Pros: Sharpness, colours, absence of chromatism, well-controlled distortion, "anticlockwise" zoom bezel, Canon style.

Cons: Overall dimensions, weight, weight, weight, sensitivity to side lights.

Opinion: I finally decided to take it! The first impressions are very good, already very sharp at full aperture (usable at 2.8 in Astrofoto focusing carefully, so it's just what I needed), beautiful colors, solid, excellent construction, very contained vignetting considering the focal range (I also had Nikon 14-24 and Canon 16-35 2.8 III, and it seems much better than both). The geometric distortion is very well controlled, chromatic aberration does not even know what it is! Between the defects inevitably the weight and a certain sensitivity to the lateral light, that if it manifests in the form of slight halos at night if there are for example side street lamps, but nothing that wide similar do not present. The real flaws remain the weight and the encumbrance: handling it is really challenging, also complicit in a non-exceptional ergonomics (the body is very wide and grasping it with one hand is not very reassuring). But if the performance is these, it is a price you will gladly pay.

Pros: Construction, value for money, sharpness.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Having to buy an optic with this focal excursion, for the Nikon d850, I wanted to conduct a bit of testing comparing the Nikon 14 24 and the Sigma Art 14 24, of course without any scientific claim, but making sure to look for those that could be the limits for The use I want to make. As weight and dimensions seem to me roughly equivalent, and both are presented with a prominent frontal lens to which you have to be very careful; I leave to others the considerations on Tropicalizzazioni, and anti dirt/fat treatments, but some constructive measures make it convenient, and of course, the more a lens is new and more technologically advanced (I remind you that the Nikon 14 24 came out in 2007 for 24 MPX, and at Apparently there is no intention to update it). I first tried the Nikon because I wanted that but the impression I immediately had is that it did not have a resolution power capable of solving a sensor from almost 50 mpx... then I went to an event where you could try the material nital , and I tried it again: the same situation! You have a feeling of homogeneous slight blur that accentuates the edges, where in addition are added important chromatic aberrations (it is true that it resolves in post, but here we are talking about the optics). I tried then the Sigma, and it seemed much sharper (I speak of power resolution, ie the ability to solve the fine detail that makes you appreciate the potential of the sensor; unable not test on a target, I tried to include subjects with plot , situations of light indentation, lines, at different apertures, as well as I had done with the Nikon). The chromatic aberrations on the Sigma seem to me much more contained and for this in post you can fix it better and sooner. A little more complex speech for distortions: at first glance, especially if you include straight lines in the foreground, they both seem to suffer a bit of barrel; In fact when you open the file in Photoshop, it is obvious that even in this the Sigma wins easy: The Sigma in the central areas and even further, it is straight (even applying the lens correction, you notice that only move the edges); Different story for the Nikon file; In this case we can see that the distortions start gradually from the center, to the edges (where, again, a considerable chromatic aberration is added), and this makes a correct correction much more complex. At more closed apertures the differences of chromatic aberrations and distortions, are reduced but do not disappear, while on the sharpness, the Sigma remains evidentememte much higher. In the end the choice is relapsed on the Sigma: In addition to the practical advantages of yield and constructive sturdiness, a nice saving of almost 800 euros (both official nital the first and mtrading the second). Good photos to all!

Pros: Sharpness, construction, brightness

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Skeptical at first for not having opted in original optics solutions but immediately forget using this great goal. It is exciting to just have it mounted. Will return a sharpness and strength like no other. Maybe a little heavy, but there's a price and you realize you have a perspective that makes for what it really is. Very satisfied to the extent of even consider purchasing the 50 mm that apparently if the play on an equal footing to Zeiss. Very happy with it. Vote 10!

Pros: Sharpness, construction, distortion correction

Cons: Poor resistance to reflections, weight and size

Opinion: Purchased today and immediately tested and also compared with 14 Samyang and 21 distagon zf2; the first impressions are excellent, but I reserve a more conscious judgment in a few months. For now I can say with confidence that the sharpness is excellent, even at the edges, a bit 'at all focal lengths, even higher than that provided by the 21 Zeiss; the objective appears solid and well made, the rings run smoothly; the correction of the distortion appeared to me very good (in this respect the Samyang is shredded). The weight is considerable and the overall dimensions must also be considered. The real neo I found it in tests carried out with strong lateral light, when I checked an obvious reflection. In the same situation the Zeiss has endured very well, the Samyang a little better. In the past I had Nikon 14-24 who had the same problem; in any case, both lenses have an imposing and protruding front lens.
