The SIGMA 28mm f/1.8 EX DG Aspherical Macro large aperture wide-angle lens for digital and 35mm film SLR
cameras, with Super Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting that
tends to occur when using digital SLR cameras.
This lens has a macro focusing capability with fast F1.8 maximum aperture,
which is ideal for Digital SLR cameras.
Macro capability
This lens is capable of Macro photography, with minimum shooting distance of
20cm (7.8 inch) (reproduction ratio 1 : 2.9) and angle of view is 75.4. You can
take picture not only the subject but also the surrounding scenery.
Large front element and Super wide-angle
The lens has an advanced optical construction, in order to obtain adequate
peripheral brightness with open aperture. Also, the iris diaphragm has 9
diaphragm blades to obtain beautiful out of focus images in the foreground and
background.
Handling
The lens incorporates a Dual-Focus (DF) mechanism. It is easy to hold the
lens, since the focusing ring does not rotate during auto-focus, yet it provides
adequate focusing torque of the focusing ring during manual focusing of the
lens. Also, this also allows the use of a Petal-type Hood and the easy use of a
polarizing filter.
Aspherical lens
It incorporates a floating focus system and uses two aspherical lens elements
for minimizing distortion, aberration and astigmatism.
