Sigma Art 12-24mm f/4 DG HSM
The 122-degree field of view at 12mm and internal focusing design provide stable handling and expansive coverage for tight interiors. Its optical formula uses four SLD and three aspherical elements to control distortion and edge softness, while the bundled kit adds a 64GB card and cleaning accessories. This lens suits Minolta and Sony SLR shooters needing an ultra-wide zoom for real estate and architecture on a budget.
