The Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN 'Art' lens is a versatile, compact, and incredibly sharp lens suitable for full-frame shooters. It offers a wide range, from a very wide angle of 24mm to an impressive 14mm, making it ideal for landscape and astro photography. Despite its relatively compact size, the lens has a solid build quality, with a mixture of metal and plastic, and a smooth, quiet autofocus motor. However, the lens does not support conventional filters, which can be a drawback for some users. Image quality is exceptional, with sharpness and clarity maintained throughout the entire zoom aperture range.

While distortion and vignetting are present at wider angles, they can be improved by adjusting settings or using in-camera correction. Additionally, the lens produces beautifully soft bokeh, adding to its overall appeal.
The lens produces beautifully soft bokeh and is one of the most enjoyable and useful ultra-wide-angle lenses I've tested.
