Sigma 28mm f1.4 DG HSM Art lens for Sony FE

This versatile wide-angle prime for full-frame cameras is perfect for a wide range of photo and video applications, including environmental portraits, landscapes, night sky and street photography.

The lens boasts an ultra-fast maximum aperture of F1.4, which ensures fast shutter speeds in lower light conditions, as well as a very shallow depth-of-field that helps isolate the subject from the background.

• Two FLD Elements, Three SLD Elements
• Three Aspherical Elements
• Super Multi-Layer Coating
• Hyper Sonic AF Motor, Manual Override
• Weather-Sealed, Protective Front Coating
• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm
• Compatible with Sigma USB Dock

The advanced optical design includes two FLD, three SLD and three aspherical elements, which help reduce chromatic aberration and ensure pin-sharp images across the whole frame at all apertures.

The lens also features a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for fast and quiet autofocus, and a durable brass bayonet mount.

High-performance optics

The 28mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art produces images with outstanding optical quality, with excellent rendering of detail across the whole frame at all apertures.

The lens has an advanced optical design made up of 17 elements in 12 groups, including 3 aspherical elements, 3 SLD elements and 2 FLD elements. This ensures razor-sharp results and helps to eliminate chromatic aberration, flare, distortion and vignetting.

An advanced Super Multi-Layer Coating on the surface of the elements reduces flare and ghosting when working in bright direct sunlight, creating high-contrast images with excellent colour saturation and strong blacks.

A capable optic in low light

Owing to its F1.4 aperture and wide angle-of-view, the 28mm is a superb lens for interior photography. It is a very popular option with professional wedding photographers, who need to be able to shoot hand-hand in dark conditions.

The wide aperture also means a shallow depth-of-field that helps to separate the subject from the foreground or background.

Outstanding build quality

The exceptional build quality of the 28mm F1.4 DG HSM is exactly as you’d expect from an Art-line lens, both in the materials used and the quality of craftsmanship.

The exterior barrel is made of a polycarbonate called Thermally Stable Composite (TSC). Not only is this very strong and light, but it has a similar thermal expansion rate to aluminium. This ensures that the interior aluminium parts and the exterior TSC parts behave in a consistent way as temperatures change.

The focus ring is rubberised for easier operation and focusing is internal, meaning the lens never changes length. This makes it ideal for use on a gimbal as the centre of gravity remains relatively constant.

To reduce flare and ghosting in bright sun, and to help protect the front element from damage if dropped, the lens has a robust petal-type lens hood.

The durable brass mount is surrounded by a rubber seal to help keep out dust and moisture.

Made in Japan

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at their sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.
