Based on what i can find seems like its a full frame lens.

Sigma makes some great lenses and wish they got this with the RF mount.

If anyone has experience with this lens would love to hear.

DG means Full Frame;
DC means APS-C;
DN means for Mirrorless system.

I think $400 should be decent price for this lens because of its old design, and its bulky size and heavy weight.

insane deal on an incredible lens, it is a heavier older DSLR design but the optics are world class, second only to the Sigma 40mm f/1.4. one of the best wide angle lenses ever made.

I use the EF version no problem with the adapter on the RF system. Even better AF than with the DSLRs

I think I will wait for Sigma to bring this on DG DN instead of DG HSM, it would be perfect match with their new 50F1.2

Unfortunately I've used Sigma lenses for so long might be longer than your photographic age. You may have problems to get the points of other's opinion.

All of these lenses in the Sigma Art line have been great to me, and I'd highly recommend them!
I'm using them in the EF mount, both on fullframe DSLR bodies and adapter onto Canon R-Series cameras, and the sharpness is right up there or better than most Canon L-Series lenses at 2-3x the price.

The one downside with them, is if you use them on a DSLR at wide apertures (1.4). The Sigma line has always been known to have front- or back-focusing issues at various distances. It might work fine at 1 foot, but backfocus a bit at 10 feet, for example. You can somewhat fix this (with a lot of work/effort) using the USB Dock (or sometimes in camera), but that's a mess of a process to do.

If you use a mirrorless camera or liveview on a DSLR, you won't have any issues.

One other note - Sigma has so many different lenses in the Art line that are sometimes in such close focal lengths.. 14-24mm, 14mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 135mm.. my suggestion would be to find the one(s) that fit your style the most. 28mm is a nice focal length as you don't have as much distortion as a 20mm/24mm, and it's a bit wider than 35mm.


With all that said, I have about half a dozen of them: 14-24mm, 20mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, and they're all fantastic. I shoot them at f/1.4 whenever it allows for it, and images are very sharp, detailed and have nice color reproduction and clarity

great to hear.

Sigma has many great lenses a nice lineup of interesting ones. Yes i know i can use an EF Adapter for it buts its annoying as it is and have other EF lens's i use to RF.

Something nice about sigma is if not mistaken a rep from sigma was telling me that they can swap the mount for you so lets say they one day make it in RF you can get it swapped.

You got very, very bad information about the ability to swap mounts.

This is a huge lens in size and weight. The Sony 28mm F2 gets you close to this lens at a significant price, size, and weight reduction.

It's also easier to point the smaller lens at people if doing street or journalistic photography vs this behemoth.

This is an awesome lens, big and heavy (but not even close to the 40mm) and built like a tank. Probably the sharpest f1.4 lens I've ever own

I bought this lens from Adorama in August of 2022 for $449. It's an awesome lens - really sharp. I've used it on the Canon R5 and 5D MII. It works great on both. I like using it indoors on my pets. It's wide enough to get them full in the frame and gets close enough for headshots. It's also not too wide where perspective gets too pronounced. The large aperture is great for shallow depth of field and weak lighting. There are obviously many uses, but that is how I like using it.
