Oct 18, 2003 at 04:24:37 GMT
Sigma Japan has announced a new wide angle zoom lens, the 12 - 24 mm
F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM. This lens is clearly aimed at providing a good wide
angle range for digital SLR's as well as ultra wide angle for film SLR's.
On the Sigma SD9 (1.7x crop) this lens would provide the same field of
view as a 20-41 mm lens, on the Canon EOS-10D/300D this would be approx.
19-38 mm. This new lens will be available in Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax
(non-HSM) and Minolta (non-HSM) mounts and has an estimated Japanese list
price of 99,000 YEN ($901 at todays exchange rate).
