Optical character
Sigma calls this the first F1.4 diagonal fisheye for full-frame. It covers 180° corner to corner while filling the whole rectangular frame, and it was designed for star fields and night landscapes where the fisheye curve is part of the picture. Its 21 elements in 15 groups include four FLD, three SLD and two aspherical elements, and sagittal coma flare is corrected so point lights stay tight across the frame.
It shares the astro feature set of Sigma's F1.4 wide primes: an MFL switch that locks the focus ring, a lens-heater retainer, a rear sheet-filter holder, a locking cover cap with two filter slots, and a detachable Arca-Swiss-compatible tripod socket. There is also an HLA linear AF motor, an AFL button, an aperture ring with lock and click switches, and dust and splash sealing. The L-Mount version is 157.9mm long and weighs 1,360g. The fixed petal hood rules out screw-in filters.
Reviewer consensus
Reviewers found it sharp from the centre to the extreme corners even at wide apertures, which is unusual for a fisheye, with low coma that keeps stars well shaped and very little colour fringing. Flare and ghosting are well suppressed when shooting into the light. Autofocus with the HLA motor is fast and near silent, and the handling extras (focus lock, aperture-ring lock, de-click switch, heater lip) are praised as well judged for astro and video work.
The objections are size, weight and price. At 1.36kg and about $2,000 it is far bigger and dearer than conventional fisheyes, and the fixed hood means filters go in a rear slot. Both reviews still conclude that the f/1.4 speed and image quality justify it for night, astro and low-light shooting.
