Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens

Cinema-Grade Sharpness for Every Shot

The Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens is not just another prime lens—it’s a lens crafted to deliver cinema-quality sharpness and color accuracy for both photographers and videographers. Designed with professional content creators in mind, this lens bridges the gap between still photography and motion picture quality, making it one of the most versatile and highly acclaimed Art series primes available in the USA.

Exceptional Image Quality for Professionals

The Sigma 40mm f/1.4 Art is constructed with 16 elements in 12 groups, including three FLD, three SLD, and one aspherical element. This advanced optical design drastically reduces chromatic aberration, ghosting, and distortion, ensuring that your images are consistently sharp, vibrant, and true-to-life.

With its edge-to-edge sharpness, this lens is trusted by professionals who demand uncompromising quality in portraits, landscapes, and commercial shoots.

Wide f/1.4 Aperture for Creative Control

The f/1.4 maximum aperture makes the Sigma 40mm Art a low-light powerhouse. Whether you’re shooting indoor weddings, capturing night scenes, or filming cinematic sequences, the lens allows faster shutter speeds and excellent background separation.

The wide aperture also produces a smooth, creamy bokeh, letting photographers isolate their subjects while creating artistic depth.

Perfect Focal Length – A Balance Between 35mm and 50mm

Many photographers often debate between a 35mm or 50mm prime. The 40mm focal length provides the perfect middle ground—wide enough for environmental portraits and lifestyle photography, yet intimate enough for natural-looking headshots. This makes it an ideal lens for portraits, weddings, street photography, and filmmaking.

Professional Build and Design

Part of Sigma’s acclaimed Art series, the 40mm f/1.4 lens is built for professionals. Featuring Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, weather-sealed construction, and a robust metal mount, it offers reliability in demanding environments.

While slightly heavier than standard primes, the solid, cinema-grade build ensures durability and optical consistency that working professionals appreciate.

Autofocus Performance with Full-Time Manual Override

Equipped with Sigma’s Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), the lens delivers fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus—essential for both stills and video. Full-time manual override allows fine-tuning focus without switching modes, giving photographers precise control during critical shoots.
