Fast lens ideal for pro astrophotography, landscape and architecture

An advanced optical design which features 17 elements, including two FLD, one SLD and four aspherical elements provide superb optical performance. Sigma has refined the lens to minimise aberrations such as sagittal coma flare, which is hard to correct in post. The optics also enable the lens to accurately reproduce bright points of light, even in the extreme edges of the frame, which is ideal for night photography, stars and astro.

Super Multi-Coating and Nano Porous Coating (NPC) reduce ghosting and flare, helping to render high contrast results, even in backlit conditions. This is ideal for subjects including astrophotography, landscape and architecture, as well as reportage, street and more.

Superb build quality, portable and light

The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E meets the exceptionally high standards we expect from . It’s 30% lighter than the previous model, weighing just 520g, whilst also being around 16% shorter in length.

A combination of aluminium and Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) gives a sleek finish and the focus ring has a well damped, smooth action. A lockable rubber gripped petal-shaped lens hood is included, which can be securely fastened to the lens without risk of it falling off.

The 24mm F1.4 DG DN lens is ideal for longer outdoor shoots thanks to a dust and splash-resistant structure, a water and oil-repellent coating on the front element and a rubber seal around the mount.
