Lens Design:
- The Sony E-mount 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM lens is a wide-angle prime designed for high-resolution, well-corrected imagery.
- It’s part of Sigma’s Art line, prioritizing image quality and rendering.
- FLD and SLD glass elements control chromatic aberrations and color fringing.
- Four aspherical elements, including one large precision-molded glass element, minimize distortion and spherical aberrations.
- A Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast.
Autofocus Performance:
- The Hyper Sonic Motor ensures fast, smooth, and silent autofocus.
- Full-time manual focus override is available by rotating the focus ring.
- The optimized AF algorithm enhances focusing performance.
Construction and Durability:
- The lens barrel is constructed using Thermally Stable Composite for durability in various temperatures.
- The brass lens mount ensures long-term durability and mounting accuracy.
- Rubber sealing in the mount design renders it dust and splash-resistant.
Compatibility and Versatility:
- Designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras.
- Also compatible with APS-C models, providing a 21mm equivalent focal length.
Low-Light Performance:
- The bright f/1.8 aperture is well-suited for low-light shooting, making it ideal for astrophotography and outdoor shooting in challenging lighting conditions.
