A Lente Sigma 50mm f/ DG HSM Art para Canon EF é um equipamento de alto padrão e projetada para alcançar alto desempenho óptico através da incorporação de dois elementos de vidro especiais de baixa dispersão e um elemento asférico de vidro moldado. Esses elementos, aliados a um design óptico avançado, trabalham para minimizar o alívio sagaz coma e as aberrações cromáticas, a fim de proporcionar alta nitidez e clareza. O sistema de grande diâmetro e flutuante da lente também ajuda a corrigir a vinheta para garantir o brilho periférico mantido. Um Super Multi Revestimento também foi aplicado aos elementos da Lente Sigma para Câmeras Canon para reduzir o flare e o fantasma para maior contraste e fidelidade de motor Hyper Sonic AF , juntamente com um algoritmo AF otimizado, produz desempenho de autofoco silencioso, suave e rápido que beneficia o uso dessa lente em uma grande variedade de situações. Este motor AF também permite o controle de foco manual em tempo integral para precisão refinada simplesmente girando o anel de foco a qualquer momento. Sigma Global Vision – Arte Como parte da linha de arte da série Visão global da Sigma , esta lente é projetada para alcançar um desempenho óptico verdadeiramente notável e é ideal para aplicações criativas e artísticas. Elemento Asférico de Vidro Moldado Esta Lente Sigma para Canon 50mm Art foi projetada usando uma estrutura ótica avançada para alcançar alta resolução e nitidez, além de uma qualidade estética fora de foco para uma maior separação do assunto. Um elemento asférico de vidro moldado corrige o alargamento do coma sagital e permite o uso total da abertura máxima f/ rápida com nitidez e clareza mantidas. Este design também funciona para minimizar videoclipe, borrão de cores e outras distorções ajudam a produzir bokeh natural e agradável para técnicas de foco seletivo e profundidade de campo. Ao reduzir estas aberrações, esta lente também é adequada à astrofotografia ou a outras situações com fontes de luz pontual devido à sua capacidade de suprimir o desfocagem perto das bordas do quadro. Elementos especiais de vidro de baixa dispersão Três elementos de vidro SLD Special Low Dispersion foram incorporados no projeto da lente para corrigir a aberração cromática axial em toda a faixa de foco. Isso ajuda a garantir a nitidez, a clareza e o contraste da imagem mantidos, independentemente do ponto de foco ou da configuração da abertura. Lente de grande diâmetro Ao projetar a lente com um grande diâmetro de e colocar os elementos mais largos dentro do grupo da frente, o maior brilho periférico é mais facilmente alcançado ao trabalhar com aberturas maiores. Este design também se presta a minimizar a vinheta ao longo da faixa de abertura para maior clareza e detalhes em toda a moldura da imagem. Revestimento Super Multi-Layer Um revestimento Super Multi-Layer foi aplicado aos elementos da lente, a fim de minimizar o alargamento da lente e o fantasma e contribuem para a produção de imagens ricas em contraste e neutro em cores, mesmo em condições retro iluminadas. Sistema flutuante Ao empregar um sistema flutuante, a distância entre elementos de vidro é ajustada durante a focagem para limitar a quantidade de movimento da lente necessária ao disparar. Este sistema flutuante ajuda a realizar uma distância de focagem mínima de com uma ampliação máxima de 1 Além disso, este design também contribui para recursos de renderização de alto detalhe em toda a faixa de foco. Motor Hyper Sonic AF O HSM integrado Hyper Sonic Motor realiza auto focagem rápida e silenciosa, complementada por um algoritmo AF otimizado para produzir um desempenho de focagem mais suave. O HSM também permite o controle de foco manual em tempo integral, simplesmente girando o anel de foco a qualquer momento.

