The German photography retailer AC-Foto is currently listing a new wide-angle zoom lens from Sigma which will appeal to all digital SLR owners. The Sigma 12-24/F4.5-5.6 ex DG Asph may be quite slow but it will translate to a 19-38mm lens on a Canon EOS 10D/300D, for example.

Here’s a translation of the AC-Foto webpage courtesy of Google:

Sigma 12-24/F4.5-5.6 ex DG Asph NOVELTY!!!!! (at the end of of Octobers available)

The first zoom with a diagonal picture angle of 122° with a focal length of 12mm! For similar and digital SLR of systems suitably!

- variable picture angle from 122° to 84.1°
- equipment with 4 SLD glass elements and 3 aspheric lens elements for the achievement of the high optical achievement
- interior focusing for the retention of the overall length during focusing
- HSM technology (SIGMA, Nikon and Canon connection) with all time manual focus option.
- minimum adjusting distance only 28cm with all focal lengths
- member of the ex DG series, the line particularly for the digital SLR cameras

With the employment at similar SLR cameras offers the sayful picture angles of 122° unbelievable wide-angle photographs. At digital SLR cameras can be spoken despite their extension factor finally seriously of a wide angle. The objective is suitable in both systems outstanding for interior and landscape photographs. The color defects frequently arising with superwide angle objectives are corrected by the four SLD of glass elements (particularly low color scatter) effectively. For the removal of the remaining aberrations and the distortion two bright-pressed glass lenses are responsible as well as a hybrid lens. By the employment of ultramodern production technologies technical designers apart from the outstanding imaging capacity also extremely compact dimensions could carry out the SIGMA; the objective length amounts to whole 100mm with a maximum diameter of 87mm. The interior focusing provides for the constant overall length during focusing and prevents a rotating of the frontlinse. Thus the employment of the special, tulpenfoermigen back light screen is possible, which, firmly inserted, holds scattered light effectively. The models, which are equipped with the HSM technology connection-dependently, offer at any time the possibility of intervening manually in the focusing. The minimum distance amounts to with all focal lengths only 28cm, measured starting from the film level.
