Features: 1. Achieves the best optical performance that embodies the product concept of our Sports line By incorporating excellent optical glass elements, it minimizes chromatic aberration & achieves class leading image quality. This lens incorporates 2 FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite, & 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements, & compensates for color aberration at the utmost. Chromatic aberration in particular, which could be visible especially towards the telephoto-end even when stopped down, is corrected by the optimized design of glass elements including FLD lenses. 2. High-end model with enhanced durability. Dust-proof & splash-proof construction It is Dust & splash-proof, & designed for higher durability. It is able to meet the demands that professional photographers would require in challenging shooting conditions, such as in the rain Zoom lock switch can be set at any focal length The new zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at any focal length. It can be fixed at the photographer’s desirable focal length, which allows stable shooting whether the lens is positioned upward or downward. It also helps during long exposure photography. Water & oil-repellent coating ensures pleasant photography experience Forefront & rear lenses incorporate a water & oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily & prevents oil & fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier. 3. High action-capture performance that enables any photographer with high demands to get the exact shots they want. Accelerometer enables panning photography both in vertical & horizontal position The OS (Optical Stabilizer) function using an accelerometer has been incorporated to ensure high accuracy. OS Mode 1 is suitable for general photography, & Mode 2 is ideal for panning shooting for motor sports etc. With Mode 2, the accelerometer works effectively to minimize blur while shooting by detecting whether the camera is positioned vertically or horizontally. * This lens cannot be used on film SLR cameras with the exception of the Nikon F6, Canon EOS-1V. * Effect of Mode 2 is limited to panning shooting in horizontal direction. Customization including firmware updates, focus adjustment, setting of full time manual operations as well as adjustment of the timing to switch to MF when rotating the focus ring is available with the optional SIGMA USB (Universal Serial Bus) DOCK, by connecting it with the dedicated software “SIGMA Optimization Pro” on a computer. With this lens, custom mode that can be set depending on the photography situation is available by switching it on the lens. Through custom mode, it is possible to set AF speed, focus limiter where desired focus range can be adjusted, & OS where one of the patterns for optical stabilizer can be selected from “ Dynamic View Mode”, “ Standard” & “ Moderate View Mode”. 5. Compatible with the newly developed tele converters. AF is effective up to F8 Tele Converters that are newly designed to match the new lens line-ups (optional, planned to be released in 2014) can be attached. The addition of SIGMA’s TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 or TELE CONVERTER TC-2001 produces a MF 210-840mm F7-9 hyper-telephoto zoom lens or a MF 300-1200mm F10-12.6 hyper-telephoto zoom lens respectively. In addition, when SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 is attached to cameras that are compatible with AF at F8, it is possible to shoot with AF.* When shooting subjects with low contrast or luminosity value, focus may not be spot on the subject. 6. New product lines from SGV concepts are setting new benchmarks for image quality.
