This lens offers photographers unprecedented creative perspectives. With its 35mm full-frame cover, 14mm focal length for a particularly wide field of view and an F2-excellent speed of F1.8, the Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art is the fast ultra-wide angle lens many photographers have been waiting for. Although there are already some zoom lenses that cover 14mm, the speed F1.8 is an unprecedented value. The extreme angle of view and the close-up limit of 27cm make it possible to take close-ups with the main subject in the foreground and an impressively wide background. On the other hand, the extraordinary F1.8 light intensity enables a high-resolution main motif with the finest background bokeh. The angle of view and F1.8 speed of this 14mm lens also make it ideal for landscape and architectural photography, as well as shooting the starry sky and other night sky scenes. Luminous intensity offers the necessary potential to capture as much light as possible at short shutter speeds. This ability to capture moving subjects simply by adjusting the shutter speed rather than ISO sensitivity reduces camera sensor noise.
