WITH AN F1.8 LARGE APERTURE AND EXCEPTIONAL IMAGE QUALITY COMPARABLE TO A PRIME LENS ACROSS THE ENTIRE ZOOM RANGE.

THIS ZOOM LENS FOR APS-C MIRRORLESS CAMERAS PUSHES THE BOUNDARIES OF STILL AND VIDEO EXPRESSION.

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art builds upon the groundbreaking innovations of the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art, which earned high acclaim as the world’s first F1.8 zoom lens in the photography and video industry. Thirteen years after its debut, this next-generation lens achieves not only superior optical performance but also a wider focal length of 17-40mm while reducing its weight by over 30%. This dramatically enhances the versatility of a large aperture standard zoom lens.
In addition to the fast and quiet autofocus driven by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), the lens incorporates an inner zoom mechanism and minimal focus breathing, ensuring outstanding performance for both still photography and video production. Sigma, the pioneer that stunned the world with the first-ever F1.8 zoom lens, has once again revolutionized the history of large aperture zoom lenses with groundbreaking advancements.

Constant maximum aperture of F1.8

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art has the convenience of a zoom lens with a constant aperture of F1.8 throughout the zoom range. Taking advantage of a large aperture comparable to a prime lens, the lens is suitable for low-light environments such as indoor and night scenes, as well as for expression using large bokeh.

Excellent optical performance

The optical design, realized through the latest design and processing technologies, including the use of high-precision aspherical lenses, achieves excellent optical performance.
By emphasizing the correction of axial chromatic aberration and sagittal coma flare, the lens achieves high resolution even at the wide-open F1.8 aperture, rendering delicate textures and fine details with stunning clarity.

Flexible framing made possible

The zoom range of the Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art has been expanded from its predecessor the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art, covering 25.5-60mm in 35mm format¹. From wide-angle tabletop photography to portraits that fully utilize the telephoto angle of view, users can take full advantage of the expressive power of the large F1.8 aperture while freely framing their shots without the need to change lenses.

1.Approximately 27.2-64mm for the Canon RF Mount version.

Designed to minimize flare and ghosting

Using advanced simulation technology and Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating, flare and ghosting have been largely eliminated, ensuring that the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions.

Practical and stable inner zoom

Employing an inner zoom mechanism, the overall length of the lens remains constant when the focal length or focus distance changes. This means the lens is easy to use and highly stable when shooting hand-held, on a tripod or gimbal, and even more resistant to dust and water contamination.

Enhanced mobility with a compact and lightweight design

The Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art is over 30% lighter and has a filter diameter of 67mm, which is one size smaller than its predecessor the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art. Despite being a large aperture zoom lens, it is surprisingly portable. The expressive power of F1.8 can be used with a compact APS-C system, making it ideal for travel and everyday photography, as well as video production, where mobility is key.

Dust- and splash-resistant structure¹ / water- and oil-repellent coating

In addition to a dust- and splash-resistant structure, the frontmost surface of the lens has a water- and oil-repellent coating applied, so that the lens can be used safely even in harsh outdoor environments.

1.The product is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant but is not waterproof. When using the lens near water, etc., take care not to allow large amounts of water to splash on it. If water gets inside the lens, it may cause a major malfunction and render the lens unrepairable.

Equipped with two AFL buttons

Equipped with two AFL buttons¹ ² that can be assigned any function from the camera menu. By placing them on the side and top, users can easily operate the buttons in either landscape or portrait positioning.

1. Functions can be assigned on supported cameras only. Available functions may vary depending on the camera used.

2.The FUJIFILM X Mount version has an AF function button that can be used to select AF lock/AF operation via lens switch.

HLA-driven high-speed AF

The adoption of HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) enables quiet, high-speed, high-precision autofocus. The smooth, stable autofocus is perfect not only for still photography, but also for single-operator shooting with a gimbal or vlogging.

Minimal focus breathing

The focus breathing is suppressed, minimizing changes in the angle of view caused by focus shift and enabling smooth, natural-looking focus pulls when recording video.

Aperture ring with various functions

Equipped with an aperture ring¹ for intuitive control of the aperture. When shooting video, users can turn off the click switch for smooth, quiet aperture control. It also has an aperture ring lock switch² to prevent accidental changes to the aperture during shooting.

1. The Canon RF Mount version has a control ring instead of an aperture ring. It does not have an aperture ring click switch or lock switch.

2. If you turn it on in position A, the aperture ring will be locked in position A. If you turn it on in a position other than A, it will be locked in the range from open to minimum aperture, and it will not be possible to turn it to position A.

HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)

HLA is SIGMA's proprietary linear motor. It drives the focus lens directly without going through gears or other mechanical parts, resulting in quiet, high-precision autofocusing.

Inner Zoom

The lens incorporates an inner zoom. With their unchanging barrel length, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.

Water and oil repellent coating

Incorporates a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.

Aperture ring

Aperture ring, designed to help users work intuitively

Aperture ring click switch

Mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks by the aperture ring click switch, enabling seamless operations that are especially useful such as during video shooting.

Aperture ring lock switch

A ring lock system to prevent from unintended movement of the aperture ring during shooting.

AFL button

The AFL button can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.

Focus Mode Switch

Using this swich, it is possible to switch the focus mode between AF and MF.

Dust and Splash Resistant Structure

This lens features a highly effective dust and splash resistant structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection.

*Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof, so please prevent large amounts of water from splashing on the lens. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism, lens elements and electric components if they are damaged by water.