As a landscape/nightscape photographer, this lens was a dream to use. While, at this time June 2023, there are no other 14mm lenses on the market, SIGMA set the bar high in terms of image quality, build and design. In this first look article, I’ll take you through real world situations and how this lens Impressions of the 14mm DG DN ArtRight out of the box and onto the SIGMA fp L camera, I noticed how nicely it sat in my hands. The removable tripod collar is a nice touch and came in handy each time I took the lens out for a shoot. With the ability to loosen the tripod collar and rotate the camera, there is no need for an L-bracket. This makes changing compositions a breeze. With the tapered design of the lens, holding the lens in your hand while shooting feels very natural. Allowing your thumb and middle finger to easily adjust the manual aperture ring as needed. After getting a good feel for the lens, I charged the batteries in the camera and out to shoot I tripod collar is extremely useful in the field, allowing for a sturdy base and easy changes from horizontal to I am testing out a lens, I always want to see what it can do at the extremes. The SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art, being a prime lens, helped to minimize the issues most lenses face when pushed to the limit. The extreme in this case was the super wide f-stop. This is something we have never seen before on a 14mm lens. I knew this would come in great for low-light situations and night photography, but I wanted to test it in more normal settings as well. Using the lens at definitely allowed me to use super-fast shutter speeds. Even though my images were shot on a tripod, these fast shutter speeds would also allow for hand-holding in many situations if in front of this deli with the sunset behind it was a good chance to open the lens up and grab some shots to get acquainted with the lens. I focused on the brick building in the center and the lens performed very well at this distance. I was roughly 15 feet away from the doors of the deli. Everything is sharp at this 1/2000s, ISO 200 – SIGMA fp LTesting the new lens at the maximum apertureDown on the docks at the lake near my home at sunrise gave me a good opportunity to get a bit closer to my subject with the 14mm DG DN Art lens wide open. Taking full advantage of the 14mm focal length allowed me to get down low on the dock, and focus on the “B” on the back of the boat to see how the lens performed wide open at a closer range. I was surprised that at approximately 3 feet 91cm from the focus point, the lens did really well and the gradual transition from sharp to out-of-focus is very pleasing to the eye. The image is very sharp where I want the viewer to look first, and then the softness as the viewer follows the dock into the sunrise works 1/5000s, ISO 100 – SIGMA fp LI had two more tests for the SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art lens at its widest aperture. First was this gorgeous church interior in Western Kansas. Having visited these churches several times before, I knew they were open most of the time and would make a great subject to test a lens of this focal length. Most of these small towns where the churches are located are home to only a few hundred people at most. I had the church to myself and was really able to take my time and focus on the performance of the 1/60s, ISO 100 – SIGMA fp LIn this shot, I’m on the balcony looking down with my focus being dead center on the altar. Everything on the walls front to back is in seeing this incredible performance I kept my fingers crossed for clear skies later that night to put the lens to the ultimate test. Sometimes in daylight situations, the brightness of a scene can minimize imperfections. Another things to note is that when testing a lens of this caliber, these images are not cropped. This is the only way to truly show edge-to-edge performance. This brings me to my final test at Venus setting in the western sky, slight air glow to the north, this old wooden church made the perfect subject to test the SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art at night! 15s, ISO 8000 – SIGMA fp LOne of the biggest issues night photographers have is coma stretching of stars in the far corners of a star filled sky. Sometimes the coma can look like spaceships, or comets, depending on the quality of the lens. I made sure to focus on the top of the church because if there was any coma, by focusing closer, it would have magnified it in the stars. When I got home and reviewed these images on my computer, it was a breath of fresh air to see the stars in the corners are about as perfect as you can get. There is no coma even at I had to look at the other images I took to see if this one was just a fluke. It wasn’t. All the images I shot that night looked great with the lens wide 15s, ISO 6400 – SIGMA fp 20s, ISO 6400 – SIGMA fp LMore helpful features of the 14mm DG DN Art lensAnother wonderful feature of the lens is the MFL manual focus lock. Once I dialed in my focus, I could lock the focus with this switch on the side of the lens. It’s done internally so even if I accidently move the focus ring on the lens, the focus doesn’t Manual Focus Lock makes it easy to keep your focus steady, even if you accidentally move the focus in some wide-angle cityscapes was fun too. I don’t know just how close this lens can focus but it does focus pretty close. I’d say it’s less than a foot Editor’s Note minimum focus distance is inches exactly!. This allows for some really wide and cool 1/6s, ISO 3s, ISO 100The examples above show you just how clean the image is in both the top and lower portions of the single frame exposure when the lens is stopped down a bit. This could potentially eliminate the need to focus stack, depending on the shooting 25s, ISO 100Long exposures in an urban area are fun to experiment with, and thanks to the sturdy tripod foot and MFL switch, it’s easy to get sharp shots featuring lots of vibrant movement from the busy lens also has an Autofocus Lock feature and is placed right where your thumb would sit when holding the lens. This is really nice when you don’t want to switch the camera to manual focus to lock your focus. By just pressing in on the button, your focus will lock, and when you release you can re-focus like autofocus lock AFL button is easily accessible and customizable depending on the camera body you’re it is with all SIGMA Art lenses, the 14mm DG DN Art is weather sealed against dust and moisture. When it started to rain while I was shooting this image I didn’t need to be too concerned. The rain was light and didn’t last too long. Having a well built, sealed lens gives me peace of mind when the elements are not 25s, ISO 6 – SIGMA fp LThe SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art is dust and splash-resistant for use in rugged environments and inclement thing some most landscape photographers enjoy is a lens with a nice sunstar. This lens has a minimum aperture of F16 which is small enough to create a nice sunstar. A sunstar is basically the light going through the aperture and being spread out across the blades inside the lens. The number of blades in your lens will determine the number and quality of points on your sunstar. Not all sunstars are created equal, and some are much better than others. The SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art lens, when stopped down to F16, does a fantastic job with this and adds a nice element to the 1/25s, ISO 100 – SIGMA fp LFinal thoughts on the SIGMA 14mm DG DN ArtFrom the moment I opened the box, and during my time using the SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art lens in many different locations and elements, I’m not sure I can find any faults with this lens. Yes, it’s a tad on the heavy side, but when you consider the aperture and the super wide-angle of view, it has to be. Yet, it’s well-balanced and feels good when you’re shooting with it. I’m looking forward to getting out a few more times with this lens. I can think of a lot of different things to shoot with this lens, from the city to dark, desert 1/320s, ISO 1s, ISO 1/200s, ISO 200How would you use this lens to take your photography to the next level?

