The 18-50mm f/2.8-4.5 DC OS HSM is a wide-angle zoom lens produced by Sigma Corporation. The lens has four different variates, fitting on the Canon EF mount, Pentax K mount, Minolta A-mount, and the Nikon F-mount. It features internal focusing and internal zooming, as well as two SLD elements and three aspherical lenses. [1] [2]
In photography and cinematography, a wide-angle lens refers to a lens whose focal length is substantially smaller than the focal length of a normal lens for a given film plane. This type of lens allows more of the scene to be included in the photograph, which is useful in architectural, interior and landscape photography where the photographer may not be able to move farther from the scene to photograph it.
A zoom lens is a mechanical assembly of lens elements for which the focal length can be varied, as opposed to a fixed focal length (FFL) lens.
Sigma Corporation is a Japanese company, manufacturing cameras, lenses, flashes and other photographic accessories. All Sigma products are produced in the company's own Aizu factory in Bandai, Fukushima, Japan. Although Sigma produces several camera models, the company is best known for producing high-quality lenses and other accessories that are compatible with the cameras produced by other companies.
The Pentax K-mount, sometimes referred to as the "PK-mount", is a bayonet lens mount standard for mounting interchangeable photographic lenses to 35 mm single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. It was created by Pentax in 1975, and has since been used by all Pentax 35 mm and digital SLRs and also the MILC Pentax K-01. A number of other manufacturers have also produced many K-mount lenses and K-mount cameras.
The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM is a wide-aperture photographic lens made by the Sigma Corporation, equipped with Hyper Sonic Motor. The lens was produced in Canon EF mount, Four Thirds System, Nikon F-mount, Pentax K mount, the SA mount, and the Sony/Minolta AF Mount varieties, all of the same optical formula. It shipped with a removable petal-type lens hood. The lens assumes a crop factor of roughly 1.5, and therefore is not usable with on full-frame or 135 film cameras.
The 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM is an enthusiast-level, ultra wide-angle rectilinear zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation specifically for use with small format digital SLRs.
The Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is a normal prime lens made by the Sigma Corporation.
The Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO Macro EX DG HSM is a telephoto macro prime lenses made by the Sigma Corporation.
The Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC Macro is a wide to normal angle, zoom lens made by the Sigma Corporation.
The Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM is a professional-level wide-angle zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation. It was once the widest rectilinear lens available for full-frame 35mm SLR cameras, providing a field of view of 122 degrees. It is still the widest full-frame rectilinear lens available for Nikon as of 2016. This distinction has been taken over by the Irix 11mm f/4 lens released in 2017. However, the Sigma lens still remain the widest autofocus full-frame zoom lens available for Nikon camera as the Irix lens is a manual focus prime lens. Other lenses available with focal lengths of 12mm or less are either incompatible with full-frame cameras or are intentionally distorted. The Sigma 12-24 has low distortion even compared to less wide zooms like the Canon EF 16-35mm lens.
The Sigma 4.5mm f/2.8 EX DC circular fisheye is a photographic lens manufactured by Sigma Corporation. It is a circular fisheye lens, designed to project a 180-degree field of view in all directions onto a circular image. It is the first such lens to provide the complete circular fisheye effect on crop factor digital SLR cameras, which do not have a full 36x24mm sensor. This lens is available in Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Pentax and Sony mounts.
The Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC fisheye is a photographic lens manufactured by Sigma Corporation. It is a diagonal fisheye lens. Unlike most fisheye lenses, this lens is designed for digital SLR cameras that do not have a full 36x24mm sensor. This results in a much greater fisheye effect than is possible when a full-frame fisheye lens is used with a smaller sensor.
The Sigma APO 150-500mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens is a super-telephoto lens produced by Sigma Corporation. It contains three SLD glass elements to provide correction for chromatic aberration. It is aimed toward advanced consumer level photographers, and is available in Nikon, Canon, Pentax and Sigma camera mounts.
The Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3 EX DG HSM is a super-telephoto zoom lens produced by Sigma Corporation. It is commonly known as the "Bigma" because of its long and heavy body. It contains four SLD glass elements to provide correction for chromatic aberration. It is aimed toward advanced consumers.
The Sigma 8–16mm lens is an enthusiast-level, ultra wide-angle rectilinear zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation specifically for use with APS-C small format digital SLRs. It is the first ultrawide rectilinear zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 8 mm, designed specifically for APS-C size image sensors. The lens was introduced at the February 2010 Photo Marketing Association International Convention and Trade Show. At its release it was the widest viewing angle focal length available commercially for APS-C cameras. It is part of Sigma's DC line of lenses, meaning it was designed to have an image circle tailored to work with APS-C format cameras. The lens has a constant length regardless of optical zoom and focus with inner lens tube elements responding to these parameters. The lens has hypersonic zoom autofocus.
The Sigma's APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM was announced in 2010, is an EX Lens meaning its in Sigma's high-end line up of lenses Up to 4-stops of correction OS help reduce blurring associated with hand held motion at low shutter speeds. Features a HSM AF motor for silent auto-focus and a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the zoom range.
The Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art is a wide angle prime lens made by the Sigma Corporation. The lens was announced at the 2012 photokina trade fair.
The Sigma 300–800mm lens is a professional-level supertelephoto zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation for use with digital SLRs.
The Pentax K-3 II is a flagship APS-C DSLR camera announced by Ricoh on April 22, 2015.
The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art lens is a fast, constant-aperture wide standard zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation. It was announced April 18, 2013.
The Leica L-Mount is a bayonet mount developed by Leica Camera AG for interchangeable-lens autofocus digital cameras.
