Auto-focus system

F3.5 maximum aperture 

This lens is perfectly suited for low light conditions indoors or at dusk.

Close-up Photography

This circular fisheye lens has a minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm (5.3") and a maximum magnification of 1:4.6 making it particularly useful for close-up photography.

Excellent optical performance 

Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass offer effective compensation of color aberration.

Reduction of flare and ghosting

Sigma’s super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum color balance.

An ideal lens for scientific applications 

Due to the quantifiable angle/area relationship it produces, this lens can be used for scientific applications such as solid angle measurements of cloud distribution over the sky, or vegetation distribution of the rain forest canopy.

Gelatin Filter Holder 

A holder at the rear of the lens accepts gelatin filters.
