Excellent resolution even at maximum aperture
By adopting an optical design of 19 elements in 14 groups, including 2 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements, axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration, which are easily noticeable in telephoto lenses, are thoroughly corrected, achieving exceptionally high optical performance. Even at wide-open aperture, it delivers finely detailed rendering that maintains high resolution and contrast from the center to the edges of the frame.
Impressive portraits made possible by the exceptional bokeh
With the large bokeh enabled by the F2 aperture, which boasts twice the light amount of F2.8, and the compression effect of the 200mm focal length, the lens delivers a gorgeous background blur that brings out the subject, achieving a unique expression. Combined with its exceptional optical performance, it makes it possible to take impressive portraits like no other.
Also powerful for indoor sports photography
The F2 brightness allows for a faster shutter speed even in low-light environments, making it a powerful tool for indoor sports photography. The large bokeh enhances the movements and expressions of the athletes, creating dynamic images, and with the high-speed AF made possible by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor and Optical Stabilization (OS), that decisive moment is not missed, even in fast-moving sports scenes.
Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
Using advanced simulation technology, flare and ghosting have been largely eliminated, ensuring that the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions. In addition, Sigma’s Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating have been applied to further suppress flare and ghosting.
HLA-driven high-speed AF
The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor is incorporated, achieving high-speed AF. It combines accelerated focusing speed with outstanding accuracy.
Powerful optical stabilization using the OS2 algorithm
HLA-driven high-speed AF
The OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides an outstanding image stabilization effect of 6.5 stops*1. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for general shooting, and Mode 2 is ideal for panning shots of motorsports and other sports. In Mode 2, Sigma’s Intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed for panning shots, enables effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal and vertical orientation. This ensures that the subject’s movement can be captured without losing the panning shot effect.

Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance
The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather.
Weatherability of Sigma’s Sports line specifications
Newly designed tripod socket
A new tripod socket, TS-171, has been designed with its use as a carrying handle in mind, featuring a longer base and wider spacing between it and the lens. The tripod ring incorporates a 90° click mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure rotation, and the foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps.
Weatherability of Sigma’s Sports line specifications
The mount joints, manual focus ring, zoom ring, custom switches and other control switches, and exterior joints are all protected from dust and splash by a dust- and splash-resistant structure*. Further, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere to the lens.
Equipped with various functions to support shooting
There are various functions to support shooting, including AFL buttons in three different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS switch (Mode 1/2), and a custom mode switch.

MTF CHART
The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) is one of the measurements for evaluating a lens’ performance, and it shows how faithfully the contrast of the subject can be reproduced on the image plane. The horizontal axis shows the image height (distance from the center of the image in mm) and the vertical axis shows the contrast value (maximum value is 1).
The closer the 10 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the higher the contrast and clarity of the lens is, and similarly, the closer the 30 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the better the resolution and sharpness of the lens is.
*The MTF chart depicts the result at the wide-open aperture.
*For mirrorless lenses that support distortion correction, the horizontal axis shows the image height equivalent to when an L-Mount lens is attached to a Sigma L-Mount camera with distortion correction applied. (The effect of distortion correction may differ depending on the mount and camera used.)
*The spatial frequency indicates the variation on the image plane before distortion correction is performed.

GEOMETRICAL MTF


HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)
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.
OS (Optical Stabilizer) function
Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function uses sensors inside the lens to detect any motion, then moves specific lens elements in order to effectively minimize blur caused by such movement. Owing to the stabilized image in the viewfinder, it is possible to fine-tune composition and ensure accurate focusing.
OS2
OS2 is the newly developed optical stabilizer algorithm. Compared to the previous algorithm used by Sigma lenses, OS2 improves the effect of optical stabilization significantly.
Nano Porous Coating
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.
Water and oil repellent coating
Incorporates a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.
Aperture ring
Aperture ring, designed to help users work intuitively
Aperture ring click switch
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.
Aperture ring lock switch
A ring lock system to prevent from unintended movement of the aperture ring during shooting.
AFL button
The AFL button can be assigned with various functions widens the range of operations available on the lens.
Focus Mode Switch
Dust and Splash Resistant Structure
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.
