The Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art (E) is a premium ultra-wide lens, available through Unicorn Films for shooters who require sharp, expansive views and expressive imaging even after dark. Its large f1.4 maximum aperture delivers outstanding control in low light and enables powerful subject separation for creative shots, weddings, astro, interior architecture, or events. The lens features a 15-element, 11-group construction with three “F” Low Dispersion (FLD), four Special Low Dispersion (SLD), and two aspherical elements. This combination minimizes distortion, sagittal coma flare, and chromatic aberration, resulting in consistently sharp, high-contrast images with natural color even at the widest stops.
The integrated Hypersonic Motor (HSM) autofocus is accurate, quiet, and suitable for both fast action and discreet documentary video work. A rounded 9-blade diaphragm ensures pleasing, smooth bokeh at wide aperture, while a Super Multi-Layer Coating keeps ghosting and flare to a minimum in strong, direct light. The lens barrel is engineered from Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) and brass, providing durability and reliability for consistent rental use and varied environments.
The lens mounts natively on Sony E-mount cameras for full autofocus, exposure, and EXIF functionality. Close focusing at just 25cm allows dramatic foreground inclusion. Users benefit from a rugged, weather-resistant build, a precision focus ring for full-time manual override, and a bayonet-mount lens hood with rubber connection that protects the prominent front element. Every rental from Unicorn Films includes lens caps and a padded case, supporting safe transport and rapid setup for field or studio work.

The lens positions aspherical elements near the rear to correct sagittal coma flare, producing precise star points and preventing streaking of bright lights at frame edges.
It delivers fast, reliable, and nearly silent autofocus with instant manual override, so users can track moving subjects or refocus discreetly during live video or quiet event shoots.
It uses a durable brass bayonet, Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) materials, and a robust barrel with rubber-sealed hood connection, so the lens maintains function and longevity in variable temperatures and weather.
You can place the lens very near foreground subjects or textures, exaggerate perspective, and create immersive, story-rich frames combining close detail and wide context in a single shot.
Wide 84-degree coverage allows you to creatively frame environmental portraits or groups, using shallow depth at f1.4 to isolate subjects against sweeping backgrounds, expanding beyond traditional portrait focal lengths.
