High-performance super-telephoto lens with optical image stabilizer, fast focusing, and outstanding optics to deliver excellent image quality across the entire imaging range.
With this super telephoto lens, you can get extra close to the scene and capture photos with outstanding image quality. The "500mm F4 DG OS HSM Sport" incorporates Sigmas latest technologies and offers dust and splash protection as well as an AF function switch and the fast Hyper-Sonic-Motor (HSM) in addition to an optical stabilizer.
The lens especially plays to its strengths in fast action shots. Bird photography, nature and portrait shots are possible in excellent quality. The lens is also an excellent partner in difficult and rough shooting situations thanks to its robustness. A coating is applied to the rear and front lens elements, thanks to which water can be easily wiped away and oil or grease will not stick to the surface. Thanks to the magnesium alloy from which the barrel is made, the weight has been minimized.
A lens hood made of sturdy and lightweight carbon fiber is included. Two FLD and one SLD glass elements minimize longitudinal chromatic aberration and spherical aberration, and with the optical design, lateral chromatic aberration is also reduced, giving you excellent image quality across the entire image range. With the optical image stabilizer, up to four stops can be compensated for thanks to the accelerometer sensor, and camera shake is a thing of the past. With two different modes, you are well equipped for both normal photography and shooting fast-moving subjects (such as moving cars).
The AF function switch allows you to set the autofocus individually. Thanks to the Hyper Sonic Motor, focusing is quiet and fast. With the nine aperture blades as well as the round aperture opening, a soft and pleasant bokeh is achieved even outside the image focus plane. Flare and ghosting are reduced by the Super Multi Layer (SML) coating, resulting in high-contrast and sharp images.
