  • solid, stylish casing, sensational image quality in the frame centre, brillant image quality on the edge of the APSC sensor, fantastic image quality on the edge of full frame, lack of chromatic aberration problems, negligible lateral chromatic aberration,
  • some problems with spherical aberration, high level of vignetting at the maximum relative aperture on full frame, significant physical dimensions and big weight, I have no doubts that the Sigma A 40 mm f/1.4 DG HSM is a show of force of that Japanese prod

  • Fabrication impeccable, Large bague de mise au point, Pare-soleil avec verrou, Autofocus silencieux, Homogénéité exemplaire, Fort piqué, Bon traitement des lentilles
