| Telephoto zoom lens incorporates Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function |
|
| This telephoto zoom lens incorporates Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower. The minimum focusing distance of 150cm (59.1") throughout the entire zoom range and maximum magnification of 1:4.2 make it useful for close-up photography. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for chromatic aberration. This lens is equipped with a rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focusing capability. It is also possible to attach the optional APO Tele Converters. |

| Sigma's own unique OS (Optical Stabilizer) technology |
|
The lens is equipped with Sigma's own unique OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This function uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera and works by moving an optical image stabilizer lens group to effectively compensate for camera shake. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower. Mode 1 is ideal for general photography, and Mode 2 is effective on moving subjects such as motor sports etc.
*Pentax and Sony mounts are not incorporated with OS function. |

| Excellent Optical Performance |
|
| Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide the correction for axial chromatic aberration. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. This lens is equipped with a rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. |

|
This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring.
*AF will not function if the Sony and Pentax camera bodies do not support HSM. |
|
| APO Tele-Converter (Optional) |
|
The addition of the optical 1.4x EX DG APO or 2x EX DG APO Tele Converters produce a 168-560mm F6.3-8 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens or a 240-800mm F9-11 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens respectively.
* The Pentax mount Tele Converter is not compatible with this particular lens. |
