Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary Lens Compatible with Canon RF Mount (APS-C) Bundle with 58mm UV Filter + Lens Cap Keeper + Cleaning Kit (5 Items)

The Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary is an ultra-wide lens featuring a notably portable design. This remarkably compact and swift prime lens offers an expansive field of view. It is particularly well-suited for applications in landscapes, interiors, architecture, and astrophotography, embodying a maximalist approach within a minimalist form factor.

Speed and Sharpness

Engineered specifically for APS-C-format cameras, this lens provides a focal length equivalent to 22.5mm. Its ultra-wide field of view, combined with a rapid f/1.4 maximum aperture, makes it ideal for low-light situations and for managing depth of field. The optical construction incorporates FLD and SLD glass elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure high color fidelity. Three double-sided aspherical elements effectively manage distortion and spherical aberrations, while also aiding in achieving high sharpness and reducing the overall dimensions and weight of the lens. The optical design emphasizes edge-to-edge sharpness and mitigates sagittal coma flares, even when the lens is used wide open. Additionally, lens flare and surface reflections are adeptly controlled, making it suitable for use in bright, high-contrast settings. The rounded 9-blade diaphragm enhances the quality of bokeh, providing a smooth and pleasing aesthetic.

Compact Creativity

In comparison to the 16mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary, the 15mm f/1.4 lens is 30% shorter and 50% lighter. This lens has a length of 2.6 inches and a weight of approximately 8 ounces, whereas the 16mm f/1.4 measures over 3.5 inches in length and weighs more than 14 ounces. This lens is suitable for both photography and videography, and its compact, lightweight, and well-balanced design makes it an excellent choice for gimbal-based shooting and vlogging purposes. The stepping motor provides fast, silent, and precise autofocus capabilities. Furthermore, focus breathing is effectively managed to preserve the field of view during focus adjustments.

Durable Design and Handling

• The design is resistant to dust and splashes, making it suitable for use in outdoor and adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, a coating that repels water and oil has been applied to the front lens element, enhancing its ability to withstand the elements and facilitating easier cleaning.
  
  
• A manual aperture ring allows for direct and intuitive control over exposure; it also features an 'A' position for camera-based aperture adjustments.
  
  
• The included petal-shaped lens hood minimizes lens flare and offers protection against unintentional impacts.
  
  
• This lens is well-suited to complement other Sigma f/1.4 DC lenses, forming a compact system of fast and consistent prime lenses that cover a broad spectrum of focal lengths.
