Smooth AF Ideal for Video Shooting

The combination of optical design and the stepping motor ensures smooth and quiet autofocus. This lens is also compatible with hybrid autofocus systems, delivering precise AF tracking. Using face or eye recognition AF, the lens will continuously focus on the face or eye, even if the subject moves during the shoot.

High-Precision, Rugged Brass Bayonet Mount

The brass bayonet mount offers both high precision and rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the lens’s exceptional durability.

Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure

The mount features special sealing to protect the lens. This makes it an excellent choice for shooting in a variety of conditions.

Impressively Compact Construction with Image Quality Rivaling SIGMA’s Art Line

To achieve a compact design, SIGMA optimized the lens to work with the camera's ability to correct peripheral light and distortion. Additionally, an SLD glass element efficiently corrects axial color aberration, which is difficult to fix with image processing. This combination of compactness and superb image quality rivals SIGMA's Art line lenses.

Designed to Minimize Flare and Ghosting

Flare and ghosting were carefully measured during the design process to create an optical system resistant to strong incident light, like backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring sharp and high-contrast images, even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood helps block extraneous light that can negatively affect performance.

Rounded Diaphragm

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates beautiful, smooth blur in out-of-focus areas of the image.
