Touted as an astrophotography lens, the Sigma FE 14mm f/1.4 DG DN Art severely disappoints, as a single aperture series easily demonstrates.
But just how lame is it? This 3-way shootout shows how incredibly disappointing it is, putting it against the Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM and Sony FE 12-24mm f/2.8 GM.
