EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTIONS WITH SAM
The Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art Lens is an absolute dream. Now, if I had to pick one prime (non-zoom) lens for the rest of my life it would be the 35mm, but the 24mm is a very close second, in that, while not quite as versatile as the 35, it produces great results, and it’s a perfect lens for capturing the setting, not just the subject, which you’ll see in the example photos below. Without further ado, here’s a quick run down of why we love this lens!
Great For The Following:
Wedding photography where the size of the space you’re in is small (the getting ready portion of the day for instance)
Multi-Person or Large Group Portraits (including family formals)
Taking photos that showcase more of the setting around where you were shooting
Non-macro close-up shots (you can get fairly close to your subject with this lens)
Low light settings like wedding receptions
Street photography (it is PERFECT for street photography if that’s your jam)
Would Not Recommend For:
I wouldn’t recommend this as your only lens because with any wide angle lens, there can be some distortion if you’re trying to get more up close and personal shots
Macro shots (it’s just not a macro lens even though it has a closer focusing distance)
Overall, it’s an incredibly sharp lens at most distances (the very furthest distances are not necessarily tack sharp), that is versatile and gives a photojournalism feel to your photos by helping you showcase the setting of the images you’re taking.
Check out the images below, all taken by us on the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 Art lens, and if you’re so inclined, tell us what you love (or don’t) about the 24mm if you have one!
