The SIGMA I-Series is a range of compact, beautifully designed high-performance lenses for mirrorless camera systems. Part of the first collection is the versatile SIGMA 24mm prime lens, which expands the Contemporary product line. It combines outstanding resolving power with a small body that is perfectly weighted for mirrorless systems.

The 24mm F2 DG DN Contemporary Premium lens delivers outstanding optical performance, a large aperture of F2, an all-metal construction and is equipped with an aperture ring. It was developed from the ground up for mirrorless systems and is perfectly balanced in combination with modern full-frame cameras. Its high resolution meets all the requirements of the latest camera models with extremely high megapixel counts.

The always-on wide-angle lens
The new 24mm F2 full-frame lens was developed for photographers looking for a sharp, fast and robust wide-angle lens that won't weigh them down in their camera bag.

New optical performance standards
The lens contains two SLD elements and an FLD lens to correct the longitudinal chromatic aberration to which fast lenses in particular are otherwise susceptible. Two bright-molded aspherical elements, manufactured using technology from the only production facility in Aizu, Japan, ensure excellent correction of various aberrations and at the same time allow a reduction in the total number of optical elements and thus the dimensions and weight of the lens.

In view of the typical applications of a wide-angle lens, the lens developers have focused their attention on achieving a consistently high level of detail resolution from the center to the edges of the image field. The fact that sagittal coma is also effectively suppressed makes the lens particularly suitable for astrophotography - stars are still depicted in a pinpoint shape even close to the edge of the image.

The autofocus is driven by a stepper motor that is as fast as it is quiet, bringing the high optical performance to bear where you want to image with maximum sharpness.

High-quality coating
An ideal lens directs the incident light through all the lenses and onto the sensor.

If, on the other hand, some of the light is reflected by individual lenses, not only is the light yield reduced, but the reflections within the lens create ghost images and flare spots or reduce the contrast.

To prevent this, the 24mm F2 DG DN Contemporary uses a Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML), which reduces stray light and ghost images. The result is clear, sharp and high-contrast images without annoying lens flares.

For full-frame cameras
The 24mm F2 DG DN Contemporary is compatible with mirrorless L-mount full-frame cameras.

A stepper motor is used for fast focusing. The autofocus with automatic eye detection used in newer mirrorless cameras is also supported, making the precise focusing of portraits, for example, child's play.
