Let’s face it, huge zoom lenses are fun to use. Having the equivalent of a telescope strapped to your camera is all very well, but the bigger the focal length range, the more drawbacks in optical quality. That’s doesn’t mean big focal ranges can’t be useful in the right context. So, in steps the Sigma
The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro has a lot going for it. It isn’t just the first Sigma macro lens to feature Optical Stabilization but also works great as a portrait lens as well as having 1:1 macro abilities. It’s also not the most expensive in the Sigma line up, which means
When the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens was released in 2013, it stirred up the photography world. It became the first full-frame prime lens that was a part of Sigma’s Global Vision Art series. The lens itself gave its competitors a run for their money mainly for its price point but also its
As a third-party company, Sigma has made its mark within the photography industry. It has gained much recognition for the prime lenses that are commonly used. But Sigma is slowly stepping out of their comfort zone and starting to release a collection of zoom lenses as well. One of the first zoom lenses they releases
The Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens was highly anticipated and with some of the first encounters with the lens, feedback has read that it is one of the sharpest 85mm lenses around. Some reports have said that it is comparable to the Sony FE 85mm f/1.4 GM and even one of the best
A prime lens with a 14mm focal length isn’t anything new, but Sigma has upped the stakes here with not just a lens from the top-end Sigma Art series, but also a lens with a wide f/1.8 aperture. This means better low-light operation with a clear application for landscape and astrophotographers who want to shoot
Photography can become, in time, a collector’s sport. Like any endeavor, you start acquiring more and more gear over time and start thinking you need to use it all the time as well. This is especially true when you’ve paid a king’s ransom for a few high-end prime lenses and you must use them on
The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is a high quality, standard focal length lens which gives you an alternative to your own brand 50mm primes, with some added new features. These added features include an aspheric element for correcting chromatic aberrations, a rounded diaphragm for more pleasing bokeh, a large lens barrel to cut
How wide do you want? The Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM ultra wide-angle zoom is very wide, very fast, and very good. Designed for APS-C format cameras, it has the field of view equivalence that a 15-30mm lens would in full-frame. Many wider zooms for the cropped format are relatively slow lenses, this zoom has
Sigma has established themselves as not just a second choice lens, but a provider of different lens types to fit all occasions. The three main categories of Sigma lenses include ‘Contemporary’ for standard zooms, ‘Sports’ for telephoto lenses, and ‘Art’ for the top end of optics covering fast prime lenses, macros, and wide angles.