Bookmark the permalink. Trackbacks are closed, but you can post a comment. The highest level of expressive performance, high-speed AF, and compactness―all combined in perfection. The new standard for “Art large-aperture standard prime. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and tremendous expressive power, SIGMA’s Art line delivers high-level artistic quality. The newest addition to the series, which has become synonymous with the Art line, is the SIGMA 50mm DG DN Art, a large-aperture standard lens designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras. While retaining the concept of the original SIGMA 50mm DG HSM Art that defined the reputation of the Art series, SIGMA has reexamined from the very beginning what is truly important in a standard lens used in a wide range of shooting situations. By incorporating all the latest technologies, this lens has achieved a high degree of compatibility between the optimum size and high-speed AF required for today's mirrorless systems, while maintaining the highest-class optical performance. In addition to the brightness of the large aperture and the large, beautiful bokeh effect, various aberrations have been optimally balanced in pursuit of uniform and balanced image quality throughout the entire image range, from the center to the edges of the frame. The result is the new "Art 50mm," a lens that is truly all-around capable in terms of expressive performance, maneuverability, and usability, and is designed to help photographers create their best work. Introducing the 50mm DG DN Art, SIGMA's ideal "standard" lens. High-speed AF for nimble and comfortable shooting The SIGMA 50mm DG DN Art is the first in the Art line exclusively designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras to adopt the “HLA” linear motor High-response Linear Actuator . In addition, by using a single double-sided aspheric lens as the focus element, the lens offers fast and quiet focusing and high tracking performance despite its large aperture. With a maximum aperture of and a high-performance AF system, the lens can be used in a variety of situations, including shooting in dark places, shooting moving subjects, snapshots, and even video. High performance, yet slim and compact The development of the SIGMA 50mm DG DN Art was focused on slimming down the lens barrel by reducing the weight of a focus lens and optimizing the lens unit layout, to pursue the "optimum size" for mirrorless systems without compromising the "maximum emphasis on optical performance" concept of SIGMA’s Art line. This lens has succeeded in achieving both top-class performance, and the size required for a light and mobile photographic tool. Full range of functions and high build quality The lens barrel is equipped with a Focus Mode switch, an Aperture ring click switch to turn the click on and off, an Aperture ring lock switch to prevent unintended operation, and an AFL button to assign any function from the camera*. These features are designed for intuitive operation during shooting. The lens is equipped with a dust and splash resistant structure, and the front element of the lens is applied with a water and oil repellent coating, making it suitable for a wide range of shooting environments. The lens is compact, lightweight, and easy to use, while at the same time ensuring high build quality assured by the Aizu factory's reliable processing technology of "Made in Japan". * Function available on supported cameras only.

