Sigma goes wide Ultra-wide angle and full-frame go together like peas and carrots, and we’ve got Sigma to thank for this top-notch pairing. Its new 20mm f/1.4 ultra-wide angle lens in the Art range is designed to get the most out of your full-frame DSLR. Sigma has designed the f/1.4 lens with two FLD (F low dispersion) glass and five SLD (special low dispersion) glass elements so that there is better clarity edge to edge and to minimise chromatic aberrations. Distortion is another common issue with wide-angle lenses and Sigma has thought of a way around that too, so you’ll find you’ll be getting a much higher quality throughout your images. Ghosting and flare have been attacked, too, so even in backlit conditions you’ll still get sharp, ghost-free results. It’s priced at £849.99, is available in Nikon and Canon fits, and comes with a cover lens and rear lens cap.
