A Tough Competitor

The Sigma 14-24 mm f/2.8 DG HSM Art lens is designed for high-megapixel interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras.

Sigma’s Art series lenses provide a very high level of optical performance. The lens under review had a Sony E-mount and hence it was reviewed using a Sony A7II camera body. The lens is also available in Leica L-mount. It is a perfect companion for travel, landscape, wedding, architecture, interior and nature photographers and for photographing in low light.

Design & Build Quality

The lens under review is designed for Sony E-mount interchangeable lens full-frame mirrorless cameras. The lens feels ‘professional’ all the way with its superb all-black finish and clearly visible white letterings. The outer casing is a mix of metal and polycarbonate and appears strong. The lens mount is made from metal and has a rubber ring to prevent inadvertent splashes of water or dust from getting into the lens. Ten golden contacts convey information to and fro from the lens to the body. The front element is bulbous and hence will not accept the standard screw-in filters. A flower type lens hood is an integral part of the lens. The lens is made in Japan and weighs 790 g without end caps.
