Revolutionary Ultra-Wide F1.4 Design
At just 12mm (equivalent to 18mm on full-frame), this lens captures an incredibly wide 99.6° field of view while maintaining the bright F1.4 aperture that enables exceptional low-light performance. Whether you’re shooting the Milky Way, cityscapes at twilight, or creating dramatic environmental portraits, the F1.4 aperture provides the light-gathering power you need when others can’t shoot at all.
Advanced Optical Engineering for Exceptional Image Quality
Sigma’s engineers have achieved remarkable optical performance using 14 elements in 12 groups, including 3 aspherical elements and 2 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements. This sophisticated design delivers outstanding sharpness from center to edge, even wide open at F1.4, while effectively controlling distortion and chromatic aberration that typically plague ultra-wide lenses.
Incredibly Compact and Lightweight Design
Despite its revolutionary ultra-wide F1.4 design, this lens weighs just 225g and measures only 69.4mm in length (Sony E-mount). This exceptional portability maximizes the mobility advantages of APS-C mirrorless systems, making it perfect for travel, hiking, and all-day shooting sessions. It’s also fully compatible with gimbals and shooting grips for video work.
Video-Optimized Performance with Aperture Ring
Designed with both stills and video in mind, the lens features a stepping motor for smooth, silent autofocus during video recording. Focus breathing is minimized to ensure professional-looking focus pulls, while the dedicated aperture ring provides tactile control for smooth exposure changes during filming.
Professional Build Quality for Any Environment
Built to Contemporary line standards, the lens features dust and splash-resistant construction with a water and oil-repellent coating on the front element. This protection ensures reliable performance in challenging outdoor conditions, from coastal landscapes to mountain environments.
