More Details:

• Constant f/1.8 Aperture: Experience unparalleled low-light performance and beautiful bokeh with the fastest zoom in its class.
• Exceptional Image Quality: Part of Sigma's esteemed Art series, this lens guarantees sharp, color-accurate images with minimal distortion.

• FLD glass, SLD glass, and high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass help minimize aberrations - To help minimize axial and transverse chromatic aberration, this lens features an optimal arrangement of three FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) glass elements, one SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element, three high-refractive index SLD glass elements, and one high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass element. By including one or more low-dispersion elements in every element group, this lens ensures outstanding image quality throughout the zoom and focal range.
• Hyper Sonic Motor - To achieve outstanding image quality and F1.8 brightness, SIGMA has enhanced its Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM). As with the previous SIGMA HSM, at any time during AF, users may access MF simply by rotating the focus ring. This feature makes faster focus adjustment possible since there is no need to use the AF/MF focus mode switch. Also, the optional SIGMA USB DOCK allows the user to set the lens to a conventional full-time manual focus override.
• Diaphragm unit designed for smooth operation - The diameter of the diaphragm is the second-largest in the SIGMA lens lineup after that of the SIGMA 200-500mm F2.8 /400-1000mm F5.6 EX DG, necessitating smoother and quicker operation than ever before. To achieve this goal, the diaphragm blades feature Carbon Feather film, and the diaphragm unit features a new polycarbonate made with fluorine. 
• 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.
