Sigma24 Mm F/1.4 Dg Art Lens For Canon Mount

This is my first sigma lens and it has not disappointed.I bought it primary for shooting landscapes and perhaps astrophotography (if I ever get a clear night!). I use it with a Canon 5D mkiii and you can see some of the results attached. I've also used it with my 700D and works great as a wider portrait lens on a cropped body.PROS- Sharp as anything- Visually very pleasing and feels well built- Haven't used it much but I do like the carry case that it comes with.CONS- A bit heavy but when using a tripod this isn't really an issue.- No weather sealing :(I've also used the 35mm Art which is also a great lens and will definitely consider buying more sigma lenses in the future as they are amazing value for money.

Bought it and sold it - but could have been a keeper really, except that I already had two lenses that do a decent job at 24mm.A slightly odd focal length for such a fast lens to be honest. Way too wide for most everyday shooting/portraits/subjects but not wide enough for something like astro.But it is super sharp and produces wonderful image quality. I used it mostly for landscapes and would have to work the composition properly using my feet more. I could have come to use this as my standard wide angle landscape lens but ultimately decided that the flexibility of something like a 16-35 outweighed the image quality performance of this one.I have many sigma art lenses and they’ve all been excellent so far. I’ve not had focussing issues on my canon 5d mk4

I ordered this lens for event videography & photography as it has a 1.4 aperture and is great in low light.I also own the sigma 18-35 1.8.This prime lens does not seem to let in more light than the 18-35 1.8 and is not appreciably sharper which I expected as it’s a prime lens. It also weighs about the same as the 18-35. (They are both heavy)I couldn’t justify paying £600 for a lens that did not perform head and shoulders above the 18-35 zoom so I sent it back.Don’t get me wrong this is a great lens but if you already have the 18-35 i’d skip this one and get another focal length.This lens gives great colours and sharpness and I’d highly recommend it.

Been a couple of months now and although I've not had much chance to use this lens for what I intended - Astro and landscapes it's been great for a few nightshoots and museum visits.I've given it 5 stars for VFM as I was looking at the Canon options originally which came in a lot higher priced. This lens has delivered so far and I'm really looking forward to a some clear nights to test out the performance there. I think wherever I visit this lens will be in my bag from now on.

I purchased this after reading the reviews and I was not let down. The pictures I have taken have been crisp and without flaw. there is more that enough technical detail in the reviews already that I can confirm to be correct. I have 2 canon L series lenses I have been using regularly for landscapes and long exposures that I rarely put in my bag since I purchased this lens. Simply excellent value for money.
