The lens also features Direct Manual Focus (DMF) and a focus mode switch and supports switching between non-linear and linear focusing when customised using the Sigma USB DOCK UD-11 (sold separately / for L-Mount only). It is also compatible with AF assist functions found on compatible cameras (E-mount only).

 

A robust and compact lens designed for travel

Even though the lens is constructed using precision-aluminium parts and an all-metal barrel, it still only weighs 225g (L-mount), making it perfect for travel photographers who prefer compact, lightweight lenses that retain image quality. A dust and splash-proof mount is fitted to help stop contamination from dust and water. The tactile knurled metal lens hood, focus ring and aperture ring improve the grip on the lens for greater control when in unique situations such as mountaineering. Included with the lens is a magnetic metal lens cap which further improves ease of use. As a result of its compact design, the lens features a 55mm filter thread, similar to other I series lenses, making it easy to swap filters and reduce overall kit weight*.
