User manual SIGMA LENS CATALOGUE

[. . . ] LENS TECHNOLOGY Sigma lens technology-- what photographers always rely on when they want to express themselves through images. Sigma is always developing state-of-the-art optical technology to draw out the maximum possibilities of single-lens reflex cameras and give photographers the tools they need to do exactly what they want, and the fruits of that development are embodied in each and every Sigma lens. SIGMA High-Performance Lens Series DC Lens These are dedicated digital SLR camera lenses with an image circle designed to suit image sensors that correspond to APS-C size. Inhouse technology accumulated through the development of our digital SLR camera was used to optimize optical performance for our digital lenses. This is a high-performance lens series that fuses technology such as lens power layout and coating design with the know-how Sigma has built up over many years of developing interchangeable lenses for SLR cameras. By reducing the diameter of the image circle, Sigma has achieved a more compact, lightweight lens series. * An image sensor larger than those corresponding to the APS-C size cannot be used in digital SLR cameras, 35 mm SLR cameras, or APS film SLR cameras. [. . . ] The lens is easy to hold and use because its length does not change during focusing or zooming. The HSM model makes fast AF speeds and quiet shooting a reality, and is also capable of full-time manual focus. ·Lens Construction; 14 Groups, 16 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 180 cm (70. 9 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:5 ·Filter Size; ø 82 mm APO 120-300 m F2. 8 EX DG HSM m We added a zoom to a wellestablished 300 mm F2. 8 highperformance telephoto lens to create this large-aperture telephoto zoom lens with high mobility. The zoom function allows photographers to easily compose shots when they cannot change their shooting position, so is ideal for sports action, animals in the wild, and other decisive moments. It is also perfect for portraits as beautifully out-of-focus backgrounds are obtained with an open aperture of F2. 8. SLD(Special Low Dispersion) glass is used for superior correction of chromatic aberration and high image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The lens is equipped with HSM for fast AF and quiet shooting with full-time manual focus. * With a teleconverter mounted on the lens, the zoom range is 100 mm ­ 500 mm. ·Lens Construction; 15 Groups, 18 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 100 cm (39. 4 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:3. 5 ·Filter Size; ø 77 mm ·Lens Construction; 16 Groups, 18 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 150 ­ 250 cm (59. 1 ­ 98. 4 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:8. 6 ·Filter Size; ø 105 mm TELEPHOTO LENS This is a lineup of telephoto lenses that bring faraway subjects right in front of the camera and create shots that make an impact. Because of the compression effect of a long focal length, even space is part of the photographer's palette of expression. APO 120-300mm F2. 8 EX DG HSM APO 120-400 m F4. 5-5. 6 DG HSM m APO 120-400 m F4. 5-5. 6 DG OS HSM m This is a telephoto zoom lens equipped with Sigma's own Camera Shake Compensation OS (Optical Stabilizer) System. The Optical Stabilizer has two modes to choose from: Mode 1 is ideal for general photography, and Mode 2 is best for panning. With a minimum focusing distance of 150 cm and a maximum magnification of 1:4. 2, the lens is a powerful tool for close-up photography. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass is used for correction of chromatic aberration, and the rear focusing system corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. The lens is equipped with HSM for fast and quiet AF with full-time manual focus. It also accommodates optional APO Tele Converters. APO 150-500 m F5-6. 3 DG HSM m m APO 150-500 m F5-6. 3 DG OS HSM This is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens that allows photographers to freely play with the ability of telephoto lenses to bring the subject closer and shorten perspective. It is equipped with Sigma's own Camera Shake Compensation OS (Optical Stabilizer) System, so handheld photography is worryfree. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass is used for superior correction of chromatic aberrations, and the rear focusing system effectively corrects for fluctuation of aberration due to focusing. The lens is equipped with HSM for fast AF speeds and quiet shooting, and is capable of full-time manual focus override. It also accommodates optional APO Tele Converters. APO 500mm F4. 5 EX DG HSM APO 300 m F2. 8 EX DG m APO 300 m F2. 