So, the lens has only arrived yesterday but I've tinkered with it. I've only taken a few pictures with this lens but the image quality is seriously good. Silent AF and ability to MF. Some distortion on close up (field curvature distortion) but nothing that Photoshop can't fix. Very sturdy built piece of kit with a large bulbous lens with petal shaped hood. It is very heavy and even more so with the Canon 5D Mark III attached (may need a camera vest to support if needing to use it quickly). Works beautifully with my Canon. What sets this apart from Samyang lens is the weather sealant. I am visiting Tromso soon to try and capture NL and try out Astrophotography. Will update and post images once I'mback.
Miss C AAn other great lens of the Sigma Art series.
Krisztian S.Great Sigma construction with good size controls for zoom and focus.The petal hood protects the bulbous front lens.Image quality...Great even exceptional. Very minimal distortion for such a wide lens, sharp images and good colour rendition. The Canon EF equivalent, I would say, has a slightly better image quality but minor unless zooming into the image, based on cost, Image quality and my usage I opted for the Sigma and I have not been disappointed.I want to get into a bit of astrophotography and this lens is going to be great.In Short: Great Prime lens, great image quality, minimal distortion, acceptable price.

Colours and sharpness are excellent, but very prone to lens flare, even if the sun or some other light source are way out of the shot. I was considering returning it, but decided I can live with the flare.
WoodyExtremely pleased with the image quality and is excellent value for money compared with the Canon EF equivalent. Calibrated the lens with my 5D Mkiv using FoCal where there was a 99.5% consistency of focus and front/back focus setting of 0.

The Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art is the ideal ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for the most demanding photographers. With a constant F2.8 aperture throughout the entire zoom range, it’s designed for 50-megapixel plus cameras for outstanding high-resolution image quality. An updated Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides fast and accurate autofocus. 3 FLD and 3 SLD glass elements; 3 aspherical lens elements; and 1 large-diameter aspherical element minimize chromatic aberration resulting in extremely sharp images. Outdoor shooters will appreciate the dust- and splash-proof construction with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection. With the growing popularity in multi-camera VR videography, a new Front Conversion Service is available to convert to a round hood for these specialized applications. Like each and every Global Vision Lens, the Sigma 14-24mm 2.8 DG HSM Art is handcrafted at our single factory in Aizu, Japan and undergoes individual evaluation before leaving Sigma’s facility.
