Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art

Without doubt, the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Fine art is one of the best ultra-wide angle lenses always made to this engagement. This lens has been available in both Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts for some time, simply now Sigma has adapted this lens for Sony East-mountain. So you lot are basically getting an SLR designed lens with an adapter bolted on, this means that it does retain its considerable size and weight.

However, despite the rather crude form of adapting this lens to Sony Eastward-mount, this can easily be forgiven since the Sigma 14mm f/1.eight Fine art produces exceptionally detailed images with very little distortion and chromatic aberration. The lens does have a large bulbous front element so unfortunately it won't accept screw on filters.

This lens does evidence signs of coma from f/one.8 to f/2.5 and you might even meet traces of coma at f/ii.8 if you take very vivid stars at the edges of the frame. Yet, blackout is withal not as prominent as on many other wide-angle lenses, and likewise you are unlikely to take very bright stars at the edge of the frame, then I still think it'due south a very proficient choice for astro shooters.

Pros: Extremely sharp, very well built
Cons: Size and weight, coma frame edges

Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG HSM Art

The Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG HSM Art follows in the footsteps of the wider 14mm lens and thankfully as well carries over the first-class levels of sharpness. Unfortunately it does nonetheless have the large bulbous front chemical element then information technology won't accept screw on filters.

Build quality is extremely loftier but it does weigh in at 950g. Autofocus is quiet and reasonably fast, but it's non every bit fast as native Sony lenses.

Wide-open up at f/1.4 and this lens is extremely abrupt even in the middle, stop downwards a little to f/2 and f/four and the sharpness improves even further! The edges are a niggling softer merely not by a lot. Chromatic Aberration is visible when shooting against a vivid groundwork, equally is a little barrel distortion which you lot may or may not desire to correct in post. Resistance to flare is very good and the bokeh is creamy and smooth.

Vignetting is certainly not the best controlled specially at f/1.4 (−three.02 EV). Step downward to f/two.0 and this improves to −1.61 EV, at f/2.8 you'll see around −0.70 EV. By f/4 and f/5.6 you really accept very little to be concerned about.

The Sigma 20mm f/one.iv Art Lens most definitely earns the Art badge. It's a unique lens that is certainly worth considering if you lot are looking for something in this focal range with a wide discontinuity.

Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art

If you don't listen the size and weight of this lens, then the Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens is definitely worth taking a much closer look at. Like all of the Art series of lenses from Sigma the build quality is height notch and key sharpness is excellent from f/ane.four up to f/eleven, the edges are a little softer until you reach f/2.eight.

Flare resistance is quite skillful and the bokeh is pleasing for a 24mm lens. Chromatic aberrations (either lateral or longitudinal) are non a meaning upshot merely there is a very modest amount of fringing when shooting subjects confronting a very bright background. Coma performance shooting wide open at f/1.4 however could be improved, yous'll need to stride downwardly to f/2.8 before yous encounter a significant improvement which is worth baring in mind if you lot shoot astro. Vignetting is certainly visible wide open and y'all'll need to step downwardly to f/5.6 before this improves.

Since this lens was released Sony have released the splendid Fe 24mm F1.4 GM lens, which if you lot tin afford (it's around double the price) should about definitely exist your start choice over this particular Sigma 24mm.

Pros: Splendid heart sharpness, flare functioning, distortion, toll
Cons: Border sharpness, coma, heavy, focusing

Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro Art

The Sigma 70mm F2.8 DG Macro lens for Sony E-mount (total-frame) is the commencement macro lens from Sigma that has been adapted to Sony Eastward-mountain. However, the word adapted here is very of import since the Eastward-mount version of this lens has been adapted from their Canon and Sigma versions that were originally designed for SLR cameras and not mirrorless. The additional adapter that is congenital onto the back of the lens body for the Eastward-mountain does add extra weight and length to the lens over its SLR equivalents.

Withal, despite this lens existence adapted from their SLR versions, information technology is a beautiful lens that costs well-nigh half the cost of the Sony Iron 90mm F2.8 G OSS macro lens. The images that it produces are razor sharp across the frame, chromatic abnormality is well controlled as is distortion. The boken is silky smooth and the lens feels like all Sigma Art lenses do, extremely well built!

Autofocus on this lens is not the fastest, you certainly won't be nailing sharp images of any bugs in flight. However, for macro piece of work I'chiliad using this lens in manual style 99% of the fourth dimension and so I'm not worried about AF functioning. The large focusing ring is extremely smoothen and gives you a lot of precision when manually focusing, nonetheless this precision comes at a toll, every bit the focus ring requires around 10 twists of the wrist to go from minimum to maximum distance.

Unlike the Sony 90mm Macro, the Sigma does extend when you focus. All the same, information technology never extends further than the lens hood and has never been an issue for me personally. Every bit it's a 70mm lens with a working altitude of 0.25m, y'all will need to get very close to your field of study for i:1 images, so there is always a risk of casting a shadow or scaring off your subject.

