Product Description

Ultra-Wide. Ultra-Fast. Ultra-Compact.

The Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary redefines what an ultra-wide prime can be—delivering exceptional brightness and sharpness in a remarkably small, lightweight form. Designed for APS-C-format cameras, this lens offers an expansive 22.5mm equivalent focal length, making it a perfect choice for landscapes, interiors, architectural work, and astrophotography. Despite its minimalist size, it delivers truly maximal creative performance.

Brilliant Optics and Exceptional Speed

• The ultra-wide angle of view pairs with a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, ideal for low-light environments and achieving a shallow depth of field.

• Advanced optics include FLD and SLD glass elements to suppress chromatic aberrations, ensuring crisp detail and vibrant color accuracy.

• Three double-sided aspherical elements minimize distortion and spherical aberrations while keeping the lens compact and lightweight.

• Designed for edge-to-edge sharpness, the optical construction also effectively reduces sagittal coma flare, critical for pinpoint star rendering in night-sky photography.

• Lens flare and reflections are carefully controlled, maintaining contrast and clarity even in backlit or high-contrast scenes.

• A rounded 9-blade diaphragm produces pleasing, smooth bokeh for a natural background blur.

Compact Design, Big Performance

• Compared to the Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary, this 15mm version is 30% shorter and 50% lighter, measuring only 2.6" in length and weighing approximately 8 oz.

• Its small, well-balanced build makes it ideal for handheld, gimbal, or vlogging setups, offering excellent portability without compromise.

• A stepping motor ensures quick, precise, and near-silent autofocus, while minimal focus breathing maintains consistent framing during focus pulls—perfect for video creators.

Built for Real-World Shooting

• Dust- and splash-resistant construction supports outdoor use in challenging environments.

• The front element’s water- and oil-repellent coating keeps the lens clean and ready for action.

• A manual aperture ring provides tactile control over exposure, with an ‘A’ mode for seamless camera-based aperture adjustment.

• The included petal-shaped hood minimizes flare and offers added protection.

• Part of Sigma’s f/1.4 DC series, it matches beautifully with other primes in the lineup—creating a compact, high-performance lens kit.

Compact yet powerful, the Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary delivers stunning sharpness, brilliant low-light performance, and professional versatility—all in a travel-friendly design built for creators on the move.
