Sigma 8-16/f4-5-5.6 DC HSM Insanely Wide Angle Zoom

Extreme wide-angle lenses can be powerful imaging tools when placed in the right hands, and in the world of ultra-wide zooms, the new Sigma 8-16mm/f4.5-5.6 DC HSM ultra-wide zoom is currently as wide as it gets for APS-C format DSLRs.

Available in mounts for Nikon, Pentax, Canon, and Sony/Minolta APS-C format compact DSLRs, the new Sigma 8-16mm lens is the equivalent of a 12-24mm lens on a 35mm camera (12.8 - 25.6mm on a Canon DSLR) and features an AOV range of 114.5°-75.7° (slightly less on a Canon DSLR).

An ideal lens for shooting architecture—inside or out—landscapes and cityscapes, photojournalism and any other photo application that calls for shooting in tight quarters, the Sigma 8-16mm features 15 FLD glass elements in 11 groups (including a hybrid aspherical lens and two glass mold elements to control distortion and astigmatism), internal focusing, Super Multi-Layer coatings and HSM motors for quick and quiet focusing.

The Sigma 8-16mm zoom weighs 19.6 ounces, is compact in size (4.2" long and 2.9" wide), and focuses down to 9.4" for undoubtedly dramatic close-ups.
