Premium Optics in a Portable Body

Engineered for everyday use with a premium build, this lens includes an internal focusing system driven by a stepping AF motor, delivering fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus for both stills and video. The optical formula features one SLD element and three aspherical elements to control distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring sharpness and clarity across the frame. A Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, while the rounded 9-blade diaphragm creates soft, natural bokeh in out-of-focus areas. Like other lenses in Sigma’s I Series, it boasts a dust- and splash-resistant construction, brass bayonet mount, and all-metal housing — making it not only a practical everyday lens but a durable one, built for both creative control and lasting performance.
