The Sigma 12mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary is an ultra-wide-angle prime lens that redefines what's possible for APS-C photographers and filmmakers. Setting a new standard, it is the world's first F1.4 lens to reach an extraordinary 12mm focal length, offering an expansive perspective that opens up entirely new creative possibilities. With a 35mm equivalent of 18mm, it delivers a dynamic, immersive field of view, perfectly suited to vast landscapes, sweeping cityscapes, or the endless beauty of a star-filled night sky.

What makes this lens truly remarkable is its ability to pair this immense angle of view with the brightness and depth of a large F1.4 aperture. Whether you're capturing night-time streets illuminated by subtle city lights, documenting the delicate detail of a starry sky, or filming in low-light interiors, the Sigma 12mm F1.4 combines outstanding light-gathering power with exceptional clarity. Its wide aperture not only enhances low-light shooting but also allows creative control over depth of field, giving you the freedom to isolate subjects against dramatic backgrounds, even at such a broad focal length.

Beneath its sleek exterior lies Sigma's latest optical design, engineered to deliver uncompromising image quality from the centre of the frame to the very edges. The inclusion of three double-sided aspherical elements and two SLD glass elements ensures outstanding resolution and minimises distortions typically associated with ultra-wide lenses. Sagittal coma flare, so often the downfall of astrophotography, is thoroughly corrected, allowing stars to be rendered as crisp points of light across the entire image. Whether you're working with the rich colours of a sunset or the subtle tones of a night sky, the lens produces images of striking sharpness and contrast.

Despite its ambitious optical performance, the Sigma 12mm F1.4 DC | Contemporary is remarkably compact and lightweight. Measuring just 69.4mm in length and weighing only 225g, it maintains a level of portability that makes it a natural partner for APS-C cameras. Its balance of power and portability means you can carry it effortlessly on your travels, while its compatibility with shooting grips and gimbals makes it just as appealing for video creators who demand freedom of movement.

Autofocus is powered by a responsive stepping motor, delivering smooth, silent, and precise performance. Whether you're shooting stills of fast-moving subjects or recording video that demands fluid focus transitions, the lens reacts with speed and accuracy. Focus breathing has been carefully minimised too, ensuring that video recordings remain consistent and cinematic, without distracting changes in angle of view when shifting focus.

For added flexibility, the lens features an aperture control ring, offering tactile and intuitive adjustment directly on the lens itself. In the Canon RF Mount version, this becomes a customisable control ring, giving photographers and filmmakers the ability to assign preferred functions to suit their shooting style.

Sigma has also paid careful attention to practical usability in challenging environments. Advanced simulation technology has been employed to suppress flare and ghosting, preserving high contrast and vibrant colour even in strong backlighting. Meanwhile, the lens is built with a dust- and splash-resistant structure, and the front element is treated with a water- and oil-repellent coating, giving you the confidence to shoot in unpredictable outdoor conditions.
