The Sigma Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the new 10mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Diagonal Fisheye lens.

This autofocus fisheye lens is designed for use with digital SLR cameras equipped with APS-C size image sensors. The Nikon version produces a diagonal angle of view of 180°?154°for Sigma, 167°for Canon?. The diagonal field of view of this fisheye lens produces striking images with exaggerated perspective and distortion.

The minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm, and maximum magnification 1:3.3 allows subjects to be as close as 1.8cm from the lens’ front element. The close focusing capability together with a large depth of field allow close up photography that covers objects surrounding the photographic subject. The Integral hood blocks out extraneous light and the Super Multi-Layer Coating minimizes flare and ghosting, creating superior image quality.

The HSM?Hyper Sonic Motor?ensures fast and quiet autofocusing and allows full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring.

This lens is supplied with a gelatin filter holder at the rear, allowing the use of gelatin filters.
