  1. Greg Mathews –

  3. IGM –

    this lens is sharp ! a little distortion towards the edges on full frame, but it is 20mm ! Chromatic Aberration is under control. I use it on my Canon 6D and Sony A7R2 (with MC11 adapter) and it is Sharp ! I think I have said that twice now 🙂

    Literally the best lense I own currently, be aware itÂ’s incredibly heavy, but honestly once itÂ’s on a sturdy tripod it literally outshines all my lenses with itÂ’s amazing low light and shallow depth of field

    I’ve owned the Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art for just over a year now, and it’s by far my favourite lens to shoot with. I primarily bought it for astrophotography, but have also found myself using it for architecture and landscape photography (see the attached photos). If you’re a budding astrophotographer however, this lens is a must-have. I currently use it on my Canon 6D.Build quality:As expected for a lens of this price, the build quality is excellent. The materials feel premium and overall it is well-designed. It might be a bit heavy compared to similar lenses, but what you have to remember is that this lens is filled with quality glass. Sadly it’s not weather sealed, which may put a few people off buying it, but this has never really bothered me as I never intended to use it in the rain. My only gripe is that the aspherical element can’t be protected with a filter. However, the fixed lens hood does provide good protection from the odd knock or bash.Performance:Again, you get what you pay for. The performance of the Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art is superb. With a maximum aperture of F1.4 the lens really shines in low-light situations, especially if you’re shooting astrophotography. Shooting at F1.4 also gives you some really nice bokeh too, especially when close to your subjects. Autofocus is fast and quiet, and the focus ring is also smooth and quiet. I’ve seen a few reviews regarding back and front focusing, or missing focus altogether, but in my experience I’ve never had this problem. Just remember that if you are shooting at F1.4 you are dealing with such a shallow depth of field that the slightest movement will shift the focus.Image quality:The image quality on the Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art lens is outstanding. Just like the other Art lenses, the images are sharp and crisp. I found that stopping down to F2.8 is the sweet spot for this lens. Shooting at the widest aperture also produces sharp images too, but pushing the lens to this limit does incur a tiny bit of softness. However, this is not really noticeable unless you really zoom into the image. Likewise, shooting at the smallest aperture does incur a bit of softness due to diffraction. Vignetting is also apparent at the widest apertures, but this is easily corrected in Adobe Lightroom. I’ve not really experienced much chromatic aberration with this lens, but it does happen once in a while depending on what I’m shooting. Again, easily corrected in Adobe Lightroom. There is also a tiny bit of lens distortion, but nothing too detrimental.Overall the Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art is an absolutely outstanding lens. As previously mentioned, it’s currently my favourite lens to shoot with. I’ve never been too keen on ultra-wide lenses given the fisheye effect, so the 20mm focal length is ideal for me. Apart from a few minor gripes, the lens is near perfect, and is a must-have for astrophotography. I would highly recommend buying the accidental damage protection given the exposed aspherical element. Better to be safe than sorry! However, if you look after it well, you’ll have no problems. After a year of use, there are no marks or scratches on the element or lens itself. The Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art lens will remain my favourite lens until I find something better, which might take a long time!Pros:- Excellent build quality- Superb performance- Outstanding image quality- Fixed lens hood for protection- A must-have for astrophotographyCons:- Heavy when compared to similar lenses- No weather sealing- No option to add a filter to protect the front element

    Great Lens. Extremely sharp even when used wide open. Ofcourse as expected at f4.0 is where this lens really shines

  7. Marina Schiller –

    I bought this after watching reviews on YouTube but after more than a year of ownership I can surely say that I’m dissapointed.I have a Canon 16-35 F4 which does as well if not better which makes this a really poor buying decision. And it cost me a tone of money.For now I keep it. Maybe one day I will take the initiative and sell it. I definitely don’t recommend it. It is at best average.

  8. Cecil S. Pereira –

    Fantastic for astrophotographers and shots indoors where flash is not allowed. I love this lens

  9. robbie smith –

    Best cheap wide angle lens for canon EF
