speed, quiet AF drive, making it comfortable for target AF such as Face/Eye Detection AF and during video shooting.

It also features a dust- and splash-proof structure, along with 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 for shooting starry skies. Other notable features include a fast AF with full-time manual focus, compatibility with Lens Aberration Correction, an 11-blade rounded diaphragm for attractive blur in out-of-focus areas, and a high-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount for exceptional durability. In conclusion, the Sigma 14-24mm f/ 2.8 DG DN ART Lens for Sony E is a versatile, reliable, and innovative lens that offers superior performance for a wide range of photography needs.
