Sigma Art 17-40mm f/1.8 DC

79.4 Video/Cinema Score
17-40mm f/1.8 Canon RF
Why we recommend this

Its constant f/1.8 aperture across a 17-40mm zoom range provides exceptional low-light performance and consistent depth-of-field control for APS-C Canon RF cameras. The lens offers a versatile full-frame equivalent field of view from 25.5mm to 60mm, making it a superfast wide-to-normal zoom option. This lens is best for portrait photographers and content creators on APS-C bodies who need a bright, flexible prime-like zoom for both environmental shots and standard focal lengths.
