Sigma LENS CATALOGUE

LENS TECHNOLOGY

Hyper-Sonic Motor (HSM):

HSM lenses are equipped with a motor driven by ultrasonic waves.
The motor makes high AF speeds and quiet shooting a reality.

Rear Focus:

RF lenses are equipped with a focusing system that moves the rear
lens group for high-speed, silent focusing.

Inner Focus:

IF lenses are equipped with a focusing system that moves the inner
lens group without changing the physical length of the lens, thereby
ensuring excellent stability in focusing.

Teleconverter-Compatible Lens (CONV):

The “CONV” mark designates lenses that can be used with the APO
Teleconverter EX (sold separately). The teleconverter increases the
focal length and interfaces with the AE (automatic exposure) function
of the lens.

EX Lens:

With uncompromised design ideas and high-level optical technology
and handling, these lenses, which are Sigma’s representative lenses,
meet the requirements of photographers at the highest level.

Aspherical Lens:

The aspherical lens complex allows freedom of design, with high lens
performance, reduced number of components, and compact size.

APO Lens:

Using SLD, ELD, and other special low-dispersion glass, these lenses
are designed to minimize chromatic aberration and deliver the best
image quality possible.

Optical Stabilizer (OS):

This is a feature built into lenses that compensates for camera shake.
It dramatically expands the realms of photography by alleviating
camera movement when shooting handheld.

DC Lens

These are dedicated digital SLR camera lenses with an image circle
designed to suit image sensors that correspond to APS-C size. In­house technology accumulated through the development of our digital
SLR camera was used to optimize optical performance for our digital
lenses. This is a high-performance lens series that fuses technology such
as lens power layout and coating design with the know-how Sigma has
built up over many years of developing interchangeable lenses for SLR
cameras. By reducing the diameter of the image circle, Sigma has
achieved a more compact, lightweight lens series.

* An image sensor larger than those corresponding to the APS-C size cannot be used in digital
SLR cameras, 35 mm SLR cameras, or APS film SLR cameras. If such an element is used,
vignetting will occur on the picture surface.
The angle of view varies depending on which camera model the lens is used with.
35mm format is approximately 1.5 - 2.0 times the focal length of the lens being used.

DG Lenss

These are high-performance lenses optimized for digital cameras.
They are ideal not only for 35 mm digital SLR cameras and film digital
SLR cameras but also for APS-C digital SLR cameras. They deliver
superior image quality by correcting for all types of aberration,
especially distortion, and they have high resolution capability because
they minimize chromatic aberration of magnification, which is
particularly a problem for digital cameras. What is more, these lenses
incorporate optical designs optimized for digital cameras and Sigma‘s own
Super Multi-Layer Coating technology, so they reduce flare and
ghosting due to reflection between the image sensor and lens
surfaces, and they provide high contrast and a wide range of tone.
They also provide enough peripheral brightness with little vignetting.

Sigma lens technology--what photographers always rely on when they want to express themselves through images.

Sigma is always developing state-of-the-art optical technology to draw out the maximum possibilities of
single-lens reflex cameras and give photographers the tools they need to do exactly what they want,
and the fruits of that development are embodied in each and every Sigma lens.

DC LENS FOR DIGITAL SLR CAMERA

These lenses are specially designed to optimize the characteristics of APS-C digital SLR cameras.
They have a reduced image circle for a compact and lightweight construction.

The angle of view varies depending on which camera model the lens is used with. 35mm format is approximately 1.5 - 2.0 times the focal length of the lens being used.

18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS/HSM

This is a large-aperture standard
zoom lens for digital cameras that
has an open-aperture value of F2.8
(at 17 mm setting) and covers the
most frequently used focal lengths.
It can shoot subjects as close as 20
cm (7.9 inches) away, making it a
powerful tool for close-up
photography. It’s also an ideal all­around lens for photographing
subjects like landscapes,snapshots,
and other everyday scenes. SLD
(Special Low Dispersion) glass and
aspherical lens elements are used
for high image quality throughout
the entire zoom range. A Super
Multi-Layer Coating is used to
reduce the occurrence of flare and
ghosting and display high
performance across the entire
focusing range.

This is an ultra-wide zoom lens for
digital SLR camera use only, ideal
for capturing the grandeur of
landscapes and images with
unique perspectives. Because it
has a minimum focusing distance
of only 24 cm, a small nearby
subject can be shot against a far­off background. SLD (Special
Low Dispersion) glass and
aspherical lens elements are used
for high image quality throughout
the entire zoom range. The HSM
model makes fast AF speeds and
quiet shooting a reality.

This is a standard zoom lens for
digital cameras with a compact and
lightweight construction. It has
excellent portability, so it reduces
footwork. The use of aspherical
lenses provide correction for all
types of aberration and makes high­quality images a reality throughout
the entire zoom range. High in
practicality, it can beautifullycapture
a wide range of photo subjects.
The lens has a minimum focusing
distance of 25 cm (9.8 inches) at all
focal lengths and is capable of
macro photography with a
maximum magnification of 1:3.5.

This is a large-aperture standard
zoom lens for digital camera use
only, with a fast open-aperture
value of F2.8 throughout the entire
zoom range. SLD glass, ELDglass,
and an aspherical lens enable this
lens to be housed in a compact size
and also maximize its performance.
A SuperMulti-Layer Coating is used
to minimize the occurrence of flare
and ghosting. The lens is ideal for
snapshots but can handle a wide
range of uses including portraits,
group photos, architectural and
landscape photography. It has a
minimum focusing distance of 20
cm (7.9 inches) throughout the
entire zoom range and a maximum
magnification of 1:3.0, making it

across the diagonal of 180° when
used with a Nikon camera (or 154°
with a Sigma camera or 167° with
a Canon camera). This lens allows
photographers to shoot creative
images by taking advantage of the
acute perspectives that are invisible
to the human eye and the image
distortion specific to fisheye lenses.
A maximum magnification of 1:3.3
and minimum focusing distance of

13.5 cm (5.3 inches) allows it to
focus on subjects that are only 1.8
cm away. It has a specially designed
fixed hood and a Super Multi­Layer Coating to cut down on the
occurrence of flare and ghosting
and display excellent image quality.

digital SLR camera. It’s an ideal
lens for landscapes and panoramic
photography. Because of its
equisolid angle projection system,
the lens can be used for scientific
applications. It has a minimum
focusing distance of 13.5 cm (5.3
inches) and a maximum
magnification of 1:6. SLD (Special
Low Dispersion) glass is used for
superior correction of chromatic
aberration, and a Super Multi­Layer Coating is used to minimize
the occurrence of flare and
ghosting. The HSM model makes

This is a large-aperture standard
lens for digital cameras, with a fast
F1.4 aperture that makes handheld
shooting in dim light possible. Using
the out-of-focus effects of a shallow
depth of f ield, the photographer can
enjoy shooting snapshots, portraits,
or landscapes. SLD (Special Low
Dispersion) glass, ELD
(Extraordinary Low Dispersion)
glass, and aspherical lens elements
are used to obtain the best possible
correction for chromatic aberration
and sharp image quality across the
entire focusing range from 40 cm
to infinity. The HSM model makes