I own this lens myself and for the price y'all actually can't get incorrect with it.

Pros: Extremely sharp, colour rendition, chromatic aberration, build quality, cost
Cons: Slow autofocus, manual focus ring

Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art

The Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art is a beautiful lens that's extremely well congenital and as sharp as they come up. Key sharpness and fifty-fifty edge sharpness from f/one.four through to f/eleven is splendid, only starting to drop off effectually f/16.

Baloney is barely worth mentioning and flare resistance is very good. Bokeh is as smooth and creamy as it gets which helps to make this lens a great choice for portrait photography. Vignetting is rather on the high side, reaching 49% (−one.92 EV) when shooting wide-open at f/1.4 just thankfully this drops to just 27% (−0.89 EV) at f/ii and by f/ii.8 it'due south actually no trouble at (15% and −0.46 EV).

Autofocus is both fast and accurate simply there is no stabilization built into the lens. At 1,130g this is definitely not a light lens and you certainly won't forget that it's mounted to your camera.

Although the Sigma 85mm F1.iv DG HSM Art is an fantabulous lens, it face very stiff competition from Sony's own FE 85mm F1.4 GM lens forth with the Sony FE 85mm F1.8 lens both of which are considerably lighter.

Sigma 105mm F1.4 DG HSM Art

The Sigma 105mm f/1.iv DG HSM Art Lens for Sony full-frame E-mountain is an exceptionally sharp lens fifty-fifty when shooting broad-open at f/ane.4. Autofocus works almost as fast as Sony native lenses in good lighting, but in poor light autofocus starts to struggle a fiddling more. At that place is very niggling in the mode of vignetting and almost nonexistent chromatic aberrations.

However, despite its positives you tin't really overlook the fact that this lens weighs a massive 1645g and will brand your a7III look tiny, only once you meet the images that this bokeh brute is capable of creating you'll soon forget about the size and weight consequence. If I had money to burn I would certainly add this lens to my gear bag despite not shooting many portraits myself.

Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM Fine art

The Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM Fine art lens is currently the longest prime lens that Sigma makes for Sony E-mount and just like all of their other Art lenses this one also oozes quality. The lens is very well congenital and the controls are silky smoothen, it'southward too weather sealed to protect it from the elements.

Autofocus is both authentic and fast and fundamental sharpness is excellent from f/ane.8 to f/viii, at f/xi and f/16 it drops a little but is still very sharp. Even the edges wide-open up at f/one.8 are sharp.

CA (Chromatic Aberration) is barely visible and then in that location is petty need for corrections in mail service. In that location is a small amount of pincushion distortion but nothing worth worrying almost fifty-fifty for architecture shoots.

Flare control is very skillful although vignetting at f/one.8 is fairly high at 42% (−1.56 EV), just past f/2.8 information technology's down to 12% (−0.37 EV), and by f/4.0 information technology disappears more than or less completely (vii% and −0.twenty EV).

This lens has cute creamy bokeh which is virtually definitely its stand out feature along with splendid sharpness. I'chiliad in no incertitude that many Alpha shooters will mount this lens to their eastward-mountain cameras.

Pros: Sharpness, flare control, bokeh, toll
Cons: Heavy, no stabililization, vignetting wide-open

Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art

The Sigma fourteen-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art lens is one of Sigmas lenses that has been designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras and not simply adapted from their SLR family unit of lenses.

The build quality is typical Sigma Art series (excellent), the focus motor is very quiet and the lens has very good sharpness across the frame. If you like to shoot astrophotography so the wide f/2.8 aperture combined with low coma and vignette make this lens a very bonny pick.

The lens is weather sealed and there's an integrated rear holder for gel filters, unfortunately there is no filter thread for conventional filters although NiSi do make an adapter (B&H Photo | Adorama).

At f/ii.eight and 14mm both the center of the frame and corners are extremely abrupt and remain sharp through f/xi. At 24mm it's a similar story with excellent central sharpness with the corners being just a piddling softer at f/two.eight but these sharpen up at f/4.

There is some barrel distortion and vignetting at 14mm and f/2.8 but this improves by f/5.6, and at 24mm there is a little pin-cushion distortion. Nevertheless, for JPEG shooters if you have in-camera corrections turned on this will be stock-still for you.

This review from Christopher Frost is well worth taking the time to watch:

Pros: Keen build quality, sharpness across the frame, low coma and vignette
Cons: No traditional filters

Sigma 24-70mm F2.eight DG DN Art

The Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens has been designed specifically for mirrorless cameras like the Sony Alpha Series.

Until now if you lot wanted a 24-70 F2.8 lens then you either needed to rob a bank to purchase the Sony 24-70 F2.8 GM lens or sacrifice a trivial image quality and autofocus performance by purchasing the Tamron 28-75 F2.8 lens.

