More Details:

• Unmatched Portability: Redefining 400mm lenses, this Sigma lens is notably compact and lightweight, setting a new standard for on-the-go photographers.
• Affordable Super Telephoto: Breakthrough value, providing a cost-effective entry point into the world of powerful telephoto zooms without compromise.
• Versatile Zoom Range: Cover a spectrum of focal lengths from 100-400mm, eliminating the need for multiple lenses and adapting to diverse shooting scenarios effortlessly.
• Quiet and Smooth Autofocus: Ideal for capturing fleeting moments, the Hyper Sonic Motor ensures fast, precise, and silent autofocus without disturbing your subject.
• Optical Image Stabilization: Minimize shake for sharper images, especially in low-light conditions, enhancing the lens's performance across various shooting environments.
• Durable Construction: Dust- and splash-proof design, coupled with a robust brass bayonet mount, ensures longevity and reliability, making it suitable for outdoor adventures.

• Telephoto plus macro functionality - With a minimum shooting distance of 160cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:3.8, this lens can shoot either from a distance or up close.
• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating helps further reduce flare and ghosting and provides sharp, high-contrast images even in backlit conditions.
• 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 and 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 and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing to protect the mount from dust and water drops. *Except for the SIGMA mount.
• All-new optical stabilizer (OS) unit with an exclusive algorithm - Featuring a newly developed gyroscopic sensor and a new and 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 a 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 and 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.
• Exclusive low-dispersion glass - 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) and FLD (“F” Low Dispersion). In particular, FLD glass offers ultra-low dispersion in combination with high transmittance and the anomalous dispersion characteristics of fluorite.