SIGMA announce the new SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art - The world's first full-frame 14mm lens with an impressive aperture. 8 Jun 2023 104PM by ePHOTOzine Sigma 14mm DG DN Art Lens in Interchangeable Lenses Bring the night sky to life like never before with the SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art, the world’s first 14mm aperture lens for mirrorless cameras*. The lens has been designed from the ground up for wideangle applications such as astrophotography, landscapes, weddings and interiors, and is available in L-Mount and Sony E-mount. Thanks to advanced chromatic aberration and coma flare control the lens delivers exceptionally impressive edge-to-edge performance across all apertures, even when shooting very challenging subjects such as the night sky. The lens has an advanced feature-set including an aperture ring with both lock and de-click functions, a customisable AFL button, a Manual Focus Lock switch, a rear filter holder, and a built-in Lens Heater Retainer to hold a heat strip firmly in place. There’s also a newly redesigned front cap that securely locks onto the lens and features two compartments for storing sheet-type rear filters. With its ultrabright aperture and ultra-wide focal length this innovative and unique optic opens up a world of creative possibilities for nightscape, landscape, cityscape and interior photographers. * As an interchangeable lens for m irrorless cameras and SLR cameras excluding fisheye lenses, correct as of May 2023 Key features The world’s first full-frame 14mm lens with an aperture The SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art is the world’s first mirrorless lens with an angle-of-view this wide. The aperture is two thirds of a stop brighter than its predecessor the SIGMA 14mm DG HSM Art for DSLRs, which means it allows 58% more light on to the camera’s sensor. This makes it even better suited to photographing the night sky, as well as for using hand-held in dark environments. Optically optimised for astrophotography With its advanced optical design that includes 1 SLD, 3 FLD and 4 aspherical elements, the lens has been designed with astrophotography in mind. With a particular emphasis on optical quality at infinity focus, the lens has very well-controlled optical aberrations and sagittal coma flare, which ensures that bright points of light remain pin-sharp and round at all apertures and across the entire frame. The lens uses in-camera optical aberration control profiles to help correct for any distortion or vignetting, whereas optical issues that are more difficult to improve digitally, such as corner softness and chromatic aberration, are eliminated by the lens’s sophisticated optical design. Using optical aberration control selectively in this way helps to keep the size and weight of the lens down. A professional feature-set with superb build quality The 14mm DG DN Art has a professional feature-set that makes it easier for photographers and film-makers to achieve the best possible results. Built in to the barrel is an aperture ring, which can be set to auto for aperture control on the camera. With a very precise action, the ring can also be de-clicked if preferred, or locked in place so that it’s not accidentally knocked. At the front of the barrel is a Lens Heater Retainer, which was a feature introduced on the SIGMA 20mm DG DN Art. This helps hold a heat strip in place, which are often used by astrophotographers when shooting in cold conditions to prevent condensation build-up on the front element. The lens features a rear filter holder that allows sheet-type filters to be attached. Soft type filters are preferred by astrophotographers as they make stars appear softer, larger and brighter. Other types of sheet-type filter can also be used. A brand-new front lens cap has been specially designed with these types of filters in mind. Two filter slots are provided to store pre-cut sheet-type filters, allowing them to be carried with the SIGMA 14mm DG DN Art lens at all times. Previous lenses such as the SIGMA 14mm DG HSM Art used a push fit type cap. The new front cap now features a secure lock mechanism to prevent the cap from falling off unintentionally. An MFL manual focus lock switch can be found on the side of the lens barrel. This allows astrophotographers to find infinity then switch the MFL switch to Lock, which completely disables the focus ring. This means that even if the ring is knocked the focus will remain at infinity. As this type of ultra-wide-aperture lens is by nature relatively heavy, attaching the camera to a tripod using the camera’s tripod thread can make the set-up front-heavy, putting the thread under stain and making the camera unstable. So included with this lens is the TS-141 Tripod Socket, which ensures a more balanced set-up closer to the centre of gravity when mounted on a tripod. An AFL button is included on the lens barrel, which can be customised depending on the camera and system. The 14mm DG DN is fitted with Sigma’s new High-response Linear Actuator HLA motor, which delivers faster, smoother, quieter and more accurate focusing than a stepping motor. This is only the third Sigma lens to be designed with this technology, ensuring very responsive focusing in all shooting situations.