Sigma actually hasn't made many sacrifices here despite this lens costing around half the cost of the Sony 24-70 GM lens.

This lens is extremely well built, very sharp across the frame even when shooting broad-open up and the autofocus motor is fast and quiet.

The lens is let down a little when information technology comes to flare resistance and distortion when shooting at 24mm, but for the price this lens is practically a no brainer.

For a comparison with the Sony 24-lxx F2.eight GM lens and the Tamron 28-75 F2.viii come across this video from Gerald Undone.

Pros: Built quality, atmospheric condition sealing, very sharp, quiet autofocus, price
Cons: Flare resistance, distortion at 24mm

Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS

The Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN Bone has non long been released, as shortly as reliable information is known virtually this lens this department volition be updated.

I have purchased this lens myself and the image quality is very practiced and extremely shut to the Sony FE 100-400 lens.

Unfortunately the autofocus performance is not on par with the Sony. It misses more shots and if you are shooting bursts with AF-C priority fix to counterbalanced emphasis information technology struggles sometimes to lock-on and fire the shutter.

I volition be doing a total review and comparing with the Sony Fe 100-400 GM lens very soon.

Until then this start await video from Gordon Laing is worth watching:

Sigma 16mm f/one.iv DC DN Contemporary

If you are looking for one of the sharpest wide-angle APS-C lenses with autofocus, then the Sigma 16mm f/1.iv DC DN is certainly a lens that you volition desire to take a closer await at.

With a maximum discontinuity of f/1.4 this is a very fast lens. Key sharpness is very good at f/1.4 and f/2, and it becomes even sharper at f/2.8 through to f/eight. Diffraction does beginning to kicking in from effectually f/11 but sharpness still remains good.

In that location are signs of CA (Chromatic Aberration) both centrally and at the edges of the frame, only this is very low and can hands be corrected in-photographic camera if you are shooting JPEGS and in mail service if yous are shooting raw. Butt baloney is practically nonexistent and certainly nothing to worry nearly.

Flare resistance is extremely skillful and even when shooting directly into the dominicus it'southward very difficult to induce whatsoever flare at all. The nine bladed aperture besides produces very pleasing sunstars when yous step the aperture down.

The focus ring is buttery smooth and the lens itself is well built and weather sealed, the just existent downside to this lens is that the AF motor is not the quietest.

For astrophotography shooters this lens does unfortunately exhibit some coma. Stars are nice and round in the center of the frame, but closer to the edges they exercise start to stretch a little. Just that that certainly doesn't stop this beingness one of the best APS-C lenses for astrophotography, hither's a YouTube Review worth watching if yous shoot astro, and also a Sigma 16mm F1.4 vs Rokinon 12mm F2.0 Comparison for astro.

Pros: Sharpness, price, low CA, build quality, flare resistance
Cons: AF motor noise

Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary

The Sigma 30mm F1.iv DC DN Contemporary lens is i of the sharpest lenses available for Sony E-mount and their APS-C range of cameras. It's even sharper and offers better contrast than the more expensive Sony E 35 F1.eight lens. A new firmware update has likewise addressed earlier autofocus issues, although the Sony E 35mm F1.8 is still faster and more accurate when information technology comes to focusing.

Equally to be expected with such a wide lens, there is some vignetting when shooting wide-open, with around i 1/3 stops light lost in the extreme corners. However, stop downwards to f/1.8 and you'll already see a large comeback here. There is some lateral CA but this is hands removed in post or corrected in camera with JPEGS. Barrel distortion is definitely present but over again this tin be corrected in photographic camera or in postal service.

When shooting wide-open at f/one.4 the central sharpness from this lens needs to exist seen to be believed as does the creamy smoothen bokeh, you'll demand to pace downwardly to f/2.viii to achieve the same levels of sharpness with the Sony E 35mm F1.8.

There's no doubt that this is a brilliant lens and it's one that I have recently added to my own gear purse.

Sigma 56mm f/1.four DC DN Gimmicky

Just like both the Sigma 16mm and the 30mm, the Sigma 56mm f/1.four DC DN Contemporary lens delivers level of sharpness that demand to be seen to be believed. Central sharpness is fantabulous from f/1.4 right through to f/xi, and it is all the same very proficient fifty-fifty at f/16. The extreme edges are very practiced from f/1.four to f/2.8 and excellent from f/4 to f/11.

Focusing is both fast and quiet, flare well controlled and the build quality is very high. The bokeh is is very smooth making this an excellent choice for a portrait lens. Chromatic aberration, mild vignetting and distortion is nowadays, but in-camera corrections assistance to address these and if yous shoot raw you can also correct in post.

With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 84mm this lens is ideal for portrait photography. If coin were no object I'd certainly similar to own one.

Pros: Very sharp, cost, build quality, bokeh
Cons: Vignetting, CA
