Telephoto lens for digital SLR cameras housed in a compact construction and incorporating Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabiliser) function.
This telephoto zoom lens incorporates Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabiliser) function making hand-held telephoto photography a reality. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and the inner focusing system provide high definition and the Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides high contrast images. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), ensuring a quiet and high speed AF.
SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and the inner focusing system provide excellent correction for all type of aberrations. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range.
The lens has a compact construction with an overall length of 102.2mm (4.0") and a maximum diameter of 74.4mm (2.9"). It is ideal for many situations such as landscape and general photography.
This lens is equipped with Sigma's own unique OS function. This system offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. It also compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subjects such as motor sports. The OS function can be also used for Sony and Pentax mount. As compensation for camera shake is visible in the viewfinder, the photographer can easily check for accurate focus and ensure there is no subject movement.
The incorporation of HSM and an inner focusing system provide fast and quiet auto-focusing.
The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and ensures high contrast image quality throughout the entire zoom range.
The lens design incorporates an inner focusing system which eliminates front lens rotation. This makes the lens particularly suitable for using a circular polarising filter.
This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 110cm (43.3") throughout the entire zoom range, and has maximum magnification of 1:4.5, making it ideal for close-up photography.
* Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.
