With a minimum focus length of just 8mm, the Sigma 8-16mm is most definitely a one and only.
There is no other ultra wide angle zoom lens being produced on the market at the moment that has such a short minimum focus length and is designed specifically for APS-C category image sensors.
The Sigma 8-16mm has many wonderful features, each one a stand-alone marvel in of itself.
For example, the FLD glass elements, which give an equal performance to lenses made out of fluorite glass are exemplary when it comes to the elimination of colour aberration, even when shooting in a darkened space, such as house interiors.
Thanks to a hybrid aspherical lens, as well as glass mold elements, which are standard for Sigma lenses, the Sigma 8-16mm absolutely outstanding distortion and astigmatism correction, which can often be a bit of an issue with wide angle lenses.
With an inner focusing system, the Sigma 8-16mm produces wonderfully high definition images throughout its whole zoom range and it is able to comprehensively reduce flare and ghosting by using a Super Multi-Layer Coating.
For those with a penchant for contrast, then the Sigma 8-16mm is definitely the lens for you, as its superior peripheral brightness works to guarantee high contrast images no matter the room range being used.
The Sigma 8-16 also has a brilliant auto focus feature that is not only quiet, but extremely high speed, giving crystal clear images almost instantaneously, though it also has a fully capable manual focus facility.
Given it has a minimum focus distance of 9.
4 inches, I have always enjoyed using wonderfully exaggerated perspectives to emphasise my target, generating very powerful and, in some cases, extremely moving images.
The overall construction of this lens is very compact with an overall length of just 4.
2 inches and a diameter at is widest point of 2.
9 inches.
The Sigma 8-16mm is ideal for shooting architecture, landscape photography, weddings, building interiors, group shots and many, many more.
I churn out an extremely high volume of pictures every week in my line of work and I have never once been let down by this lens.
It is easy to use, it performs perfectly without fail, it has paid for its low list price many times over already by stint of the attention my work gets when I use it and I would be absolutely lost without it.
The Sigma 8-16mm is a vital piece of kit for any photographer, either professional, semi-professional or just someone who dabbles here and there as a hobby.
