More Details:

• True 1:1 Magnification: Perfect for capturing life-size images of nature, products, and intricate details.
• Exceptional Optical Quality: Advanced design reduces aberrations, ensuring sharp, color-accurate images.
• Fast f/2.8 Aperture: Enhances low-light performance and creates beautiful bokeh effects.
• Smooth Focus-by-Wire System: Offers precise and controlled manual focusing.
• Durable Weather-Sealed Construction: Ideal for outdoor shooting, resistant to dust, moisture, and splashes.
• Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm: Produces aesthetically pleasing bokeh highlights.
• Comprehensive Optical Construction: Includes 16 elements in 12 groups with specialized elements to enhance image quality.
• Super Multi-Layer Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting for clearer images.
• Coreless DC Motor Autofocus: Ensures fast and accurate focusing.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: Easy to handle, enhancing the shooting experience.

• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
