Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM (Canon fit)

Sigma’s 12 – 24mm is a brilliant ultra-wide angle zoom lens that is great for architectural, landscape, and creative shots. It also produces impressive exaggerated perspective to really add impact to your pictures. With a heritage dating back more than 30 years, this compact lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for travelling. Sigma’s unique Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting that can ruin your shots and the high-speed autofocus system (HSM) ensures quiet and high-speed autofocus. As you would expect from this reputable manufacturer, this zoom has superior peripheral brightness and provides sharp and high contrast images even at the maximum apertures. The Photographermagazine said that they had never seen anything like it in their lives with that common feature of ultra wide lenses, curvature at edges being virtually non-existent and Amateur Photographer agreed, commenting that the lens had been corrected to exceptional standards. Digital Photographer found it, ‘an amazing piece of optical engineering producing truly remarkable results’ and Master Photography Magazine rated the lens as indispensable for someone that doesn’t have a lens wider than 16mm.
