During today’s live stream event, Sigma has announced their new Sigma 20mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary series lens for Leica L and Sony E mount. It joins the Sigma 24mm f/2, 24mm f/3.5, 35mm f/2, 45mm f/2.8, 65mm f/2 and 90mm g/2.8 DG DN Contemporary series lens lineup. Sigma says their goal was to create a “palm-sized large-aperture ultra-wide-angle lens” for landscapes, street photography, or whoever else you might want to use a full-frame 20mm lens.

With a length of only 72.4mm and a maximum diameter of 70mm, “palm-sized” definitely seems to be an accurate description, and with a weight of only 370g, it shouldn’t add much of a strain on your back or shoulder when adding it to your bag. In case you missed the lives stream event, you can watch it again here.
