The Sigma APO Macro 180mm F2.8 EX APO DG OS HSM incorporates a magnification ratio of 1:1 & a large maximum aperture of F2.8 & benefits from Sigma’s original Optical Stabilizer function. The wide F2.8 aperture allows faster shutter speeds for narrow depth of field, enabling photographers to emphasize the subject. Three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for colour aberrations. This lens incorporates Sigma’s floating inner focusing system which minimizes aberrations that occur as shooting distances change, & enables stable rendering of the image from infinity to 1:1 magnification. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare & ghosting & provides sharp & high contrast images even at the maximum aperture. Equipped with Sigma’s own propriety OS (Optical Stabilizer) system, this lens offers the use of shutter speeds Approx. 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible, enabling handheld close-up photography. The incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet & high speed autofocus as well as full-time manual focus capability. A rounded 9 blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. At 1:1 magnification, this lens has a focusing distance of 47cm/18.5in, which is a greater working distance than shorter focal length macro lenses. This is advantageous when taking pictures of highly sensitive subjects such as butterflies & insects. Attaching Sigma’s optional Tele Converter’s allows photographers’ to shoot with an even greater working distance or with a magnification ratio larger than 1:1. ...

Softie Windshield A robust & proctical windhsield (70mm in diametre) performing as well as a standard windshield (without windjammer) The softie alone provides a fast, flexible & cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones. Constructed of an acoustic foam base covered by a specially designed synthetic fur fabri together with a seperate shockmount with it's own bracket & either pistol grip handle or boom adapter. 30mm long fur, giving protection up to 25db wind noise reduction. Available in a large range of sizes to fit most popular microphones. The main component of the Softie mount is a one piece rubber (actual

Material: EPDM) diaphragm shockmount. This unit is extremely robust, & has been tested in all environment conditions to ensure it performs. The Softie Mount comes in three sizes, depending on which microphone being used. Small Hole 19-20mm diameter Medium Hole 21-22mm diameter Large Hole 24-25mm diameter The mounts are 58mm diameter x 56mm long, & support short to medium length shotgun microphones. Please use the " Quick Product Finder" to see what size you need for your mic. The Softie mount will only fit shotgun microphones, which are cylindrical in shape (the same diameter though their whole length). We can not mount microphones that taper, with the Softie mount. The longest Softie Windshields we make have an internal bore of 32cm (12-1/2")
- Example:AKG CK68 or Audio Technica AT815b. These are the longest microphones we would recomend using a Softie Mount for, simply because the mount is flexible & can not support longer mics. For longer mics, we would only recomend a Full Windshield System, & a Modular suspension. The Softie Mount, used with the Softie Windshield provides a fast, flexible & cost effective solution for ENG on camera microphones This system will allow the user to either hold the mount with the pistol grip handle. Or attach it to a boom pole using the 3/8" Whitworth threaded insert in the base of the handle. This gives a very robust mounting system, which will be suitable for most situations.
