The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8G ED and the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM is the longer of the two lenses at 135mm. The Nikon 14-24mm f2.8G ED with a length of 132mm, is 3mm shorter. On the other hand, the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8G ED has a larger diameter of 98mm compared to the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM's 96mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Nikon 14-24mm f2.8G ED weighs 970g, which means it is 180g (15%) lighter than the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM which has a weight of 1150g.
