Sigma Contemporary 15mm f/1.4 DC 15mm
The 15mm f/1.4 prime pairs its bright aperture with a 13-element optical design in a compact 221g body, providing a 22.5mm full-frame equivalent field of view. A stepping motor AF system delivers quiet, precise focus for video, complemented by a manual aperture ring for direct exposure control. This lens suits street and portrait shooters who need a low-light-capable ultra-wide perspective without the weight of bulkier options.