This is an in-depth review of the Sigma 50mm f/ DG HSM Art prime lens that was announced on January 6, 2014 for Sigma SA, Canon EF, Nikon F and Sony A mounts. Ever since Sigma announced its new “Art” lens line, it has been releasing superb new lenses and updates. The Sigma 35mm f/ DG HSM Art received the highest praise from us at Photography Life, especially after we compared it to the Nikon 35mm f/ and other 35mm lenses in our extensive when I first found out that Sigma had plans to update its existing Sigma 50mm f/ EX DG HSM, I got really excited, since I knew that the new Art-series lens would not disappoint. It has been too long since both Nikon and Canon updated their 50mm f/ primes. In the case with Nikon, its newer 50mm f/ yields better sharpness than the bigger and heavier 50mm f/ In short, the Nikkor 50mm f/ is just not good enough for modern high-resolution sensors and its performance at maximum aperture is rather disappointing and the Canon 50mm f/ is quite similar in that regard. The Sigma 50mm f/ Art announcement was very timely because it hits a sweet spot between the sub-par 50mm f/ Nikon and Canon lenses, and the exotic manual focus Zeiss Otus 55mm f/ EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/800, f/ wanted to be upfront about its intentions with the Sigma 50mm f/ DG HSM Art – it wanted the photography world to know that the lens was not to compete with all other 50mm f/ DSLR lenses. Instead, Sigma was to compete head-to-head with the now legendary Zeiss Otus 55mm f/ known to be the sharpest standard lens on the market. When the pricing of the 50mm f/ Art was finally revealed at $950 MSRP, it became clear that Sigma’s strategy was to capture the pro-market that wanted superior performance without the hefty price of the D810 + 50mm f/ 50mm, ISO 125, 1/200, f/ shared my initial thoughts on the 50mm f/ Art back in April, with pretty high expectations after seeing the MTF performance and the price of the lens. Since the Canon EF version of the lens was released first, I was able to get a copy along with the Canon 6D about a month ago. Since then, I have taken over a thousand pictures with the lens and was able to use it extensively during my trip to London. In this review, I will focus on my experience with the lens and what I think of it so EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/2500, f/ biggest concern with the Sigma 50mm f/ Art was its wide-open performance at f/ Since I am not comfortable with shooting the Nikon 50mm f/ wide open, I wondered how the Sigma would do in comparison. As you will see from this review, most of the sample images were taken at f/ to demonstrate the sharpness of the lens, its subject isolation capabilities and bokeh. Some scenes were specifically shot at very wide apertures in the f/ – f/2 EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/500, f/ 50mm f/ DG HSM Art Specifications Mount Type Sigma, Nikon, Canon and Sony Focal Length 50mm Maximum Aperture f/ Minimum Aperture f/16 Lens Construction 13 Elements in 8 Groups Angle of View Number of Diaphragm Blades 9 Minimum Focusing Distance 40cm/ Filter Size 77mm Maximum Magnification 1 Dimensions Diameter x Length Weight 815g/ A lens hood, front & rear lens caps are included with the lensCanon EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/3200, f/ technical information, including manufacturer-provided MTF chart can be found in the Sigma 50mm f/ DG HSM page from our lens Handling and BuildThe Sigma 50mm f/ DG HSM is built very differently compared to previous generation Sigma lenses – it has a very nice all-metal barrel instead of a plastic barrel like on the older Sigma 50mm f/ The lens feels very solid in hands and it has a far better feel to it than the Nikon 50mm f/ which feels and handles plasticky in comparison. At 815 grams, the lens is a beast! And it had better be, with its complex optical design featuring 13 elements in 8 groups, 3 low-dispersion SLD elements and an aspherical lens element. Almost three times heavier than the Nikon 50mm f/ and only 155 grams lighter than the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/ it definitely lets itself know when mounted on a camera. It will surely make a lightweight DSLR front-heavy, although it does balance out quite well on pro-level DSLRs. Built like a tank with an all-metal exterior and a metal mount, it feels like a Zeiss-class lens that will last a EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/100, f/ Sigma 50mm f/ Art features a 77mm filter thread, which makes it easy to use common clear, polarizing and ND filters without having to purchase different filters or resorting to using adapter rings. The LH830-02 petal-shaped plastic hood is pretty large and does a nice job in both protecting the front element and reducing ghosting / flare. If you like using manual focus or shooting video, you will find the focus ring to be large and very smooth. Similar to all modern Nikkor lenses, the focus ring gives a bit more resistance when you get to minimum focus distance and infinity marks, and rotates past those. From my quick measurements, the distance scale seems pretty accurate and is marked for both feet and meters on top of the lens. The small plate with the letter “A” shows that the lens belongs to the “Art” category of lenses that I mentioned earlier in the review. Right next to the “Made in Japan” text on the side of the lens, there is a switch that can be used to switch from Autofocus to Manual EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/4000, f/ is really nothing to complain about in terms of the lens build except one area – weather sealing. While the lens itself probably can take plenty of abuse, the lens mount is not sealed with a rubber gasket like on the new Nikon lenses. This means that you have to watch out for dust between the lens and the camera mount or it will easily make it into the camera and potentially even into the lens. As I explained in my “what to do with dust inside lenses” article, it is quite normal for lenses to suck air in and out when focusing, so I recommend to try to keep the rear metal mount area clean at all EOS 6D + 50mm 50mm, ISO 100, 1/320, f/
