Sigma 17-40mm f1.8 DC Sony E-mount

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art builds on the groundbreaking innovations of the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art, which was the world's first F1.8 Zoom lens to receive widespread acclaim in the photographic and video industries. Thirteen years after its debut, this next generation lens not only offers superior optical performance, but also a longer focal length of 17-40mm with a weight reduction of over 30%. This significantly increases the versatility of a standard wide aperture lens. In addition to fast and quiet autofocus through the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), the lens features an internal Zoom mechanism and minimal focus breathing, ensuring outstanding performance for both photo and video production. Sigma, the pioneer that wowed the world with the first F1.8 Zoom lens, has once again revolutionized the history of large aperture Zoom lenses with groundbreaking advancements.

Constant maximum aperture of F1.8

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art offers the convenience of a Zoom lens with a constant aperture of F1.8 over the entire Zoom range. Thanks to the large aperture, which is usually only offered by fixed focal lengths, the lens is suitable for low-light environments, such as indoor and night shots, as well as for expressive shots with great bokeh.

Excellent optical performance

The optical construction, realized by the latest design and processing technologies, including the use of high-precision aspherical lenses, achieves outstanding optical performance.
The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art achieves high resolution even at open aperture thanks to the successful correction of longitudinal chromatic aberration and sagittal coma. Fine textures and details are reproduced with impressive clarity

Flexible subject composition

The focal length range of the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art has been extended compared to its predecessor Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art. Equivalent to the 35mm KB format, it offers 25.5-60mm. From landscape shots to tabletop or reportage to portraits, photographers can take full advantage of the expressive power of the large F1.8 aperture. From wide-angle to standard range, shots can be freely composed without having to change lenses.

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting

By using advanced simulation technology and Sigma Super Multi-Layer Coating, flare and ghosting have been largely eliminated so that the lens delivers rich, high-contrast results in all conditions.

Convenient internal zoom for a perfect balance

Thanks to the internal zoom mechanism, the overall length of the lens remains constant when changing the focal length or focus. This means that the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art is easy to handle when shooting handheld, from a tripod or gimbal and remains perfectly balanced. In addition, this design is less susceptible to dust and splash water.

Improved mobility through a compact and lightweight design

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art is over 30% lighter and has a filter diameter of 67mm, which is one size smaller than its predecessor, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art. Although it is a Zoom lens with a large aperture, it is surprisingly handy. The expressive power of F1.8 can be used with a compact APS-C system and makes it ideal for travel and everyday photography as well as video productions where mobility is crucial.

Dust protection, splash protection* and water and oil-repellent coating

In addition to the dust and splash-protected construction, the front element of the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art has a water and oil-repellent coating.

This

means that the lens can also be used in harsh conditions

*The lens is dust and splash-proof, but not waterproof. Make sure that the lens does not come into complete contact with water. Water inside a lens can cause major damage and even make it irreparable.

Equipped with two AFL buttons

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art offers two AFL buttons *1 *2 which have been positioned for optimum accessibility for shooting in portrait and landscape mode. These buttons can be assigned individual functions via the camera menu of compatible cameras

*1 Only in combination with compatible cameras. Available functions may vary depending on the camera used.
*2 The Fujifilm X mount version has an AF function button that can be used to select AF lock/AF operation via lens switch

HLA-controlled high-speed AF

The HLA (High-Response Linear Actuator) drive enables quiet, fast and high-precision autofocus. The smooth, stable autofocus is not only suitable for still photography, but is also perfect for shooting with a gimbal or for vlogging

. Minimal focus breathing

Focus breathing has been suppressed extremely effectively on the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art. This means that there are virtually no changes to the image angle when moving the focus point, which ensures very natural-looking focus tracking for video recordings

. Functional aperture ring

Many demanding users appreciate being able to set the aperture directly via an aperture ring on the lens. The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC Art offers such an aperture ring. Thanks to its "de-click function", this feature is also interesting for filmmakers, as the aperture can be adjusted smoothly and silently in this position. Those who prefer to set the aperture on the camera body can use the aperture ring's lock function and are protected against accidental adjustment.
