Frequently asked questions
What is the equivalent focal length?
About 15-27mm on a full-frame equivalent basis, a wide-angle range suited to vlogging and landscapes.
Is the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary 023 good for vlogging?
Yes. The wide field of view and light weight of about 255 g suit handheld vlogging, and the constant f/2.8 helps in dim light.
Is the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary 023 APS-C only?
Yes. Its image circle is sized for APS-C sensors, so on a full-frame body it would force a crop or show vignetting.
