From Sigma: 

> ULTRA WIDE IN SIGHT. TINY IN SIZE.
> 
> Compact, lightweight and high-performance ultra-wide-angle 17mm lens with an impressive minimum focusing distance. Now available as a “Premium Compact Prime” I series lens.
> 
> “Compact, lightweight and high-performance ultra-wide-angle lens”. Using the latest technology, the 17mm had been created without compromise, despite its challenging design concept. Its wide-angle of view creates impactful landscape images with a unique perspective and, thanks to its minimum close focusing distance of 12cm, the lens can be enjoyed in a variety of alternative ways, including close-up photography and hand-held selfies.
> 
> The optical design has been created exclusively for mirrorless camera systems, which helps reduce lens flare and ghosting that results in excellent image rendering. The all-metal lens barrel highlights Sigma’s craftsmanship and attention to detail, making the Sigma 17mm F4 DG DN | Contemporary a pleasure to use on every shoot.
