Description
Sigma 40mm
Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art for Nikon F – DSLR Lens. Designed within the rigorous tolerances of a cine lens, the Nikon F-mount Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a wide normal-length lens characterized by a bright design and sophisticated optical layout. The fast f1.4 maximum aperture helps to achieve shallow depth of field and selective focus effects, and also suits working in difficult lighting conditions.
The optical design incorporates a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements, which help to improve sharpness and clarity by controlling both spherical and chromatic aberrations. A Super Multi-Layer Coating is also featured, and helps to minimize flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
Complementing the imaging capabilities, the lens sports a Hyper Sonic Motor to produce quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. The physical design features a brass bayonet mount, which offers rigidity and mounting precision along with a seal to guard against dust and moisture. Additionally, a rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
- As part of the Art line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.
- Short-normal prime is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, however is also suitable for DX models where it provides a 60mm equivalent focal length.
- Impressively bright f1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques. Three F Low Dispersion (FLD) and three Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements are featured in the optical design, and help to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
- One aspherical element is used to help limit distortion and spherical aberrations and also contributes to greater overall sharpness and accurate rendering.
- A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Sigma 40mm
Sigma has packed advanced technology into the Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens, to meet all the stringent requirements of a high-end cine lenses being the first lens developed to live up to the sought-after angle of view and performance standard for a cine lens.
Photographers and Videographers will really appreciate its design and quality that this 40mm f1.4 Art Lens can produce, thanks to its superior optical performance – it features a water-and oil-repellent coating on the front lens element, as well as a splash-proof construction making it perfect to perform under all weather conditions; a high-speed Hyper Sonic Motor with an updated algorithm, enabling you to capture fast moving subjects; manual override; rounded 9-blade diaphragm;
Super Multi-Layer Coating to effectively reduce flare and ghosting in order to deliver pin sharp and high contrast images and lastly, the lens utilises three FLD (F Low Dispersion) glass elements and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to effectively correct axial chromatic aberration and magnification aberration.
Beyond Art Series Performance
The 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art is Sigma’s first lens developed originally to live up to the sought-after angle of view and performance standard for a benchmark cine lens. This lens effectively arranges three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to correct axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration.
Designed for exceptional sharpness at maximum aperture, this Art Prime lens excels at available light photography. With less than 1% distortion and near non-existent sagittal coma flare, this lens demonstrates consistent optical results featuring both 8K-compatible resolution and a beautiful bokeh. It is available for Sigma, Nikon, Canon and Sony E mount camera systems.

Sigma 40mm
The Sigma 40mm f1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is a complete innovative lens that meets all the stringent requirements of high-end cine lenses, and also produces astonishing image quality throughout its focal range.
The superior optical performance of this Sigma 40mm f1.4 lens makes it possible so that the lens can accommodate 50 million pixels and above in full-frame still cameras, as well high-resolution requirements of leading edge 8K video technology.
The 40mm lens from Sigma is the very first Art lens developed originally to live up to the sought-after angle of view and performance standard for a cine lens.
With a maximum aperture of f/1.4, the 40mm lens performs exceptionally well in low light conditions, and still delivers that high-quality that every photographer seeks.
The wide-angle 40mm lens sports a powerful HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), that offers a high-speed Autofocus with an updated algorithm allowing you to capture rapid photography movement.
The lens construction combines three FLD (F Low Dispersion) glass elements and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element to deliver outstanding correction of axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration which leads to a sharper image when using the maximum aperture and beautiful bokeh.
Shoot with confidence in all weather conditions, as the Sigma 40mm lens incorporates a water- and oil-repellent coating to the forefront and rear lenses allowing you to wipe water away easily and also prevents oil and fat marks from sticking to the surface.
The beauty of this lens is that features a dust-proof and splash-proof construction with a special sealing that’s been applied to the manual focus ring, zoom ring, mount connection and the cover connection making it the ideal lens to perform in all types of weather.
A Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to the lens to effectively reduce flare and ghosting, being a game changer to photographers as it produces a much sharper image and high contrast image, even in backlit conditions.
The lens incorporates a rounded 9-blade diaphragm that creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas, known as Bokeh.
