Big news for hybrid shooters: the brand-new Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 DC | Art lens is here at Allen’s Camera — and it’s available in Sony E, L-Mount, Fujifilm X, and Canon RF. If you’re using an APS-C mirrorless camera and want next-level flexibility, this one’s going straight on your wish list.
This lens is Sigma’s follow-up to the legendary 18-35mm F1.8 — but it’s lighter, wider, and purpose-built for mirrorless. It’s the first Art lens made exclusively for crop-sensor cameras, and it brings some serious upgrades for both photography and video.
Why we’re so excited about it:
-
Bright and beautiful: A constant F1.8 aperture across the entire zoom range gives you the low-light power and depth of field you'd expect from a prime lens — with zoom flexibility.
-
Incredibly sharp: Advanced optics, SLD glass, and aspherical elements keep your shots crisp and clean, even wide open.
-
Designed for video: It’s got silent, high-speed autofocus, minimal focus breathing, and an inner zoom — perfect for gimbal work and smooth, cinematic focus pulls.
-
Ready for real life: Lightweight (just 535g!), compact, and built with dust- and splash-resistance plus a water- and oil-repellent coating on the front element.
Who’s it for?
This lens is a no-brainer for hybrid creators — the folks who are filming, vlogging, shooting stills, and doing it all on the go. Whether you're a solo shooter, a gimbal user, or a travel content creator who needs one lens to do it all, the 17-40mm F1.8 delivers.
Smart design touches include:
-
Two assignable AFL buttons for quick control
-
Aperture ring with click and lock switches (except on Canon RF, which uses a control ring)
-
Inner zoom mechanism to keep things balanced and stable
-
67mm filter thread — smaller and more convenient than you might expect
