Sigma Contemporary 10-18mm f/2.8 DC DN
Weighing just 261g, this is the world's smallest and lightest f/2.8 ultra-wide zoom for APS-C, delivering sharp edge-to-edge results with a constant bright aperture. Its 11.6cm minimum focusing distance and 1:4 magnification ratio enable dramatic close-up perspectives, all within a dust and splash-resistant mount. This lens is best for landscape and travel photographers who need a compact, fast wide-angle zoom for multi-mount systems.
