Optical character

Most fisheyes are slow, small and cheap. This one is a full-frame diagonal fisheye at f/1.4, covering 180° corner to corner, and it was designed for star fields, aurora and night landscapes where the curved horizon is part of the picture. Four FLD and three SLD elements plus two aspherics keep point sources tight across the frame.

It shares the 14mm F1.4's astro feature set: a lens-heater retainer, MFL focus lock switch, declickable and lockable aperture ring, supplied tripod foot, rear gel-filter holder and a locking cover cap with filter slots. The fixed petal hood and bulbous front element rule out screw-in filters, and at 1360g it is very heavy for a fisheye.

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers found it sharp from f/1.4 with good corner stars, which no other fisheye for Sony E could match at the time. The HLA autofocus is quick and quiet, and the build and controls are in line with Sigma's best Art lenses.

The objections are size, weight and price. Most reviews call it a specialist tool that makes sense mainly for fast-aperture night work. For daylight fisheye shots, much smaller and cheaper f/2.8 options do the job.

Owner sentiment

Owners shooting the Milky Way, aurora and astro timelapses say the f/1.4 speed lets them use much shorter exposures than older fisheyes, and that the corners hold up well. The tripod foot and focus lock earn praise.

Complaints are mostly about carrying 1.36kg for a niche focal length, the protruding front element that needs care, and a price close to $2,000.
