Item Description
The Sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM is the only one of its kind. This is the
first ultra wide zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 8mm, designed
specifically for APS-C size image sensors. It has an equivalent angle of view of
a 12-24mm lens when used on digital camera with an APS-C size image sensor.
Sigma's new FLD glass elements, which have the performance equal to fluorite
glass, compensate for color aberration. One hybrid aspherical lens and two glass
mold elements give excellent correction for distortion and astigmatism.
An inner focusing system produces high definition images throughout the
entire zoom range and the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting
while superior peripheral brightness ensures high contrast images throughout the
entire zoom range.
HSM ensures quiet and high speed AF as well as full-time manual focus
capability. It has a minimum focusing distance of 9.4 inches throughout the
entire zoom range which allows photographers to emphasize the subject by
creating exaggerated perspectives. This lens has a compact construction with an
overall length of 4.2 inches and a maximum diameter of 2.9 inches and is perfect
for shooting landscape photography, architecture, building interiors,
photojournalism, wedding photography, group pictures and more.
Please Note Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras
with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.
