Capture images from a wide-angle viewpoint using the portable and rapidly focusing 12mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary Lens by Sigma, specifically designed for APS-C format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. With an equivalent focal length of 18mm in full-frame terms, this lens captures a view that encompasses your entire scene, making it ideal for landscape, street, and indoor photography, as well as vlogging. The lens guarantees fast and dependable autofocus with reduced focus breathing, thanks to its stepping AF motor. Furthermore, the large aperture of the 12mm f/1.4 DC lens allows for the creation of background blur and enhances performance in low-light conditions. Optical Construction Three double-sided aspherical elements play a significant role in the compact design of the lens, minimizing distortion and enhancing overall image sharpness. Additionally, two specialized low dispersion (SLD) elements work to diminish color fringing and chromatic aberrations, thereby achieving improved clarity and color accuracy. The lens comprises a total of 14 elements organized into 12 groups. Ultra-Compact Design The 12mm f/1.4 DC is the lightest lens in Sigma's f/1.4 DC Contemporary prime series, making it a superb choice for handheld video and travel photography. Moreover, it boasts a length that is 20% shorter than the earlier Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN lens, enabling it to conveniently fit into most bags. Additional Highlights Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. Dust- and splash-resistant lens structure with sealing prevents water and dust from entering inside the lens, increasing durability during outdoor shooting. Water- and oil-repellent coating to the front lens element prevents droplets and fingerprints from accumulating. Aperture ring for quick, convenient settings adjustment. 62mm filter thread for wide compatibility with lens accessories.
