The Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM for Sony is an ultra-wide, rectilinear zoom lens for Sony DX crop-sensor cameras. Key features include:
Ultra-Wide Angle of View. The Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM for Sony has an 8mm minimum focal length designed specifically for APS-C-size image sensors. The wide-angle of view from 121.2° produces striking, extremely wide-angle images with exaggerated perspective. It has an inner focusing system and 24-cm. minimum focusing distance throughout the entire zoom range.
Advanced Optical Design. Four “F” Low-Dispersion glass elements, which are equal in performance to fluorite glass, compensate for color aberration. One hybrid aspherical lens and two glass mold elements correct for distortion and astigmatism, while the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes lens flare and ghosting, helping to provide high color accuracy.
Fast, Smoot, and Quiet Autofocus. The lens’s Hyper Sonic Motor provides fast, smooth, and quiet operation in a wide variety of shooting situations. You can also manually override the autofocus motor at any time by rotating the focusing ring, giving you quick fine-tuning ability.
