Sigma's Art-line 24mm f/1.4 for DSLR — outstanding wide-angle prime with HSM motor.
The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art launched in 2015 as a premium wide-angle prime in the Art lineup, competing directly with the Canon EF 24mm f/1.4L II and Nikon 24mm f/1.4G. It offered Art-line optical quality at a lower price.
Optically outstanding — sharp from f/1.4 with exceptional correction. The Art-line design resolved concerns about coma for astrophotography. HSM motor is fast and quiet. Good close focus at 25cm. Well-controlled distortion for a fast wide-angle.
Available for Canon EF and Nikon F mounts. 77mm filter thread. Approximately 665g. No weather sealing. USB dock compatible for AF calibration. Minimum focus distance 25cm. 9 rounded aperture blades.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices. Competes directly with the Canon 24mm f/1.4L II and Nikon 24mm f/1.4G — often matching or exceeding them optically. The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art for mirrorless is the successor. Outstanding value for fast wide-angle.
