Size, Weight and Filter Thread

Focal Range

Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM has a focal range of 14-24mm and 1.7X zoom ratio. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.6x crop, it provides an 35mm (FF) equivalent of 22.4 - 38.4mm.



Weather Sealings

The Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM is a weather-sealed lens, which provides extra protection to prevent water and dust get inside the lens and camera body under light rain, snow and wind. In order to have effective protection, you have to pair the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM with a weather-sealed camera body such as the Canon 1D X III, Canon 6D MII and Canon 5D MIV.

Zoom Method

Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM features Rotary (extending) zoom method where the length of the lens changes as you zoom in or out.
