Sigma's widest ultra-wide-angle zoom

Designed for use with full-frame DSLRs, the 12-24mm is a wide-angle zoom that offers an exceptionally wide focal length for anyone needing a very wide angle-of-view. The lens is perfect for landscape photography, interiors, events and architecture, and the constant F4 aperture provides fast shutter speeds in low light.

Optically the lens is extremely impressive, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness even at 12mm, allowing photographers to capture scenes in remarkable detail, even on the highest resolution DSLR cameras. This is thanks to its advanced optical design that includes 5 FLD elements, 1 SLD element and 2 aspherical elements.

The SIGMA 12-24mm F4 lens also features a durable and weather-resistant design, making it suitable for use in a variety of shooting conditions.

The 12-24mm boasts one of the widest focal lengths on the market, and is perfect for architecture, interiors and landscapes.

WR CERAMIC PROTECTOR 82mm

With many applications in aerospace and other industries, glass ceramics is an extremely tough type of crystallized glass that serves as the foundation for Clear Glass Ceramics. While featuring the high transmittance required of optical devices, this advanced new material combines greater hardness than chemically strengthened glass and greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. These qualities make Clear Glass Ceramics the ideal material for protective lens filters.

Optical performance that meets the requirements of high-end cine lenses

This lens effectively arranges three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements and three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements to correct axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration to the limit. A sharp image is formed on the focal plane with the maximum aperture and contrast with the soft bokeh in the out of focus area highlights the solidity of a subject. With a distortion of 1% or below and a sagittal coma flare corrected to the limit, it demonstrates a consistent optical characteristic over the entire sensor. This is the ultimate large-diameter standard lens that has both 8K-compatible resolution and beautiful bokeh.

Designed to meet all shooting conditions

The water- and oil-repellent coating on the front lens element, together with the dust and splash resistant structure*, ensures excellent performance even in the most challenging shooting conditions. The high-speed AF, thanks to the HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) with an updated algorithm, captures instantaneous photography movement.

water- and oil-repellent coating
The front lens element incorporates a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.

Dust and Splash Resistant Structure*
This lens features a highly effective dust and splash resistant structure* with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection, allowing photographers to work in all types of weather.

* Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof.

High-speed AF

SIGMA CINE LENS

Inheriting the high standard and superior optical performance of SIGMA’s Art lenses

The optical design of SIGMA’s Art line is adopted and extended to “SIGMA CINE LENS” to achieve professional equipment for video production, which have been used in various filming situations. Thanks to its superior optical performance, the lenses can accommodate 50 million pixels and above in full-frame still cameras and meet the high-resolution requirements of leading edge 8K video technology. As high-end cine lenses, SIGMA offers 10 prime lenses, ranging from 14mm to 135mm, compatible with 35mm full-frame models, under FF High Speed Prime Line. SIGMA also provides one zoom lens in the FF Zoom Line, and two zoom lenses compatible with super 35 in the High Speed Zoom Line.

Compatible with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras

The version of this lens compatible with Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras contains the same optical system as for SLRs. SIGMA MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11 is not required, as the lens performs the same functions as the converter, including in-camera image stabilization and in-camera lens aberration correction. In addition, the lens is compatible with Sony’s Continuous AF, which is not addressed by MOUNT CONVERTER MC-11.

* This product is developed, manufactured and sold based on the specifications of E-mount which was disclosed by Sony Corporation under the license agreement with Sony.

Description

High-end cine lenses used by professional filmmakers are required to have a consistent characteristic over the entire sensor at a high level, because these lenses are used to film a subject moving freely on the screen or while panning or tilting the camera. This represents exactly the concept of the Art Line; “optical performance comes first”, and the high-end cine lenses need to be designed with this idea. The SIGMA 40mm F1.4 DG HSM | Art is SIGMA’s first lens developed originally to live up to the sought-after angle of view and performance standard for a cine lens. This new perspective to ensure the quality of professional equipment for visual production empowers it to breakthrough also as an interchangeable photographic lens.

Two wide-angle zooms for DSLRs

The 12-24mm and 14-24mm are SIGMA’s two widest-angle full-frame zooms for DSLRs. With exactly the same weight, AF motor and maximum aperture, and near identical build quality, length and optical designs, they are very similar lenses. The main differences are F2.8 aperture of the 14-24mm, and the wider angle-of-view of the 12-24mm.

Made in Aizu

All Sigma cameras and lenses are designed, manufactured and assembled at our sole factory at Aizu in Japan. This domestic production model is unusual in today’s industry, with most imaging companies opting to outsource to other countries to reduce costs. But SIGMA believes that keeping virtually all manufacturing, processing and assembly in Aizu is essential for creating innovative, carefully thought-out and impeccably constructed products that meet the high standards demanded by professional photographers and film-makers around the world.

Sigma chose Aizu as its main production base in the early 1970s. Situated at the base of Mount Bandai in the Fukushima Prefecture, about four hours’ drive north of Tokyo, Aizu has an
