Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Sample Pictures (DPReview) – EDIT

Bildschirmfoto 2015-02-10 um 06.39.31

EDIT: I made a big typo mess here, it’s the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM not the Canon 11-24mm. Apologies; this happens when you are in a hurry.

DPReview posted a set of sample pics shot with Sigma’s 24mm f/1.4 lens.

Yesterday Signa announced the price of the new Sigma 24mm f/1.4 lens ($849). Pre-orders at BHphoto and Adorama. Once again Sigma made an interesting lens at an affordable price. I am pretty sure this lens will perform on the same level as the [shoplink 20221]Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art[/shoplink], [shoplink 8892]Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art[/shoplink], and the awesome [shoplink 14551]Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM[/shoplink] lenses.
