Sigma 24mm f/3.5 DG DN Contemporary Lens for L-Mount

Designed for portability and versatility, the Sigma 24mm f/3.5 DG DN Contemporary Lens is an ultra-wide prime that excels in various shooting scenarios. Its compact and slim design makes it an excellent choice for walkaround shooting, particularly for activities like hiking or travel landscapes, as well as street and reportage applications. Setting itself apart from other wide-angle lenses, it boasts a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and a minimal focusing distance of 4.25 inches, allowing for compelling close-up photography.

The optical design of this lens incorporates both aspherical and low dispersion glass elements, effectively suppressing a range of aberrations and distortions to achieve precise and controlled image rendering. Furthermore, a Super Multi-Layer Coating is employed to minimize ghosting and flare, enhancing colour fidelity and contrast for superior image quality. Whether capturing expansive landscapes or detailed close-ups, this lens stands out as a versatile and highly portable tool for photographers on the go.

In regard to focusing, this lens uses a stepping motor for quick and quiet AF performance that suits both photo and video applications. As an I Series lens, too, this lens features a manual aperture ring and all-metal barrel constriction for enhanced tactility. Additionally, there is a rounded seven-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh quality and the lens housing is also weather-sealed to suit working in inclement conditions.

• As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance, and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
• I Series lens emphasizes a sleek and stylish physical design that is built to the same operational standards of Sigma's Cine lenses, including a mechanical aperture ring, knurled metal components, and various switches and tactile controls for intuitive operation.
• Ultra-wide-angle 24mm lens is designed for full-frame L-Mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 36mm equivalent focal length.
• Modest f/3.5 maximum aperture helps to maintain an especially compact and lightweight physical profile.
• One Special Low Dispersion (SLD) element markedly reduces chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• Three aspherical elements help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for a high degree of sharpness and accurate rendering.
• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and colour-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.
• Maximum magnification of 1:2 pairs with a 4.25" minimum focusing distance for unique close-up shooting capabilities.
• Integrated stepping motor realizes smooth and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an internal focusing design to promote greater responsiveness.
• Manual aperture ring includes an 'A' position for camera-based aperture selection.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity and rubber sealing is incorporated in the mount's design to render it dust- and splash-resistant.
• Included LCF55-01M magnetic lens cap attaches directly to the front of the lens and is compatible with the optional CH-11 Lens Cap Holder.
• This lens is compatible with the optional Sigma UD-11 USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
