About this model
The Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM is an ultra-wide-angle zoom for Canon EF-mount cameras. On a full-frame body it delivers a dramatic 12mm view, while on APS-C it behaves like a 19-38mm lens. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) provides fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. The DG designation means it is optimised for full-frame digital sensors, and the built-in petal hood helps control flare. It is a popular choice for landscapes, architecture, interiors and events where a very wide field of view is needed. The lens accepts rear gelatine filters only, as the front element does not take screw-in filters.
