  • With the 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, Sigma has made another exemplary lens thatll gain interest from photographers and videographers who find the 35mm focal length a fraction too wide and a 50mm lens a little too long. On a 35mm full frame camera, a 43mm lens...

  • With a lofty price tag and the performance of other Art-series optics setting a high standard, we should expect a lot here – and we certainly get it. The lens is capable of resolving superb detail and beautifully round bokeh, with excellent control over c...

  • Super sharp images edgetoedge, durably built, no distortion or aberrations
  • Heavy, fairly tight focus throw, Price: $1,399, Info: sigmaphoto.com
  • A 40mm lens is a fairly unusual focal length on the still side. Zeiss sells a 40mm lens in its Batis series of AF lenses for Sony cameras, while Tamron offers a 45mm lens for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. The Art lens is priced competitively with its rivals and...

  • My thoughts on this lens can perhaps be best summed up with this photo:Nikon D750, 40mm, f/1.4, 1/1500 second, ISO 100.I don't think I could have gotten this shot with any other lens, and it's a testament to the quality and engineering that went into this...

  • The Sigma 40mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens features a cinema-first design that will appeal to videographers, but photographers may want to opt for a lighter alternative...

  • The Sigma 40mm f1.4 Art is a short standard prime lens designed for full-frame sensors and available in Nikon F, Canon EF and Sigma mounts with native Sony E and Leica L versions arriving later in 2019. The 40mm length falls between more common 35mm and 5...

  • After reviewing their mammoth 40mm f1.4, we got the Sigma 28mm f1.4 Art DG HSM in and were able to relax a bit while understanding that it won't be quite as heavy overall. The company's newest wide angle lens is perhaps being looked at with great curiosit...

  • Abstract:  I saw the Sigma 40mm f1.4 Art DG HSM originally at Photokina 2018 this year, held it, and thought to myself about just how massive it is. But it wasn't until getting it back in for review that I truly embraced the idea. The Sigma 40mm f1.4 Art DG HSM is a...
