The new Sigma 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary lens promises nice image quality and a wide focal length in a very light and portable package. Can it deliver on that promise? This great video review takes a look at the performance and image quality you can expect from the lens in practice.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, the great video review takes a look at the new Sigma 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary lens. As part of the company's Contemporary line, the 17mm f/4 is practical and portable, but still comes with a variety of nice features, including:
- 9 elements in 8 groups
- 2 SLD and 3 aspherical lens elements
- Stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus
- DMF and AF plus MF support
- Super Multi-Layer Coating for reduced flares and ghosting
- Aperture ring
- Focus mode switch
- Linear and non-linear focus support on L mount
- Dust- and splash-resistant construction
- Seven-blade rounded diaphragm for smoother bokeh
- Compatible with Sigma lens dock
- Petal hood
- Magnetic metal lens cap
- Weight: 7.8 oz (220 g)
Altogether, the 17mm f/4 DG DN Contemporary looks like another winner from Sigma, and a particularly portable one at that (and I just love that magnetic lens cap). Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
