Fast f/1.4 Aperture Wide Angle. The Sigma 28mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art for Nikon’s fast f/1.4 aperture enables great low-light performance, wide-angle images, and shallow depth of field.

High-Quality Optics. As a part of Sigma’s Art lens line, this lens goes through Sigma’s rigorous A1 testing to ensure high image quality.

You’re probably looking at this lens because you read my blurb on the 24mm f1.4, aren’t you? You’ve arrived at your destination. This lens is breathtakingly sharp and for a Sigma Art lens, actually rather small. By small I mean not much bigger than a non-Sigma lens. 28mm may seem an odd focal length for some, but at the time I’m writing this the Sigma 28mm is clearly sharper than any 24mm, 28mm, or 35mm lens except arguably the Zeiss Otus 28mm. It is sharper than the Otus, but Otusophiles will argue about it.
