Sigma UK presented its newest lens the 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC ultra wide angle lens which will fit the Canon, Nikon and of course, Sigma mounts. The lens is designed for the APS-C cameras and allows for a 121 degree wide angle view.
Retail price for the Sigma lens is pegged at £799.99. This new lens will be available at the end of April in Sigma, Canon and Nikon fit. Sony and Pentax will follow shortly.
According to Sigma’s press statement, the Ultra Wide Zoom is said to be the first ultra wide zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 8mm, designed specifically for APS-C size image sensors. This lens has an equivalent angle of view of a 12-24mm lens when used on digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor. The wide-angle of view from 121.2 degrees* produces striking images with exaggerated perspective, enabling photographers to emphasize the subject.
The lens is said to have a hyper sonic motor which enables it to be noiseless and high speed. It has a minimum focusing distance of 24cm throughout the entire zoom range which allows photographers to emphasise the subject by creating exaggerated perspectives.
This lens has a compact construction with an overall length of 105.7mm and a maximum diameter of 75mm.
