Die Marke Zeiss steht bei Objektiven ja schon seit jeher für Prestige und Qualität. Mein 50 mm f/1.4 Planar zaubert den meisten Fotografen sofort ein neidisches Lächeln auf das Gesicht.

We were recently lucky enough to visit Sigma’s factory in Aizu, Japan, where Sigma allowed us to shoot with a pre-production sample of the recently-announced 24mm F1.4 DG HSM Art lens. The wintry landscape of the Fukushima prefecture was a nice contrast to the CP+ convention center where we last gathered some samples with this lens, and our recent samples are more representative of lens performance on a native mount body (Canon 6D).
