Previously , the Sigma 10-18mm F/2.8 DC DN ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with autofocus and weighing 260 grams was announced. This lens is designed for cameras with APS-C matrices. Optically, the lens consists of 13 elements in 10 groups (3 FLD, 1 SLD and 4 aspherical elements), which is quite unusual for such a compact size. There is an internal focusing system and an automatic focusing drive (stepping motor) – it should ensure silent and fast operation.
