• Premium Compact Primes for mirrorless users - One of the key advantages of mirrorless cameras is their smaller form factor, and this new 24mm optic is designed to be perfectly matched to these more compact systems without sacrificing performance. This combination of superb optical quality with exceptional portability, not previously possible with DSLR systems, will bring new opportunities to this and future generations of photographers.
• Aperture ring - designed to help users work intuitively.
• Focus Mode Switch - Using this switch, it is possible to switch the focus mode between AF and MF.
• Beautiful details and bokeh for every scene - With a minimum focus distance of around 10cm and a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2, it enables photographers to explore a subject more freely, from capturing distant landscapes to photographing close-ups of smaller objects.
• Use of multiple high-precision aspherical glass molded lenses - 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 archives both good aberration correction and compact lens size.
• Magnetic metal lens cap - This dedicated metal cap clips to the front surface of the lens magnetically. It is no exaggeration to say that this meticulously crafted cap represents the finishing touch for the I series.
• Stepping Motor - The lens is capable of smooth, quiet, and high-speed AF made possible by a stepping motor, as well as supports Face/Eye Detection AF and video AF.
• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing to protect the mount from dust and water drops.
• Super Multi-Layer Coating - In digital cameras, flare and ghosting may also be caused by reflections between the image sensor and lens surfaces. Here too, SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating is highly effective, assuring images of outstanding contrast.
• Linear focus / Non-linear focus - With “non-linear focus,” the amount of focal point movement varies depending on the focus ring rotational speed.
  With linear focus, if the focus ring rotational angle is the same, the amount of focal point movement remains the same regardless of the focus ring rotational speed.
