The Japanese company has just added two new fast wide-angle primes to their Art lens series, the SIGMA 20mm and 24mm F1.4 DG DN. Their compact and lightweight construction is specifically designed to work with Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount full-frame cameras. SIGMA’s legendary Art series, which was developed with supreme image quality in mind, really needs no introduction. This lineup includes many popular fast zoom and prime lenses, such as the 35mm F1.4 DG HSM, which was revisited last year with the introduction of the mirrorless-oriented DG DN version. The Art series already includes two f/1.4 DG DN members – the aforementioned 35mm and the 85mm F1.4 DG DN. Now, the family is growing with the addition of two new focal lengths, the 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art and the 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art. Both lenses are designed to cover full-frame sensors and come in two (mirrorless) mount options: Sony E-mount and Leica L-mount. Let’s take a closer look. SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art.

The fast f/1.4 aperture has an 11-blade design, which should result in smooth, round bokeh. Also, the lens can focus as close as 23cm / 9.1”, which is great for shooting peculiar wide-angle close-ups. SIGMA 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art. Source: SIGMA The optical design consists of 17...
