Sigma announces the 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art Lens

Sigma Corp. of America introduced the 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art, the first Art lens for APS-C format since 2016, and the first made exclusively for crop sensor mirrorless cameras. This lens is the direct successor to the 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art for DSLR cameras. With an updated optical design, it delivers the image quality and brightness of a prime lens, along with the versatility of a zoom, the company said.  This fast, flexible lens is also designed with video shooting in mind, featuring an inner zoom, high-speed and silent linear autofocus, and minimal focus breathing, as well as a dust and splash-resistant structure for use in virtually any environment.

Significantly lighter than its predecessor, the 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art lens weighs 535g (18.9 oz.) and will be available in mid-July at authorized Sigma dealers for Sony E-mount, L-Mount, Fujifilm X Mount, and Canon RF Mount for a retail price of $919 USD.
