Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN (Sony FE) lens

Sigma 24mm F3.5 DG DN (Sony E) lens

Lenses and especially photography are more than just numbers. There is the quality of the mechanical parts, the success of the industrial design. In other words, how the whole thing feels in the hand, how it feels to adjust the aperture or manual focus. Does the lens feel solid and does it seem like your hands find the right places by themselves. And is it smooth and even fun to use? According to initial tests, Sigma has succeeded in bringing these things to the I Series lenses.

What about the numbers, image quality and technical capabilities? These are also fine. The division into Art and Contemporary series is now very fluid and these new releases are close to the Art series, especially in terms of image quality.

This Sigma 24mm F3.5 is the weakest in the series in terms of aperture. Sigma didn't go all out when designing the wide-angle, a little bit of image quality here and aperture here, weighing about a kilo, but the lens is clearly lighter and smaller in size, but no compromises have been made in terms of image quality.

If you want to capture the Northern Lights at high speeds, this is not the best choice. But if you enjoy shooting wide-angle, combine this with a Sony A7R IV body and you will have an easy-to-carry set for professional landscape photography or journalistic use.

Sigma's lenses in this quality class now include 24mm, 35mm, 45mm and 65mm focal lengths. If you are thinking of replacing a fast professional zoom with a prime, for example, this series provides a great opportunity. Take this 24mm and 65mm and pair them with your most commonly used intermediate focal length and the set is complete.
