The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Lens for Sony E is a professional-grade wide-angle prime built for full-frame mirrorless shooters who demand edge-to-edge sharpness and a blazing-fast f/1.4 aperture. Engineered under Sigma’s celebrated Art line, this lens is purpose-built for landscape, architecture, street photography, and astrophotography, delivering exceptional clarity and contrast in any lighting condition.
Featuring two FLD elements, one SLD element, and four aspherical elements, the lens effectively eliminates chromatic aberrations, distortion, and sagittal coma flare — making it the go-to choice for nightscape and Milky Way photography. A whisper-quiet STM autofocus motor, a brass bayonet mount, and weather-resistant construction with Nano Porous Coating round out a lens designed to perform at the highest creative level.
Key features
- Blazing f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: Excels in low-light and night photography while delivering beautiful, creamy background separation at wide apertures.
- Superior Aberration Control: Two FLD and one SLD element correct chromatic aberrations across the entire focus range for outstanding sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity.
- Astrophotography-Ready Optics: Four aspherical elements suppress sagittal coma flare significantly, paired with a rear filter holder for sheet-type astrophotography filters.
- Super Multilayer & Nano Porous Coating: Minimizes flare and ghosting in backlit conditions while providing water and dust repellency for weather-resistant reliability.
- Fast, Silent STM Autofocus: The stepping motor delivers quick and near-silent AF, complemented by a Manual Focus Lock (MFL) switch, aperture ring click switch, and aperture lock for full creative control.
- Elegant Bokeh with 11-Blade Diaphragm: A rounded 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural out-of-focus rendering at large apertures across all shooting scenarios.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art compatible with APS-C Sony E-mount cameras?
Yes. While designed primarily for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, this lens is fully compatible with APS-C Sony E-mount bodies, where it provides an equivalent focal length of approximately 36mm.
Why is this lens recommended for astrophotography?
The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art is ideal for astrophotography because its four aspherical elements significantly suppress sagittal coma flare — a common issue with star-field shooting — while two FLD and one SLD element control chromatic aberrations. It also features a rear filter holder for sheet-type astrophotography filters and a fast f/1.4 aperture for capturing maximum light from dark skies.
What filter size does the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art use?
The lens accepts standard 72mm screw-on filters at the front, making it compatible with popular ND filters and polarizers. It also includes a rear filter holder that accommodates sheet-type filter material, especially useful for astrophotographers.
