  • With the 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, Sigma has made another exemplary lens thatll gain interest from photographers and videographers who find the 35mm focal length a fraction too wide and a 50mm lens a little too long. On a 35mm full frame camera, a 43mm lens...

  • Excellent sharpness, even wide open, Great corner sharpness at f/1.4, Lovely out-of-focus areas, Solid build quality, Virtually non-existent chromatic aberration
  • Noticeable vignetting at widest apertures, AF sounds picked up on video, Very large for a 40mm lens, Far pricier than other logical alternatives, Heavy
  • With a lofty price tag and the performance of other Art-series optics setting a high standard, we should expect a lot here – and we certainly get it. The lens is capable of resolving superb detail and beautifully round bokeh, with excellent control over c...

  • Abstract:  When you're buying a camera with interchangeable lenses, you're also buying into a lens system. For many, that means optics from the same manufacturer as your camera, supplemented via third parties. The L-Mount mirrorless system is a bit different-while i...

  Published: 2019-02-22, Author: Pascale , review by: Lesnumeriques.com

  • Fabrication impeccable, Large bague de mise au point, Pare-soleil avec verrou, Autofocus silencieux, Homogénéité exemplaire, Fort piqué, Bon traitement des lentilles
  • Encombrement important, Pas de stabilisation, Vignettage à f/1,4
  • Son poids et son encombrement en rebuteront plus d'un. Il faut dire que le 40mm f/1,4 DG HSM Art n'est pas l'objectif à tout faire que s'imaginent bon nombre d'utilisateurs. C'est néanmoins un objectif exceptionnel par ses performances optiques, dont nous...

  • Erg goede beeldkwaliteit, Karaktervolle tekening
  • Groot en zwaar
  • De algehele beeldkwaliteit ligt op een erg hoog niveau, en Sigma zou wel eens gelijk kunnen hebben met de eerdergenoemde claim. Het is mooi om te zien dat dit Sigma Art-objectief niet alleen enorm scherp is, maar ook in staat is om karaktervolle beelden t...
