Sigma’s modern design is based around building affordable lenses with high optical quality, with size taking a lower priority to the former two points. One of the lenses that most obviously embodies this is the 40mm f/1.4 Art. This great video review takes a look at this humongous but impressive lens.
Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this excellent video review takes a look at the Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art lens. Personally, I absolutely love my 105mm f/1.4 Art. It is a massive lens, but the image quality I get from it is astounding, and it was quite affordable compared to similar lenses, and because of that, I am more than willing to hoist it around. The 40mm follows in the those same footsteps and offers a unique focal length that some photographers and videographers find intriguing. Altogether, if you do not mind the extra size and weight, it looks like a great option. Check out the video above for the first half of Abbott’s thoughts.

Do you own the 40mm f/1.4 Art? Would you shoot with such a large lens if you were guaranteed such high image quality?
