Sigma Contemporary 12mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary 12mm

60.4 Portrait Score
12mm 16 Canon RF Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

The stepping motor AF provides quiet, precise focusing with minimal breathing, complemented by water- and oil-repellent coatings and dust/splash-resistant construction for reliable outdoor use. This lens is best for Canon RF APS-C shooters needing a compact, fast ultra-wide for vlogging, low-light interiors, and close-up landscape or street work.
