Crop sensor cameras may make it easier to get telephoto reach – but the opposite is also true, and finding an ultra-wide lens can be a challenge for crop sensor cameras. Sigma, however, has just released what it is calling the widest yet lens with a bright f/1.4 aperture. The Sigma f/1.4 DC Contemporary is a new ultra-wide, ultra-bright lens designed for crop sensor cameras.
The Sigma 12mm f/1.4 Contemporary, which is slated for a September arrival for Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Canon RF mounts, is designed for APS-C cameras. That makes the lens the equivalent of roughly an 18mm on a full-frame camera. Sigma says the lens is the first to mix a 12mm focal length with a bright f/1.4 aperture.
