AF LENSES FOR CANON, MINOLTA, NIKON, PENTAX & SIGMA

AF Lenses for Canon, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax and Sigma

As the world’s largest independent manufacturer of zoom and fixed focal length lenses, Sigma offers a highly innovative and creative selection of lenses ranging from 8mm to 800mm and virtually everything in between. The lenses offer a high level of performance, easy handling and advanced optical precision to create profound and emotional images. Sigma lenses are built with corresponding mounts to make them

fully compatible with the SA-7 and SA-9QD as well as digital cameras from Canon, Minolta, Nikon and Pentax.

In addition, Sigma offers a number of lenses designed specifically for digital SLR cameras, which can also be used with 35mm SLRs.

They are mostly wide-angle and wide zoom type lenses with large apertures (e.g. 20mm f/1.8, 24mm f/1.8, 28mm f/1.8, 24-70mm f/2.8, 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5), and feature superior light distribution, so that there is minimal light fall-off or vignetting, even when used at maximum aperture.

These lenses are designated DG type, and are part of Sigma’s EX series of lenses. Remember that the digital imaging device is generally much smaller than a 35mm negative, so the lens will have a longer “effective” focal length. The conversion factor is generally about 1.5x, so a 14mm lens effectively becomes about 21mm when used on these digital cameras. As a result, there are few choices available for wideangle lenses, or even fast “normal” lenses, for these digital cameras. The DG lenses help fill this void.
