Sigma 100-400mm Lens: The Ultimate Blend of Portability and Performance

Overview:

The Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens stands out as a highly versatile telephoto zoom lens, crafted specifically for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It strikes an excellent balance by offering portability, superior performance, and affordability, making it a top choice for both travel photography and everyday shooting scenarios. Notably lightweight and compact for its extensive focal range, it ensures high-resolution, contrast-rich images across the entire zoom spectrum, even with a variable aperture. The lens employs advanced low dispersion glass elements to significantly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring crisp and clear photos. Its built-in optical image stabilization is capable of compensating up to four stops of camera shake, extending to five stops for Fujifilm X Mount users, enabling sharper images in handheld use or when mounted on a tripod.

The integration of a stepping motor for autofocus combines speed with silence, ideal for capturing swift moments without disturbing the scene. Furthermore, its weather-sealed construction offers reliability in diverse conditions. With these features, coupled with a convenient focal length range and robust build, the Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary Lens is an enticing choice for photographers looking to elevate their telephoto shooting experience without the bulk typically associated with such lenses.

More details:

• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The mount features a special sealing to make the lens an excellent choice in a wide variety of conditions.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions.
• A full range of functionalities that enables smooth and easy ultra-telephoto shooting - When combined with a camera body with image stabilization built in, the lens corrects for pitch and yaw axis rotations, providing even more powerful image stabilization.
• Lightweight & Compact lens body - It is not merely about weight reduction, but the lens is durable, with careful selections to utilize the right materials in the right place. For instance, magnesium alloy is used for the part where a tripod socket is attached, which needs to be very strong.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
• Compatible with Lens Aberration Correction - 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.
• SIGMA's 5th DG DN lens with an exclusive new design for full-frame mirrorless cameras - With the optics design specifically for a camera with a short flange back distance, the DG DN series of lenses achieves a supreme combination of optical performance and compactness that could not have been possible with lenses for single-lens reflex cameras. Thanks to the stepping motor system that is optimized for both phase-detection AF and contrast AF, the lens makes shooting with the video or eye-tracking AF very smooth.
