Premium Optics

Sigma’s new 10-18mm f2.8 AF DC DN Contemporary Lens designed for mirrorless APS-C cameras delivers incredible results thanks to its premium construction of 13 elements in 10 groups.

Outstanding Image Quality

With this ultra-wide-angle lens, impressive photographic results are always within reach. The large angle of view of 109.7° helps capture sweeping landscapes and lends itself to travel or street photography.

Achieve stunning close-ups and creative compositions with a minimum focusing distance of 11.6 cm. Let smaller subjects fill the frame with a magnification ratio of 1:4, ideal for portraits, still life, and more.

The lens is also compatible with in-camera functions to elevate your shoots. It supports electronic image stabilisation, aberration correction, DMF, and AF+MF functions in camera bodies for smooth images and videos that are always in focus. The lens also supports AF assist, an exclusive to the Sony E-Mount. When a camera’s E.I.S. function crops your shot, it can provide an increased angle of view. These functions are limited to compatible cameras only.

Optimised for Video

The 10-18mm f2.8 AF DC DN Contemporary Lens is an excellent tool to assist videographers and content creators in producing professional-quality video. The ultra-wide angle-of-view and bright f2.8 aperture are ideal for capturing the whole scene and filming in various lighting conditions, including in low light.

With the option to switch between linear and non-linear focus ring settings with the L-Mount, the lens enables versatile control while filming. The lightweight lens can be easily attached to an APS-C camera and worked into any video setup, including with a gimbal or tripod for handheld shooting or vlogging.

Lightweight, Compact Design

You can shoot anywhere worry-free, thanks to rubber sealing on the high-precision brass bayonet mount for dust and splash resistance.
