For digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor, a dedicated hood adapter, which expands the length of the lens hood is supplied & enables the hood to block out extraneous light more effectively. ...

This large aperture medium telephoto macro lens offers advanced performance of close-up photography. Sigma's own proprietary OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables handheld close-up photography. A Special Low Dispersion (SLD) lens & one high refractive index SLD lens provide excellent correction for all types of aberration & distortion. A floating focusing system moves two different lens groups in the optical path to different positions. This system compensates for astigmatic aberration & spherical aberration & provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 macro. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare & ghosting, providing high contrast images. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet & high speed autofocus as well as full-time manual focus capability. This lens features a rounded 9-blade diaphragm creating an attractive blur to the out of focus areas of the image. ...

This latest version of the Sigma Macro 150mm F2.8 EX DG HSM boasts Optical Stabilization (OS) which is critical to equipment sporting this focal range & is now splash-proof. Offering the latest optical design technology this lens remains a large aperture medium macro lens ideal for shooting the smaller things in our world that exists virtually unseen. A macro lens is one which will focus on a subject close enough to render it "life-size" on the image plane in your camera. It also has a "flat" field" front lens element so that it can shoot images of flat objects such as artwork or postage stamps & be tack sharp all the way across the image. With HSM (Hyper-Sonic Motor) a quiet & high-speed auto focus is ensured. It provides extremely high optical performance from infinity to 1:1 Macro. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide optimum color correction & sharpness throughout the entire range & Super Multi-layer coating reduces flare & ghosting. It has superior peripheral brightness & provides sharp & high contrast images even at maximum apertures. The OS offers the use of shutter speeds Approx. 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible. It is also compatible with Sigma APO Tele Converters. Ideally suited for taking pictures of insects or other small creatures, but it is also the perfect focal length for facial portraits rendering the best perspective of the human face. This greater distance also allows the photographer more flexibility in lighting the subject with natural light reflectors. So don't miss the tiny insects, flowers of the world or the details in a stamp or coin collection or a piece of embroidery all of which are seldom noticed but offer a fascinating world if you look closely enough. Capture them with the Sigma Macro 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro. ...
