20mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary
Dynamism in the palm of your hand

Outstanding optical performance and superb build quality give photographers the joy of creating images - meet the new SIGMA 20mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary ultra-wide angle lens.

This new fixed focal length lens for full frame hybrids is the latest addition to the SIGMA I series. The lens combines a maximum aperture of F2, an ultra-wide angle focal length of 20mm and amazing optical performance. It has an exceptionally small footprint, weighing just 370g and measuring just 72.4mm* in length, making it a very practical and portable lens for everyday shooting. It is ideal for landscapes, wide-angle portraits, weddings and interiors, and is particularly well suited to astrophotography thanks to its well-controlled sagittal coma control. This is the fourth lens in the I series with an F2 aperture, following the 24mm, 35mm and 65mm, which together form a set of lenses well suited to L-Mount and Sony E-mount users.

You will notice that the 20mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary is almost identical in size and weight to the very compact SIGMA 24mm F2 I series. A sleek, all-metal design with a magnetic lens cap characteristic of the I series, a manual aperture ring and outstanding build quality make using this lens a very intuitive and satisfying experience, making shooting even more enjoyable. Precise and well-built, this SIGMA 20mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary captures the essence of the I series and brings a new level of experience to the user - the pleasure of owning and using a lens.

The I|"Premium Fixed Lens" series for hybrid camera users

The SIGMA I series consists of full-frame compatible lenses that offer hybrid camera users a new and better alternative, both in terms of the experience of shooting with the lens and the impressive results it achieves.

One of the main advantages of hybrid cameras is their very small footprint, and this new 24mm lens is designed to fit perfectly into these smaller systems without sacrificing performance. The combination of superb optical quality and exceptional portability, which was not previously possible with SLR systems, will bring new opportunities to this and future generations of photographers.

At the same time, SIGMA is aware that in this day and age, where the diversity of what we use to photograph, as represented by smartphones, is so great that people are looking for something more than a simple act of "taking pictures" when they choose to own a camera and lenses. SIGMA's excellence in design and production technology has been developing since its inception in 1961, and was further enhanced with the introduction of the SIGMA Global Vision range in 2012. On this basis, SIGMA has carefully considered how photographers use and enjoy their lenses, including optical design, advanced features, build quality, shooting experience and lens operation. All of these carefully considered factors have resulted in the I-Series.

New optical performance standards for the Contemporary line

The SIGMA 24mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, like the SIGMA 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary and the SIGMA 65mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, combines the highest level of optical performance even at its maximum aperture of F2 with a well-balanced body.

The lens uses two SLD glass elements and one FLD glass element to correct axial chromatic aberration, which is a particular concern for bright lenses. It also incorporates two high-precision cast glass aspherical elements, using processing technology from SIGMA's sole production facility in Aizu. This has limited the total number of optical elements and reduced the size and weight of the lens, while providing excellent correction for various aberrations.

In anticipation of the uses of wide-angle lenses, SIGMA's optical designers ensured that the resolution of the lens was extremely high and uniform from the centre to the periphery of the image. Sagittal coma glare is also well suppressed, giving the lens a high degree of rendering power that makes it ideal for night sky photography.

The AF drive system incorporates a quiet and fast stepping motor. This allows photographers to capture every detail of the spacious 24mm scene with smooth AF.

I-Series: Exceptional build quality and a small footprint.

All I-Series lenses have an all-metal construction. Precision-cut aluminium parts not only give the lens body an elegant and refined finish, but also offer superb strength, which enhances the overall quality of the product. Metallic materials are also used in the internal structures that slide with the control ring for added strength. These high-precision components, manufactured with SIGMA's advanced metalworking technology, are also used in SIGMA's range of cine lenses for film professionals. They provide a tactile and ergonomic feel that makes the lens a pleasure to use.

The ring covering the frame between the focus ring and aperture ring has a hairline treatment that is also adopted in the frame parts of Art lenses. This ring serves as a finger grip when attaching or removing the lens.
