Ultra-wide-angle and bright f1.4 aperture
The Sigma 12mm f1.4 DC Contemporary lens is the world’s first to achieve a 12mm focal length with a large f1.4 aperture, giving it the widest angle of view among f1.4 lenses for APS-C cameras. With an ultra-wide-angle lens of 12mm (equivalent to 18mm in 35mm format), it captures the entire scene in front of you, making it suitable for landscape or architectural photography. The wide, bright f1.4 aperture also supports low-light shooting, making it an excellent choice for nighttime street photographers. The ultra-wide-angle lens also provides a suitable angle of view for group selfies and vlogging, for more casual video or photography applications.
Impressive optical construction for sharp results
With an optical design featuring 14 elements in 12 groups, the Sigma 12mm f1.4 DC Contemporary lens offers impressive image resolution. Three double-sided aspherical lenses and two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements ensure detailed photos and videos even at the maximum f1.4 aperture. Even when shooting starry nighttime scenes that demand detailed capture, the lens is equipped to reduce Sagittal coma flare for edge-to-edge clarity.
Designed for smooth, accurate hybrid capture
The Sigma 12mm f1.4 DC Contemporary lens enables straightforward hybrid shooting, with a range of features that support high-quality stills and video capture. Thanks to a stepping motor that offers precise control, the lens supports high-speed, highly accurate autofocus, ensuring you can capture fast-moving subjects or fleeting moments with sharp clarity. Whether capturing everyday snapshots or tracking a subject while recording video, they will remain in focus.
The lens also ensures minimal focus breathing, allowing for smooth focus pulls with minimal changes in the angle of view when shifting focus during video recording. To support a cleaner look, advanced simulation technology minimises ghosting and flaring for rich, high-contrast images in any conditions. An aperture ring provides intuitive control directly on the lens, allowing for quick adjustments.
Lightweight and portable for handheld shooting
Lightweight and compact, this 12mm lens is portable, durable, and built for outdoor and handheld capture. Due to the placement of double-sided aspherical elements, the lens remains compact despite its ultra-wide angle and large maximum aperture. This ensures that even during long handheld shooting sessions, the lens does not add too much bulk to your rig, allowing you to keep shooting comfortably. The lens is also compatible with shooting grips and gimbals, making it easy to incorporate into a range of photography and video setups.
For travel and outdoor shooting, the lens features a dust- and splash-resistant structure, along with a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element. While it is not waterproof, you can safely use the lens in harsh outdoor conditions.

Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan).
