This 10-20 mm f/3. 5 EX DC HSM wide-angle zoom lens from Sigma will bring a 102. 4° angle of view to your digital SLR. This means that although the sensor in your DSLR may be smaller than 35mm film you'll still be able to achieve sweeping perspectives & capture tight spaces with ease. Sigma's ELD & SLD lenses effectively correct chromatic aberration to ensure the 10-20 mm f/3. 5 EX DC HSM captures high-quality shots. Four aspherical lenses correct distortion while also making for a compact design. Plus, the hypersonic motor (HSM) ensures quiet, near-instant focusing of up to 24 cm. ...

An ultra-telephoto lens with an optical stabilizer (OS) system has several advantages. The OS allows the photographer to take photographs in unstable circumstances. The narrow angle of view makes it possible to dramatically compress perspective & flexible handling of the background. The photographer can thereby make the subject appear to jump out of the image, with the area in focus impressively sharp & clear. This lens offers the compact size, lightweight, & high cost performance of a 70-300mm lens while delivering 400mm telephoto performance. This approach results in a tempting new ultra-telephoto choice for photographers. Offering a combination of stunning image quality & outstanding functionality, this lens satisfies the needs of pros & amateurs alike. Compact packaging with uncompromising image quality In designing this lens, SIGMA strived to push both compactness & image quality to the limit. Four SLD glass lens elements & an optimized power distribution help minimize optical aberrations. Moreover, by taking special care to minimize transverse chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected via aperture control, SIGMA has ensured outstanding image quality throughout the zoom range. Telephoto plus macro functionality With a minimum shooting distance of 160cm & a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8, this lens can shoot either from a distance or up close. Exclusive low-dispersion glass The degree to which light is refracted by glass depends on the lights wavelength. This fact causes different colors of light to focus at slightly different points. The result is chromatic aberration, the color fringing that is particularly noticeable in telephoto lenses. Most chromatic aberration can be removed by combining a high-refractivity convex lens element with a low-refractivity concave element. Yet residual chromatic aberration known as secondary spectrum may still remain. To minimize this secondary spectrum, which can be a serious issue with conventional lenses, SIGMA lenses feature up to three types of exclusive low-dispersion glass offering superior performance: ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion), SLD (Special Low Dispersion) & FLD (F Low Dispersion). In particular, FLD glass offers ultra-low dispersion in combination with high transmittance & the anomalous dispersion characteristics of fluorite. Meticulous deployment of these types of exclusive low-dispersion glass & optimization of power distribution gives SIGMA lenses superlative image rendition undiminished by residual chromatic aberration. Designed to minimize flare & ghosting SIGMAs Super Multi-Layer Coating helps further reduce flare & ghosting & provide sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. All-new optical stabilizer (OS) unit with exclusive algorithm Featuring a newly developed gyroscopic sensor & a new & exclusive algorithm, the all-new OS unit provides a powerful stabilization effect. An acceleration sensor detects camera shake in any direction
- horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. This technology allows the OS to stabilize the image very effectively, regardless of whether the camera is being held in horizontal or vertical orientation. Push/pull zoom mechanism incorporated For quick control of the angle of view, the zoom ring incorporates a push/pull mechanism in addition to the regular twist mechanism. The exclusive lens hood has also been designed to accommodate push/pull zooming & overall lens maneuverability. By making it possible to adjust the angle of view instantly, this lens gives photographers an even better chance of getting that crucial shot. Rounded diaphragm The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image. Smoother AF operation The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed & quiet AF. The updated algorithm enables smoother AF operation. High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces & enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens. Dust-proof & splash-proof mount. The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing* to protect the mount from dust & water drops. * Except for the SIGMA mount

High performance, large aperture medium telephoto macro lens incorporating Sigma’s Optical Stabiliser function. Sigma’s medium telephoto macro lens incorporates Optical Stabilisation allowing the use of shutter speeds Approx. 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. SLD glass provides good control of aberration & the floating inner focus system ensures high rendering throughout the focusing range. By using Sigma’s APO Tele Converters, it is possible to take photos at greater than 1:1 magnification. HSM ensures a quiet & high speed AF as well as full-time manual focus override. This lens has a rounded 9 blades diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas. Large aperture medium telephoto macro lens This medium telephoto macro lens means that you can maintain an appropriate distance from subjects while still getting close up photos. Since the working distance at its closest focusing position is 142mm, shadows of the lens & camera will not affect photography making it suitable for taking photos of subjects, such as flowers, under natural lighting conditions. In comparison to the Sigma 50mm & 70mm macro lenses, the main subjects can be defined with perfectly smooth & blurred backgrounds. High rendering performance The lens power layout produces excellent optical performance. High refractive index SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass corrects chromatic aberration, spherical aberration & field curvature. It ensures high rendering performance at all shooting distances. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare & ghosting, maintaining quality images with high contrast. Handheld photography with ease Sigma’s OS (Optical Stabiliser) system offers effective correction of Approx. 4 stops. As the stabilisation effect is visible through the viewfinder, it aids composition & accurate focusing. * The OS effectiveness will gradually decrease as the shooting distance becomes shorter. Floating inner focusing This lens incorporates floating inner focusing which moves two lens groups separately. This minimises aberrations which occur as shooting distance changes & enables stable rendering of the image from infinity to 1:1 magnification. This also corrects image distortion, especially when taking close-up pictures. Since focusing does not change its overall length, this lens is easy to hold & use. Quiet & high-speed AF The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) provides quiet & high speed autofocus. It is also possible to use full-time manual focus, even if the lens is set to the AF position. Rounded 9 blades diaphragm This lens has a rounded 9 blade diaphragm which creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas. This also creates smooth, rounded out of focus highlights when taking photos which have a strong light source in the background such as lights shining on the surface of water. APO Tele converters This lens is compatible with Sigma’s APO Tele Converters. With APO Tele Converter 1.4x EX DG, it can be used as 147mm F4 AF* telephoto macro lens, & APO Tele Converter 2x EX DG as 210mm F5.6 MF telephoto macro lens. This allows a greater working distance while still achieving 1:1 macro magnification. *AF does not work from 0.45m close up photography. Dedicated hood adapter When taking photos with APS-C sized digital SLRs, the (supplied) dedicated hood adapter, which extends the length of the hood can be attached. This gives more protection from harmful light that could negatively affect image quality. * When taking photos with full-size digital SLR, please remove HA680-01 in order to avoid the edges of image being blocked. ...
