Push the boundaries of space with the Sigma 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM Art. Built for the era of ultra-high-resolution sensors, this lens features an ambitious optical design that includes an 80mm large-diameter molded glass aspherical element—the largest in its class. This, combined with FLD (F Low Dispersion) glass, ensures surgical sharpness from the center to the extreme edges while virtually eliminating chromatic aberration and coma flare. The lens is driven by a newly designed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), offering 1.3x the torque of its predecessor for near-instant and silent autofocus. Despite its massive glass elements, it is built with Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material, ensuring precision and durability across a wide range of temperatures. For architectural work, its world-class distortion control ensures that straight lines stay straight, even at the 12mm wide end. The lens is also designed with a dust- and splash-proof mount and a water/oil-repellent coating on the front and rear elements, making it a rugged choice for demanding professional environments.
