Sigma 14mm f/1.8 HSM Art (Sony E)

Op 11 januari kocht ik bij Kamera Express (via de online webshop) een Sigma 14mm F/1.8 DG HSM Art Sony FE lens. Totaalbedrag 1599,00 euro. Een mooie prijs voor een heel degelijke en kwalitatieve lens met mooie degelijke resultaten. Razendsnel geleverd! Toppie! Momenteel staat deze lens bij Kamera Express voor 1399,00 euro, dus niet twijfelen, bestellen maar!!

Good Points: A well made solid lens wonderful FOV and super fast Improvement Points: The price !

Had this lens for over a month now and absolutely loving it, It is crazy excessively wide but such a cool lens to have. Perfect for travel, indoor or astrophotography. Been using it for a lot of events lately makes the room feel huge and lots of people plus the low light helps so much as often I'm indoors. It also gets very unique photos of people with the f/1.8 you get shallow DOF in a wide I'm very impressed. Autofocus works surprisingly well for such a wide angle with f1.8. Gets amazing landscape photos as well. Great video lens too but you will want to use Manual for the video. Different perspective on scenes and f1.8 good for B Roll.

This lens is not for everybody. If you need wide and fast and don't mind the weight and the price, get yourself one. Only negative I can think of is you can't use conventional filters.

The Sigma 14mm lens is a well made, sharp and very rectilinear lens and well worth the money. There are a couple of gotchas the lens is big and heavy and not something you can throw in a camera bag just in case. There's no aperture ring but autofocus can be turned off and the lens used with manual focus that being said, at 14mm, almost everything is going to be in focus. Apart from astronomy, few are going to really need 1.8 and it would be nice if a smaller, lighter version was available at a more sensible 2.8. Finally, we measured the angle of view at more like 105 than 114 which is not unusual with lens manufacturers though it could be partially down to the camera's viewfinder.
