Narita, Chiba is well known as Japan’s biggest international airport but is also a great place of history and culture. We’ll take you on a short trip to these places in this video. Have fun!

■Lens review
This time, we borrowed two of the new product, “SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art,” released on August 26th in advance and used them for shooting all the footage & photos in this video.
For me, there are three great things about this product.

(1) Both performance and compactness are achieved at a high level
F1.4 prime lenses for full-frame make you think of “the performance is excellent, but it is heavy and big,” but this lens weighs 520g, so it’s relatively light and compact.
In addition, it has beautiful bokeh, sharp & high resolution because of “Art” (a series that prioritizes the sophisticated optical performance) ensures the highest level of performance.

(2) The best focal length for travel videos: 24mm
24mm is suitable for capturing information about the surrounding environment while focusing on the subject and is one of the best focal lengths, especially for travel videos and documentaries.
Also, F1.4 can be used in all kinds of scenes, such as portraits, starry and night views, and indoors.
(That’s why I always take a 24mm prime lens with me on trips.)

(3) Great AF performance for video shooting
I was especially pleased with the “autofocus performance.”
I used it in all kinds of scenes, such as landscapes, portraits, and selfies, and I was surprised by its high AF performance (fast, accurate, and fixed).
*More than 80% of the video was shot with AF

I had been using the old model “SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art” for nearly three years, but this new product has overcome all the weaknesses such as the size of the lens body, AF performance, and AF operating noise.
I want many people to use the pinnacle 24mm prime lens!
