- The art of Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM is a fast, wide-angled lens that can take amazing photos of the night sky.
- It is quite heavy for 1.120 grams (2.5 pounds), but is compact for it.
- F1.8 Aferture allows you to take unique wide-angled pictures with the shallow depth of the area.
It is one of the most difficult types of photography to take photos of heaven in heaven. Not much of the light (open, tonight) and really want a really wide-angled objective to get epic pictures. Quick lenses are not difficult and not wide angled lenses, but rapidly Wide-angled lenses are rare. Rare and often really expensive.
This Sigma Art 14mm F1.8 DG HSM It is not cheap with any stretch, but it is reasonable, taking into account how fast and wide. For years, I have traveled with the predecessor of this lens, the art of Art 12-24mm F4 DG HSM. This lens was amazing for a lot of things, including interiors of submarines and Other tight spaces. Although F4 is not slow, especially not fast. I was able to get some cool pictures of the heavens full of the Milky Way and Star, but none of them really be loved. On a last journey Death Valley National Park in The kampervan I built14mm f1.8 and oh I was.
I have experience with Art 14mm F1.8 DG HSM
You can see a million miles tonight, but you can’t get too far away.
One of the great problems with astrophotography is the lack of luxury of time as you do in other low light situations. Location, turns after everything, so if you like the pinning points of the starlight, you need to limit your shutter speed. For a large-angled objective as my old art, 12-24mm f4 was pushed for him for 30 seconds. This 500 Rule 41 seconds said it was a maximum for this lens, but I saw it was too long. The worst may seem soft when most lenses are wide open (in this case F4), especially on the edges of the frame. So you often want to take a few steps, that is, the shutter time should be longer to get the same amount of light. This means that it is a delicate balance and has never been fully perfected with 12-24mm F4.
Visually, the art is similar to 14mm F1.8 12-24mm F4. This is almost a big big objective with F4 and weighs 1,120 grams of beef. On top of the field indicator is the distance scale of depth. It’s not much time for you to worry about the depth of the area that is so wide-angled objective. AutoFocus is not excellent, but the camera is a camera tripod for astrophotography and has a great hand focus ring to help make smooth adjustments. The front element has at least wings to prevent a little disasters in the outside. Nevertheless you will want to be careful.
Motor star watcher can help you take big pictures of stars with fewer lenses, but you can’t get anything on the ground and on the ground.
As I mentioned above, I have traveled with F4 for first years and tell you, you always continue to see the weight. In your bag, in the camera, transition lenses – are dragging. Mostly increases the weight of any camera he added. Thus, as well as 14mm F1.8, this is one of the main reasons why I hesitate to add to my set. I don’t do as much photo tour as I am using, so I don’t need such an objective.
Moreover, all major lenses are less flexible than a good magnified lens because each of them is the use of. Nevertheless, 14 mm lens has a very different view and it can be 35 mm or 50 mm lens, not very suitable for such situations. If you are not familiar with the ultrawide lenses, everything seems to be hit with a goopro. It is better than a gopro, but this is aesthetic. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, just thinking of something. Also the air is not threaded.

14mm F1.8 is a strong lens, but not as big as it seems. Here is my Canon mounted on R6. Note that the visible size of the AF-to-RF adapter is growing.

It was the first to admit that these lenses are far away and not for everyone, as far as I faced. On the one hand, there are a handful of fast, wide lenses like 14 mm f1.8 and none I know about it, wide and sigma. On the other hand, $ 1599 is a lot of money for a lens that most people will not regularly use. However, if you know you will often use it, great! I wish I would like to add to my set of space (and the money).
