With a very short minimum focusing distance of about 10 cm and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2, it allows photographers to shoot more freely, without worrying about the distance between the lens and the subject. The rugged and sleek finish of the I-series lens barrel provides a more satisfying shooting experience. The 24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary is a versatile prime that will become an extension of your creative vision.

Series I | A new photographic experience, "Premium Compact Primes" for mirrorless users

The SIGMA I series features full-frame-compatible lenses that offer mirrorless users a new and better alternative, both in the experience of shooting with the lens and the impressive results it is capable of achieving. One of the main advantages of mirrorless cameras is their smaller form factor, and this new 24mm optic is designed to blend seamlessly with these more compact systems, without sacrificing performance. This combination of excellent optical quality with exceptional portability, which was not previously possible with DSLR systems, will bring new opportunities for this and future generations of photographers. At the same time, SIGMA is aware that, in this day and age, when we have such a diversity in what we use to photograph, represented by smartphones, people are looking for something more than just an act of "taking pictures" when choosing. have a camera and lenses. SIGMA's excellence in development and processing technologies has been built since its founding in 1961 and has become even more sophisticated with the introduction of the SIGMA Global Vision in 2012. With this as a foundation, SIGMA thought carefully about how photographers use and enjoy their lenses, including optical design, advanced functionality, build quality, and the experience of picking up and using the lenses, and with all of this carefully considered, the I-series was born.

Beautiful details and bokeh for every scene

The high resolving power of the 24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary covers the entire image from centre to edge, meaning photographers can rely on edge-to-edge sharpness at all apertures when shooting wide-angle scenes. With a minimum focusing distance of around 10cm and a maximum reproduction rate of 1: 2, allows photographers to explore a subject more freely, from capturing distant landscapes to shooting close-ups of smaller objects.

In addition to eye-catching bokeh, it also gives photographers almost circular out-of-focus highlights, even at the edges of the frame. This helps create a close-up image of an in-focus subject with a blurred background, a very useful technique in a variety of settings. The lens features the latest optical design optimized for mirrorless systems. This includes aspherical elements molded in high-precision glass, created with advanced processing technology, and SLD glass and high refractive index glass elements. Together, they make it possible to combine high optical performance with compression. In addition, The soft-focus drive system designed around a fast and quiet stepper motor also makes the 24mm F3.5 DG DN| Contemporary, a desirable choice for shooting video.

* Mold for aspherical glass molded lenses

Use of multiple high-precision aspherical glass molded lenses

The surface of glass molding molds, which is a process that forms optical components by pressing glass materials at high temperatures, requires very high precision. SIGMA uses high-precision molds whose surfaces are controlled with an accuracy of ± 5 nanometers (0.000005 mm) or smaller. High-precision aspherical glass molded lenses file good aberration correction and compact lens size.

Exceptional I-Series build quality with a compact form factor

All I-Series lenses have an all-metal construction. Precision-cut aluminum parts not only provide the barrel with a sleek and modern finish, but also offer excellent durability, which improves the quality of the entire product. Metal materials are also used in internal structures that slide with the operating ring for added robustness. These high-precision components are created with metallurgy technology SIGMA's high-end lenses are also used in SIGMA's line of cinema lenses for professional videographers and provide an exquisite sense of touch and sound effects, making photographers want to reach for it and play with it over and over again.

With a pairing with 45mm F2.8 DG DN | Contemporary in mind, the 24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary is compatible with the same 55mm filter size, with a matching outer diameter and similar overall lengths. With a combined weight of just 440g / 15.5oz. * , these two lenses can be used together as part of a compact, high-spec camera system that covers a wide range of range of shooting situations. * For L-mount

Magnetic Metal Lens Cap

The 24mm F3.5 DG DN | Contemporary, the 35mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary and the 65mm F2 DG DN | The contemporary I-series caps are accompanied by a dedicated magnetic metal lens cap in addition to a regular plastic cap. This dedicated metal cap magnetically attaches to the front surface of the lens. It's no exaggeration to say that this meticulously crafted cap represents the finishing touch to the series I.

Magnetic Metal Lens Cap Holder (sold separately)

When the cap is removed from the lens, it should have an appropriate place to be stored. Using this as a starting point, a cap holder using the magnetic force of the dedicated cap was created. With the cap attached to the ring plate and the plate attached to a bag or belt, the cap is always within reach and is less likely to get lost. Plus, its sleek design is a sophisticated addition to a photographer's gear.
