More Details:

• Ultra-Fast f/1.8 Aperture: Delivers beautifully shallow depth of field and exceptional performance in low-light conditions, perfect for creating stunning bokeh effects.

• Exceptional Sharpness and Clarity: Engineered to render images with meticulous detail and edge-to-edge sharpness, making it ideal for high-resolution cameras.

• Smooth, Creamy Bokeh: Thanks to its 9-blade diaphragm and advanced optical design, the lens produces a smooth, buttery bokeh, enhancing the aesthetic quality of your photos.

• Minimized Chromatic Aberrations: Special glass elements and coatings are employed to effectively control color fringing, ensuring clean and accurate colors in your images.

• Durable, Weather-Resistant Build: The lens's dust and splash-resistant construction offers reliability and peace of mind in various shooting environments.

• Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) for Autofocus: Ensures fast, silent, and precise autofocus performance, crucial for capturing sharp images in dynamic conditions.

• Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Offers seamless transition between autofocus and manual control, allowing for meticulous focusing adjustments.

• Super Multi-Layer Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting, thereby enhancing contrast and color fidelity, especially in challenging lighting conditions.

• Versatile Compatibility: Can be used with both DSLRs and mirrorless cameras, utilizing adapters for flexible application across different camera systems.

• Optical design delivering ultra-high-resolution and minimized chromatic aberrations - In addition to optimized power distribution, this lens features two SLD (Super Low Dispersion) glass elements and two FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements. These technologies help minimize chromatic aberrations, which tend to appear in the bokeh area outside of focus in portraits, as well as on slender objects such as fine branches.
• Image quality optimal for ultra-high-megapixel DSLRs - To deliver the ultra-high resolution that brings the best out of 50MP or higher ultra-high-megapixel DSLRs, the focus mechanism features SIGMA’s floating system. No matter what the distance from the subject, this lens offers top performance from the center to the edges of the image.
• 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. 
• 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.
• The large HSM delivers highly responsive autofocus - Delivers ample torque to the focusing group for outstanding speed, ensuring exceptionally stable performance even at lower speeds. Along with the optimized AF algorithm, this feature delivers fast autofocus photography. In addition, the focus limiter makes AF highly responsive to distance from the subject for even more nimble performance.
• Fast AF with full-time manual focus - Full-time manual focus function allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus ring.
• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing* to protect the mount from dust and water drops.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
• 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.
