The wide angle of view and short focal length of these lenses make it possible to compress distance
and emphasize perspective in striking and dynamic ways.
WIDE ZOOM DC LENSES
High-performance wide-angle zoom lenses for cameras with APS-C sensors

World’s rst of its type—ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with 8mm
minimum focal length
This is the world’s first ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with a minimum focal
length of 8mm designed especially for DSLR cameras with APS-C image sen-
sors. Its ultra-wide angle of 121.2° can create dramatic effects with exagger-
ated perspective. Four FLD glass elements and three aspherical lenses assure
superb image quality, while the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes are and
ghosting. The HSM provides fast and quiet autofocusing with full-time manual
capability.

Ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for digital cameras with bright xed
F-number
With a xed maximum aperture of F3.5 throughout the entire zoom range, this
ultra-wide-angle zoom lens lets you shoot in low light and create beautiful bo-
keh effects to isolate your subject. The maximum 109.7° angle of view makes
possible bold use of perspective in expressive shots. ELD (Extraordinary Low
Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass and aspherical lens ele-
ments help minimize optical aberrations and make possible a highly compact
lens. Sigma's Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes are and ghosting, while
the HSM ensures fast and quiet autofocusing.

World’s rst of its type—circular sheye lens for APS-C format
DSLR cameras
This lens creates a circular image that can capture entire landscapes or serve
as input for remapping to immersive panoramas. With its equisolid angle
projection, the lens also has scientific applications. The maximum aperture
of F2.8 permits relatively short exposures when the photographer is shooting
celestial objects or auroras. The minimum focusing distance is 13.5cm, and the
maximum magnication is 1:6. SLD glass provides powerful correction of aber-
ration, while the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes are and ghosting. The
HSM provides fast and quiet autofocusing with full-time manual capability.

Ideal for close shots—sheye lens for APS-C format
DSLR cameras
This sheye lens produces a diagonal angle of view of 180°* for striking images
with exaggerated perspective and distortion. The minimum focusing distance of
13.5cm/5.3in. and maximum magnication of 1:3.3 allow subjects to be as close
as 1.8cm/0.7in. from the lens's front element. The integral hood and Super Multi-
Layer Coating minimize are and ghosting and create superior image quality.
