To increase stability, this lens configuration uses movable internal lens elements that adjust focus without changing the length of the lens barrel.
The lens incorporates an inner zoom. With their unchanging barrel length, these lenses also enhance balance and stability for the photographer. Furthermore, since the front of the lens does not rotate, polarizing filters can be used with extra convenience.
HLA is Sigma\'s proprietary linear motor. It drives the focus lens directly without going through gears or other mechanical parts, resulting in quiet, high-precision autofocusing.
Matching the optical characteristics of the lens, this function performs in-camera corrections of peripheral illumination, chromatic aberrations, distortion, and more, to further enhance image quality. *Function available on supported cameras only. Available corrections or auto correction functionality may vary depending on the camera model. *On cameras where lens aberration correction is controlled with \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ON\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' or \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'OFF\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' in the camera menu, please set all aberration correction functions to \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'ON\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'(AUTO).
The super multi-layer coating is combined with Sigma\'s unique coating technology \"NPC (Nano Porous Coating)\". The lens has been designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight. \"NPC (Nano Porous Coating)\" incorporates porous silica as the coating material. The porous silica layer has nano-sized holes with air inside. Having holes of this size enables a large reduction in the refractive index, allowing the reflectance to be lowered more than conventional anti-reflective coatings. As a result, reflected light causing flares and ghosting is sharply reduced, achieving clear image quality.
Sigma\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s own Super Multi-Layer Coating suppresses flare and ghosting by preventing reflections with in the lens. All lenses in the current Sigma range feature this original technology. In digital cameras, flare and ghosting may also be caused by reflections between the image sensor and lens surfaces. Here too, Sigma\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Super Multi-Layer Coating is highly ef fective, assuring images of outstanding contrast.
Water- and oil-repellent coating
Aperture ring, designed to help users work intuitively
Mounted with a de-click function for removing clicks by the aperture ring click switch, enabling seamless operations that are especially useful such as during video shooting.
A ring lock system to prevent from unintended movement of the aperture ring during shooting.
the AFL button can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.
Using this swich, it is possible to switch the focus mode between AF and MF.
A focus movement method of interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras (DN lens) in relation to the rotational angle of the focus ring during manual focusing. With \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"non-linear focus,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" the amount of focal point movement varies depending on the focus ring rotational speed. With linear focus, if the focus ring rotational angle is the same, the amount of focal point movement remains the same regardless of the focus ring rotational speed.
This lens features a highly effective dust and splash resistant structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection. *Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof, so please prevent large amounts of water from splashing on the lens. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism, lens elements and electric components if they are damaged by water.
