SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary L-mount

Create expressive images with complete freedom with the world's smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle zoom for APS-C* sensor cameras.
The SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is the smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C* sensor cameras, covering an effective focal range of 15-27mm (Full Frame equivalent). With ultra-sharp optical quality, a bright F2.8 aperture and a new corolla lens hood, photographers can create expressive images anywhere, anytime. The lens features a unique aspherical element that reduces the overall lens size and improves image quality.

The minimum focusing distance of 11.6 cm allows for unique compositions, with wide backgrounds and pleasing bokeh. With a weight of just 260g*, a fast autofocus motor and minimal framing change as focus changes, the lens can be easily mounted on a motorized gimbal to create impressive video content for social networks and professional projects. The lens is available for L-Mount, Sony E-Mount and FUJIFILM X Mount systems.

Large aperture ultra-wide-angle zoom with expressive photographic possibilities
With a unique optical construction designed to correct lens aberrations, the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary produces razor-sharp images across the entire image area.

Aspherical lens, special low dispersion glass
The use of an aspherical lens with high eccentricity and refractive index as the first element of the lens made it possible to construct a lens with a reduced number of elements. Used with multiple aspherical elements and special low dispersion glass, the lens can generate high-resolution images while remaining compact and lightweight.

Minimum focusing distance 11.6 cm, maximum reproduction ratio 1:4
Create expressive close-up images with the minimum focusing distance of 11.6 cm at 10 mm. With a reproduction ratio of 1:4, the lens captures unique portraits, still lifes and much more.

Extremely compact and lightweight
The SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is the world's smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for APS-C* cameras, with a length of 62.0 mm, maximum diameter of 72.2 mm and weight of 260 g*. The lens can be easily carried or attached to an APS-C sensor mirrorless camera and gimbal to create an ultra-portable video setup.

New corolla snap-on sun visor
A new “push on” corolla lens hood is supplied with the lens. Unlike conventional bayonet lens hoods which are attached by a rotating movement, this snap-in lens hood attaches to the lens using a system of springs and levers. The technology of this new configuration makes it possible to reduce the size and thickness of the lens hood in order to adapt it to the compact size of the lens.

Compact, lightweight and high-performance F2.8 constant aperture zoom lens series
Combined with SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, it offers a total and uninterrupted focal range of 15-75mm (Full Frame equivalent) with a constant aperture of F2.8. The combined weight of the two lenses is only 550g.

A Growing Lens Lineup for APS-C Mirrorless Cameras
In addition to the SIGMA 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, the range of lenses for mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensor includes the fixed focal lengths 16mm, 23mm, 30mm and 56mm, all with a brightness of F1.4. This wide selection of lenses can be used for a wide variety of photographic applications.

Frame with dust and splash resistant structure
The lens mount has a rubber seal that protects it from dust and water drops.

Ideal for landscapes, travel, video and online content creation
With its ultra-wide focal length, its compactness and its extremely efficient optical system, the SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary is the ideal on-the-go solution for landscape, travel, interior and street photography. It also offers impressive video capabilities thanks to its F2.8 aperture, which allows it to shoot in low-light environments and create a shallow depth of field. The ultra-wide viewing angle is ideal for handheld vlogging that requires capturing both the subject and their surroundings.

Designed to minimize “focus breathing” or changing framing as focus changes
The lens was designed to eliminate focus breathing. Framing shift due to focus shift is minimized, creating natural-looking focus shift when recording video.

Support for various camera functions
The lens is compatible with the electronic image stabilization function, aberration correction function, DMF mode and AF+MF of cameras from different manufacturers. The advantage of this ultra-wide-angle lens is that it offers a generous viewing angle even when the electronic image stabilization function crops the image.

*Function only available on compatible devices. Available corrections or autocorrect functionality may vary depending on the device model.

Step-by-step engine
A fast, quiet stepping motor is used to provide precise autofocus when taking photos and videos. It is fully compatible with in-camera AF tracking modes.
