Thursday 5th September 2024: SIGMA Launches Ultra-Wide-Angle Zoom Lens for Canon RF Mount.
Photography enthusiasts using the Canon RF Mount system now have even more options with the release of the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary lens. This compact and ultra-wide-angle zoom lens is designed specifically for APS-C cameras, making it a perfect choice for landscape, travel, and even video content creation.
The addition of this lens to the Canon RF Mount range is highly anticipated. Built with a control algorithm tailored for Canon RF lenses, it optimizes both autofocus speed and communication. This means faster and more reliable AF performance, alongside features like Servo AF and in-camera correction for aberrations (available on compatible cameras).
Outstanding Imaging with a Wide Aperture: The lens features an ultra-wide F2.8 aperture, perfect for expressive, sharp images that maintain clarity across the entire frame. The optics are designed to minimize distortion and lens aberrations, making this lens a great choice for professional-quality imagery.
World's Smallest and Lightest Ultra-Wide Zoom for APS-C: Weighing only 270g and measuring 62mm in length, the SIGMA 10-18mm is the smallest and lightest F2.8 ultra-wide zoom lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras (as of October 2023). This ultra-portable design makes it easy to carry with you wherever you go, and it's particularly convenient when paired with a gimbal for vlogging or video shoots.
Ideal for Various Types of Photography and Videography: The 10-18mm focal length, combined with its lightweight build and exceptional optics, makes this lens a versatile option for landscape, travel, street, and even interior photography. Videographers will appreciate its bright aperture and wide-angle view, perfect for capturing both the subject and the environment in hand-held shots.
Additionally, SIGMA offers a Mount Conversion Service, allowing photographers to convert the lens from other mounts to the Canon RF Mount. This flexibility ensures users can fully integrate this lens into their current gear lineup without needing to replace other equipment.
With its advanced features and compact design, the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is poised to become a go-to choice for photographers and videographers looking for high performance in a lightweight package.
