The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art lens expands upon the innovations delivered with the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art lens, which garnered mass acclaim as the world’s first F1.8 zoom lens in the photography and videography industries. This 17-40mm serves as the next-generation evolution and surpasses the 18-35mm with vastly superior optical performance along with a wider focal length of 17-40mm, all while weighing over 30% less. This makes the new Sigma 17-40mm f/1.8 an extremely versatile large aperture standard zoom lens.
The 17-40mm features fast and quiet autofocus driven by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), internal zoom and minimal focus breathing. With these advancements Sigma delivered a lens offering outstanding performance for both stills photography and video production. The Sigma 17-40mm f1.8 DC Art Lens is not a mere evolution, but a true revolution in the realm of constant aperture zoom lenses.
