When the Entire Night Sky Fits in the Frame
The Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is designed for photographers who want to capture the Milky Way, stars and night landscapes with exceptional width and brightness. Its combination of a 14mm focal length and f/1.4 maximum aperture is particularly suited to astrophotography while also providing dramatic perspectives for landscapes, architecture and interiors.
F/1.4 brightness for the night sky
The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, potentially enabling shorter shutter speeds or lower ISO settings when photographing stars.
It is particularly useful for:
- Milky Way photography
- starscapes
- night landscapes
- aurora photography
- dark interiors
- night-time architecture
Point-like stars across the frame
The optical design specifically suppresses sagittal coma flare, which can distort point light sources near the edges of an image.
The 19-element optical construction incorporates three FLD, one SLD and four aspherical elements to correct aberrations while maintaining high image quality at the wide f/1.4 aperture.
114.2° field of view
On a full-frame camera, the 14mm focal length provides a 114.2° angle of view, making it possible to include expansive skies, dramatic foregrounds and large architectural subjects in a single composition.
Manual Focus Lock
The MFL – Manual Focus Lock switch disables operation of the focus ring after focus has been set.
This helps prevent accidental focus changes during:
- long exposures
- Milky Way sequences
- star trails
- timelapse photography
- stitched panoramas
Designed for lens heaters
A dedicated Lens Heater Retainer prevents a separately available heater strap from sliding forward and causing unwanted vignetting.
This is particularly useful during cold or humid night shoots where condensation could otherwise form on the front element.
Rear sheet-filter holder
An integrated rear filter holder near the lens mount accepts cut sheet-type filters and includes a locking mechanism to keep them securely in place.
Stable tripod mounting
The supplied TS-141 tripod socket is Arca-Swiss compatible and provides a more balanced mounting position for the front-heavy optical system.
Its design also allows a lens heater to be used without interference.
Fast HLA autofocus
A High-response Linear Actuator – HLA provides fast, quiet and precise autofocus performance.
Although astrophotography often relies on manual focus, responsive AF makes the lens significantly more versatile for daytime landscapes, architecture and creative wide-angle photography.
Clicked or clickless aperture control
The aperture ring can operate with tactile clicks for still photography or smoothly without clicks for video recording.
Recommended for
The Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is primarily designed for serious starscape and night-sky photographers who need an exceptionally wide field of view, high light-gathering capability and specialised astrophotography controls.
It is also highly suitable for landscapes, architecture, interiors and other applications where an ultra-wide 14mm perspective is part of the creative composition.
Created to capture bright, sharp, and star-filled imagery, the Sigma 14mm f/1.4 DG Art Lens is a full-frame ultra-wide-angle prime designed for astrophotography. Its sophisticated feature set also makes it an excellent choice for architecture and landscape photography. This lens is part of the Art line within Sigma's Global Vision series, providing outstanding optical performance for high-end creative and artistic applications.
- Specifically designed for astrophotography, this 14mm f/1.4 lens provides a vast 114° angle of view on full-frame cameras. The lens is also compatible with APS-C models where it produces a full-frame equivalent focal length of 21mm.
- Optimized for nighttime shooting, the lens includes a tripod socket, manual focus lock switch, lens heater retainer, rear filter holder, and filter slots to assist in astrophotography applications.
- 1 SLD (Special Low Distortion), 3 FLD (Low Dispersion), and 3 aspherical elements combine to achieve outstanding sharpness, while also eliminating sagital coma flare, which distorts the shapes of stars. The optical design and super multicoating also minimize ghosting and flare when shooting starry skies and long exposure night scenes.
- Equipped with an HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) autofocus motor, the lens provides fast, quiet, and highly accurate focusing.
- Dedicated aperture switch enabling clicked and de-clicked operation.
- The lens is constructed using a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, along with traditional metals for use in a wide array of temperature variations.
- A durable brass bayonet mount ensures the lens is locked in place.
- Includes built-in lens hood.
