• Bright f/1.4 Aperture: Excel in low-light conditions and achieve beautiful bokeh, perfect for portraiture and creative photography.
• Rapid and Silent Autofocus: Equipped with HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) for swift, accurate, and quiet autofocus, capturing moments effortlessly.
• Robust and Weather-Sealed: Durable construction with weather sealing ensures reliability in challenging shooting environments.
• Versatile Field of View: The 48mm equivalent perspective is ideal for a wide range of photography, from street scenes to landscapes.
• Super Multi-Layer Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting, enhancing image quality under various lighting conditions.
• Thermally Stable Composite: Ensures consistent performance across temperature changes.
• Compatibility with Sigma USB Dock: Allows for easy firmware updates and lens adjustments, enhancing user control.
• Internal Focusing System: Maintains consistent lens size and performance throughout focusing range.

• HSM (Hypersonic Motor) - Delivers high AF speed and extremely quiet performance. An optimized algorithm offers even smoother automatic focusing, and full-time manual focus override is another key feature.
• Rear Focus system - The lens incorporates a rear focus system that prevents focus-dependent variation in aberration, making high-level image quality possible throughout the entire image. With their unchanging barrel length, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.
• TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) - A first for the industry, the barrel of the lens features a new TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) that offers minimal thermal shrinkage combined with exceptional hardness. It also offers 25% greater elasticity than polycarbonate. Since its thermal shrinkage is low, TSC matches well with metal parts, further contributing to the high-precision construction of the lens. TSC also makes possible slimmer forms for parts like zoom rings and scaling rings.
• Rounded diaphragm - When photographing with point light sources such as electric lights or reflections on a body of water in the background, the rounded 9-blade diaphragm helps produce an attractive bokeh effect—even at large-aperture settings.
• Flare and ghosting reduction - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.
• 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.
