Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM ART, Nikon F (EU)

This lens opens up unprecedented creative perspectives for photographers. With its 35mm full-frame coverage, 14mm focal length for an exceptionally wide field of view, and a maximum aperture of F1.8, the Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art is the bright ultra-wide-angle lens that many photographers have long awaited.

Although there are already some zoom lenses that cover 14mm, the F1.8 aperture is an unprecedented achievement. The extreme field of view and a minimum focusing distance of 27cm allow for close-ups with a prominent subject in the foreground and an impressively expansive background. On the other hand, the extraordinary brightness of F1.8 ensures a highly resolved main subject with a fine background bokeh.

Its field of view and F1.8 aperture are also why this 14mm lens is excellent for capturing starry skies and other nighttime scenes, in addition to landscape and architectural photography. The brightness provides the necessary potential to capture as much light as possible at short shutter speeds. This ability to capture moving subjects by adjusting the shutter speed rather than the ISO sensitivity helps reduce camera sensor-related image noise.
