success on any shoot.

OS functionality, newly designed HSM, dust/splash-proof construction, electromagnetic aperture control (for Nikon)*, and more

This lens has all the features and functions photographers need to be successful on a wide variety of shoots. In addition to outstanding image quality, this lens offers autofocus, construction that minimizes the incursion of dust and debris, an optical stabilizer (OS) function, and more. To make this lens as easy to use as possible by photographers in all fields, it features not only SIGMA’s most advanced mechanical systems but also the company’s latest software.

SIGMA’s Art line: a focus on high resolution

The large-diameter standard zoom ideal for today’s ultra-high-megapixel digital cameras

To fulfil the uncompromising image quality standard of the Art line, this lens features a power distribution that has been optimized in exacting detail. This is the lens for those who desire consistent resolution at maximum F2.8 brightness or lower and complete control of the beautiful bokeh effect.

Smooth bokeh and minimised flare.

The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.

From an early stage in the lens design process, flare and ghosting have been measured to establish an optical design resistant to strong incident light sources such as backlighting. SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions.

Made in Japan

All Sigma products, lenses, cameras and flash units are manufactured exclusively by Sigma in Sigma’s own factory in Aizu, Japan. No Sigma Corporation product – lens, camera or flash – is manufactured outside of Japan. This is very unusual these days, as most companies have at least some of their products produced outside of Japan because of cost considerations.

There's a reason why SIGMA continues to insist on the very highest quality in its product manufacturing: our love of photography is second to none.

We deeply appreciate the photographer's desire to record and express—the passion of the photographer.

We understand the need to capture the moment that gives rise to a unique work