8 EX DG HSM m This is a high-performance telephoto lens with an established reputation. It can handle a wide range of uses, including sports, portraits, and telephoto photography. ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass is used for maximum correction of chromatic aberration and for sharp, highcontrast images. A Super MultiLayer Coating is used to minimize the occurrence of flare and ghosting. The HSM model makes fast AF speeds and quiet shooting a reality, and allows full-time manual focus. The lens takes a rear insertion type filter with its own revolving ring, as well as a circular polarizing filter. It also accommodates optional APO Tele Converters. ·Lens Construction; 15 Groups, 21 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 150 cm (59. 1 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:4. 2 ·Filter Size; ø 77 mm ·Lens Construction; 15 Groups, 21 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 220 cm (86. 6 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:5. 2 ·Filter Size; ø 86 mm ·Lens Construction; 9 Groups, 11 Elements ·Minimum Focusing Distance; 250 cm (98. 4 in. ) ·Magnification; 1:7. 5 ·Filter Size; ø 46 mm (Rear) APO 200-500 m F2. 8 / m 400-1000 m F5. 6 EX DG m This is the first large-aperture ultratelephoto lens that has an F2. 8 aperture at 500mm. [. . . ] AF will not function if the Pentax camera bodies do not support HSM. Pentax and Sony mounts are not incorporated with OS function. ·The angle of view varies depending on the camera the lens is mounted on. ·The minimum shooting distance is measured from the image plane. ·The data for maximum diameter x length, weight and minimum aperture setting (f/-stop) was The Major Distinguishing Characteristics of SIGMA Lenses AF (AUTO FOCUS) for SIGMA 12­24mm F4. 5­5. 6 EX DG ASPHERICAL / HSM * 24­60mm F2. 8 EX DG *3 24­70mm F2. 8 EX DG MACRO 28­70mm F2. 8 EX DG *2 28­70mm F2. 8­4 DG 28­300mm F3. 5­6. 3 DG MACRO 50­500mm F4­6. 3 APO EX DG / HSM * 70­200mm F2. 8 II APO EX DG MACRO HSM * 70­300mm F4­5. 6 APO DG MACRO * 70­300mm F4­5. 6 DG MACRO * 100­300mm F4 APO EX DG / HSM 120­300mm F2. 8 APO EX DG HSM 120­400mm F4. 5­5. 6 APO DG OS HSM *2 150­500mm F5­6. 3 APO DG OS HSM *2 200­500mm F2. 8 / 400-1000mm F5. 6 APO EX DG 300­800mm F5. 6 APO EX DG HSM 8mm F3. 5 EX DG CIRCULAR FISHEYE *2 15mm F2. 8 EX DG DIAGONAL FISHEYE 20mm F1. 8 EX DG ASPHERICAL RF 24mm F1. 8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO 28mm F1. 8 EX DG ASPHERICAL MACRO 50mm F1. 4 EX DG HSM *2 50mm F2. 8 EX DG MACRO 70mm F2. 8 EX DG MACRO *2 105mm F2. 8 EX DG MACRO 150mm F2. 8 APO MACRO EX DG HSM * 180mm F3. 5 APO MACRO EX DG / HSM 300mm F2. 8 APO EX DG / HSM 500mm F4. 5 APO EX DG / HSM 800mm F5. 6 APO EX DG / HSM 200404 H 547400 548407 549404 634407 795405 736408 H 579562 H 508401 509408 134563 H 135560 H 728564 H 737566 H 597566 595562 H 485405 476403 411404 432409 440404 310561 H 346409 270568 257408 104566 H 105563 H 195564 H 184568 H 152567 H for Sony 200343 D 547349 D 548346 D 549343 D 634346 D 795344 D 736347 579623 H 508340 509347 134341 D -- 728625 H 737627 H -- -- 485344 D 476342 411343 D 432348 D 440343 D 310622 H 346348 270346 D 257347 -- 105341 195342 184346 152345 AF Mount / UPC Code (please add 0085126 prefix in front) for Nikon 200558 H 547448 548445 549442 634445 795443 736552 H 579555 H 508555 M 509552 M 134556 H 135553 H 728557 H 737559 H 597559 595555 H 485597 476441 411442 432447 440442 310554 H 346447 270599 257446 104559 H 105556 H 195557 H 184551 H 152550 H for Pentax* 200459 547455 548452 549459 634452 795450 736453 579616 H 508456 509453 134457 -- 728618 H 737610 H -- -- 485603 476458 411459 432454 440459 310615 H 346454 270605 257453 -- 105457 195458 184452 152451 for Canon 200275 H 547271 548278 549275 634278 795276 736279 H 579548 H 508272 509279 134549 H 135546 H 728540 H 737542 H 597542 595548 H 485276 476274 411275 432270 440275 310547 H 346270 270544 257279 104542 H 105549 H 195540 H 184544 H 152543 H Four Thirds -- -- -- -- -- -- 736583 H 579586 H -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 595586 H -- -- -- 432584 -- -- -- -- 257583 104580 H -- -- -- -- APO Tele Converter 1. 4x -- -- -- -- -- -- MF AF -- -- AF AF MF MF -- MF -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- AF*1(MF) AF*2 (MF) AF MF MF Lens Construction Groups 12 15 13 12 8 13 16 15 10 10 14 16 15 15 13 16 6 6 11 9 9 6 9 9 10 12 10 9 8 9 2x -- -- -- -- -- -- MF AF -- -- MF AF MF MF -- MF -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- MF MF AF MF MF Elements 16 16 14 14 11 15 20 18 14 14 16 18 21 21 17 18 11 7 13 10 10 8 10 10 11 16 13 11 11 12 Dimensions Angle of view Number of Minimum Angle of view Minimum Focusing Filter Size Diameter Length (35 mm blades in Aperture Magnification (SD format) / Distance (cm / in. ) (o mm) / / (o mm mm /o in.
