Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art

Sigma is calling their new 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art lens the ‘definitive lens for astrophotography’ and emphasizes its ‘outstanding’ resolution to the edges of the frame, achieved in part thanks to the inclusion of low dispersion elements and Sigma’s Nano Porous Coating (NPC).

The lens is constructed of 18 elements in 13 groups, has 11 rounded aperture blades, a minimum aperture of f/22, a minimum focusing distance of 28cm (11.0in.), measures φ85.0mm×131.0mm (φ3.3in. × 5.2in), and weighs in at: 795g (28.0oz).
