Sigma 24mm F1.4 ART FE Image Gallery The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM | ART was, I believe, the only ART series lens that I missed reviewing when it was initially released. In the past few months Sigma has been releasing new versions of its ART series in Sony FE (full frame E-mount), so I […] [Read more...]
The original idea behind mirrorless cameras was they would be smaller, lighter alternatives to DSLRs due to the differences in technology while providing similar levels of optical performance. As I’ve noted in many subsequent reviews this idea is often lost, as frequently lenses designed for mirrorless (like the Sony [Read more...]

Wide angle lenses and filters are a bit of a nightmare. One of the main challenges many photographers have to consider is that using anything but the bare lens involves expense, bulk, and inconvenience. Lenses with less focal lengths and smaller maximum apertures can often use typical screw-in filters, but at the cos [Read more...]

Others of you have a passion for photography but a limited budget. So, periodically, I like to [Read more...]
Sigma’s first macro lens in the ART series has flown somewhat under the radar, overshadowed by the more flamboyant lens announcements (Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 ART, 105mm f/1.4) along with the announcement of the Sony FE retrofit of the ART series. Sigma’s approach is a little different from the established conventi [Read more...]
