Sigma 200205
Delivering a 122-degree diagonal field of view at 12mm, this lens captures expansive scenes that standard zooms cannot reach. Its Super Multi Coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, while the internal focus ring maintains the lens length during operation. This is a practical tool for architectural and landscape photographers on a budget who prioritize extreme wide-angle coverage over a fast aperture.
