We know and love the Art series for its exceptional optical quality. The new lens impresses with a wide focal range, excellent sharpness, and a compact, lightweight build. This matters because APS-C cameras are inherently compact and demand similarly sized optics. At just 535 g, the Sigma 17–40mm is an ideal choice for travel work, while its versatility makes it a great fit for studio productions as well. The lens is optimized for both stills and video.
