Review VerdictThe Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN ART left us with some mixed impressions - especially following the outstanding results that we've seen from the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG DN ART. The center performance is generally excellent, but the borders/corners leave a bit to be desired at f/1.4 - and being advertised as a lens suitable for astrophotography, that's certainly not ideal. Stopping down to f/2 improves the outer image field a bit, but it is only critically sharp from f/2.8 onward. Image distortions are low, as are lateral CAs. The vignetting is very high at f/1.4 which is to be expected, of course, so auto-correction is needed here. The quality of the bokeh is impressive. Wide-angle lenses, even primes, usually struggle here, but the Sigma lens delivers comparatively clean and smooth results here. Axial CAs are noticeable at large apertures. The build quality of the lens is impressive, thanks to a tightly assembled combination of metal and durable plastic parts. Combined with a dust- and splash-resistant design, it is certainly good enough for professional use. The AF is fast and noiseless. Videographers will certainly appreciate the de-clickable aperture ring. Overall, the Sigma lens represents good value but it isn't an obvious choice. We'd rather see its strength in general photography and videos but less so in astrophotography.
