The Sigma 8–16mm lens is an enthusiast-level, ultra wide-angle rectilinear zoom lens made by Sigma Corporation specifically for use with APS-C small format digital SLRs. It is the first ultrawide rectilinear (non-fisheye lens) zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 8 mm, designed specifically for APS-C size image sensors.[1] The lens was introduced at the February 2010 Photo Marketing Association International Convention and Trade Show.[2] At its release it was the widest viewing angle focal length available commercially for APS-C cameras.[3][4] It is part of Sigma's DC (Digital Camera) line of lenses, meaning it was designed to have an image circle tailored to work with APS-C format cameras.[4] The lens has a constant length regardless of optical zoom and focus with inner lens tube elements responding to these parameters.[5] The lens has hypersonic zoom autofocus.
The lens is sold in versions that fit the bayonet mounts of Nikon, Canon, Sigma, Sony/Minolta and Pentax APS-C cameras.[6] The lens has been discontinued by Sigma Corporation in 2020.[7]
