Close-Focusing Wide-Angle Prime
A sleek, compact, wide-angle prime, the Sony E-mount 20mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary Lens from Sigma provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness in a stylish all-metal design.

Refined Optics
  • As part of the Contemporary line within Sigma's Global Vision series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance between convenience and performance and meshes a compact, lightweight build and versatile handling with notable optical attributes.
  • The lens is constructed with one SLD glass element and one FLD glass element to correct chromatic aberration. It incorporates three high-precision aspherical elements, which reduces the total size and weight of the lens.
Physical Design
  • I-series lens emphasizing a sleek and stylish physical design built to the same operational standards of Sigma's Cine lenses, including a mechanical aperture ring, knurled metal components, and various switches and tactile controls for intuitive operation.
  • Wide-angle 20mm lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 30mm equivalent focal length.
  • Bright f/2 maximum aperture strikes and ideal balance between speed and size and manages to maintain a compact physical profile while also offering low-light performance and depth of field control.
  • Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Fast Closeup Focusing
  • Integrated stepping motor realizes smooth and quiet autofocus. Full-time manual focus control can also be selected via an arc-type auto/manual focus switch. A newly designed linear/non-linear manual focus function is also available.
  • Minimum focusing distance of 8.7" for unique close-up shooting capabilities.
All-Purpose Functionality
  • All-metal body and high-precision metal parts with a dust- and moisture-resistant lens mount for increased protection from the elements.
  • Metal lens hood helps to reduce lens flare when working in strong lighting conditions and also offers some protection to the front element of the lens.
  • Compatible with optional CH-11 Magnetic Cap Holder, which features a mini-carabiner for clipping to a bag, jacket, or belt loop.

What is meant by " linear/non-linear manual focus ...

What is meant by " linear/non-linear manual focus function"? Is this similar to the linear focus feature on Lumix S Pro lenses?
Asked by: David
According to Sigma, non-linear focus would have a variable amount of focal point movement depending on the focus ring rotation speed. With linear focus, the amount of focal point movement remains the same regardless of the focal point moment and if the focal ring rotation angle is the same.
