Technology Details
High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
Zoom lock switch (Wide end) The zoom lock switch fixes the zoom ring at the widest end, preventing it from rotating and causing the lens barrel to extend under its own weight during transportation.
HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is an original Sigma development that uses ultrasonic waves to drive the autofocus mechanism. Its extremely quiet operation helps avoid disturbing photographic subjects. High torque and speed assure rapid autofocus response. Sigma uses two types of HSM: ring HSM and micro HSM. The Ring HSM configuration permits manual fine-tuning of focus (manual override) by turning the focusing ring after autofocus is complete.
Rounded diaphragm The polygonal shape of a conventional iris diaphragm causes out-of-focus light points to appear polygonal. A rounded diaphragm is designed to produce rounded out-of-focus light points when opened to near maximum aperture. This creates attractive bokeh effects in many situations, such as when photographing a subject against an out-of-focus surface of water from which light is being reflected.
OS (Optical Stabilizer) function Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function uses sensors inside the lens to detect any motion, then moves specific lens elements in order to effectively minimize blur caused by such movement. Owing to the stabilized image in the viewfinder, it is possible to fine-tune composition and ensure accurate focusing.
Exclusive low-dispersion glass The degree to which light is refracted by glass depends on the light’s wavelength. This fact causes different colors of light to focus at slightly different points, resulting in chromatic aberration. To minimize this secondary spectrum, which can be a serious issue with conventional lenses, Sigma uses up to three types of exclusive low-dispersion glass: ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion), SLD (Special Low Dispersion), and FLD (“F” Low Dispersion). These technologies offer superior performance in minimizing residual chromatic aberration.

Camera CompatibilityLINK
Notes* DC lenses have an image circle that covers APS-C size image sensors. Not for use on digital cameras having image sensors larger than APS-C size or on 35mm or APS film cameras, as vignetting will occur.
* The angle of view varies depending on which camera the lens is mounted on.
* To find the 35mm camera-equivalent focal length, multiply the DC lens focal length by the crop factor (digital multiplier) of 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7, depending on the brand of DSLR camera on which the lens will be used.
* To find which DC lens is equivalent to a full-frame lens, divide the focal length of the full-frame lens by the same crop factor.
