Sigma 212954 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art Lens for Canon - Black

So, the lens has only arrived yesterday but I've tinkered with it. I've only taken a few pictures with this lens but the image quality is seriously good. Silent AF and ability to MF. Some distortion on close up (field curvature distortion) but nothing that Photoshop can't fix. Very sturdy built piece of kit with a large bulbous lens with petal shaped hood. It is very heavy and even more so with the Canon 5D Mark III attached (may need a camera vest to support if needing to use it quickly). Works beautifully with my Canon. What sets this apart from Samyang lens is the weather sealant. I am visiting Tromso soon to try and capture NL and try out Astrophotography. Will update and post images once I'mback.

Best purchase I made! I didn’t realise how much I’d need/use this but it upped my game and on top of that it’s just so much fun to play with on top. I take it everywhere (it’s quite heavy so that’s a pain, but I guess my shoulders are quite muscley now thanks!) there is quite some distortion even on the 24mm which is totally up to the buyers interest, I have another 24mm lens so this doesn’t bother me so much and was more interested in the wider aspects and also quite like the distortion in some fields of work.

Great Sigma construction with good size controls for zoom and focus.The petal hood protects the bulbous front lens.Image quality...Great even exceptional. Very minimal distortion for such a wide lens, sharp images and good colour rendition. The Canon EF equivalent, I would say, has a slightly better image quality but minor unless zooming into the image, based on cost, Image quality and my usage I opted for the Sigma and I have not been disappointed.I want to get into a bit of astrophotography and this lens is going to be great.In Short: Great Prime lens, great image quality, minimal distortion, acceptable price.

Extremely pleased with the image quality and is excellent value for money compared with the Canon EF equivalent. Calibrated the lens with my 5D Mkiv using FoCal where there was a 99.5% consistency of focus and front/back focus setting of 0.

Recommended for pictures of meteor showers . Arrived safely and well package, very pleased.

Nothing not to like - the bomb

Absolutely stunning lens!!!Using to shoot 4K video and photos.It’s just amazing!!And luckily Amazon offered me the possibility of splitting the payment within 5 months without interest charges.

Me encantó!!

pesante ma robusta e ben realizzata. Molto incisa anche a f2.8(uso su Canon r5) con ottima correzione cromatica . Non si direbbe che è uno zoom , ma un ottica fissa di prestigio. Posso dire nettamente superiore al 14mm Canon seri II

I love Sigma lenses (I have three). They are well built, handle well and tack sharp on my Canon 5D mk iv. The only downside is that they are bulky and heavy.

Extremely sharp lens and virtually no distortion. Very sturdy construction and flawless operation. I've only used it for landscape as I haven't have any astro opportunities, yet. The only "con" is it's much heavier than I expected. This thing is a brick and will take up most space in your more mobile camera bags.

L’objectif comme tous les objectifs de la gamme art est très bien fini, l’auto focus fonctionne plutôt pas mal en photo, en vidéo il a tendance à faire pas mal de bruit mais rien de très très gênant pour le montage, niveau distorsion il n’y en a vraiment pas à 14 mm c’est un objectif que j’aime beaucoup le seul inconvénient c’est qu’il est vraiment très lourd lorsque j’utilise sur un stabilisateur électronique la batterie c’est plus à une allure très très rapide ce qui est dû au poids des objectifs de la gamme are ou une image bien particulière que j’aime beaucoup, d’ailleurs j’ai que des objectifs canon L ou sigma art car pour moi c’est le top.Qualité prix c’est top.Si mon commentaire vous a aidé un petit clic sur utile merciiiiii
