Sigma's 14mm F1. 4 DG Art lens is a superb option for astrophotography. In 2023, it earned Dale Baskin's Gear of the Year pick. Photo: Dale Baskin The Sigma 14mm F1. 4 DG DN Art lens has been a popular offering since its launch in 2023, so much so that it's been challenging to purchase.
In a recent statement, Sigma acknowledged it has had "significant delays in delivery times" for the ultrawide prime and said it will be changing how users purchase the lens as a result.
Sigma explained that it currently doesn't have any stock of the 14mm F1. 4 DG DN Art lens, other than what is available in stores. To address this, the company says it is switching to a "made-to-order" system. Users will be able to place orders for a limited time, and the lens will then ship at a later date.
The company says that orders will be open from September 4 through October 31. However, the lens won't ship until March 2026, so users who pick one up during the limited order period will have to wait a while to actually get the lens in their hands.

In addition to adjusting how customers order the lens, Sigma increased the price to $1839 for US customers. This is the second price increase for the lens, as it was bumped from its $1599 original MSRP to $1759 when Sigma increased its prices in the US because of tariffs. Sigma explained the new price is a result of "rising raw material costs and manufacturing and logistics. "
Finally, the Sigma said it is updating the external design of the lens, the product name and packaging to fit the company's new visual identity announced this spring. The new name (Sigma 14mm F1. 4 DG | Art) ditches the DN, which used to indicate the lens was designed for mirrorless cameras. Given that Sigma is no longer designing new lenses for DSLRs, it makes sense that it wouldn't need that designation anymore.
