Type of Lens
The SIGMA DG HSM I A Lens is a standard lens. Standard lenses make great general-purpose lenses, and can be used to photograph everything from close-up portraits to landscapes. They tend to be very "fast" lenses (i.e. they have a wide aperture), making them great for indoor and low-light photography. This SIGMA lens produces images whose perspective is very similar to that seen by the human eye. This gives their photos a pleasing, natural feel, and helps focus attention on the subject, rather than distracting the viewer with an unusually distorted image.
Lens Best Suited For Travel, Wedding & Events, Portrait Photography
The SIGMA DG HSM I A Lens can be used for a wide range of shots, and tend to be cheap and fast, making them well suited for indoor as well as outdoor environments. Standard lenses are sadly not nearly as common as they once were, but they still make an excellent addition to any photographer's kit. Because of their ability to accurately reproduce a scene, standard lenses are an excellent choice for photographing people. They are particularly good when shooting candid photos, where you want to include some surrounding scenery to put the subject in context.
