Aberrations are well controlled, and sagittal coma flare is minimised, so point light sources like stars remain sharp and well defined across the frame, which is especially ideal for astrophotography. Coatings have also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting, helping to maintain contrast and rich colour in challenging lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact and lightweight design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy optimising the arrangement of double-sided aspherical elements, Sigma has kept the size and weight impressively low for an ultra-wide f\/1.4. The lens measures just 69.4mm long and weighs around 230g, so it’s highly portable and easy to keep in your kit for travel or outdoor shooting. It also works well on shooting grips and gimbals, giving photographers and filmmakers even more flexibility in how they can use the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmooth, precise autofocus for stills and video\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing is handled by a stepping motor that moves a lightweight focus group with speed and accuracy.
