Sigma 50-500mm f4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Lens - Canon Fit

This lens is ideal for many types of photography such as motor sport, aeroplanes, close-up and wildlife. By rotating the zoom ring, it is possible to change the focal length easily from a standard focal length to an ultra telephoto range.

The lens is equipped with Sigma’s own unique OS (Optical Stabiliser) function. This system offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower than would otherwise be possible, making telephoto shooting easy. Mode 1 is ideal for general photography and Mode 2 is designed for panning subjects such as racing cars.

This lens features four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements, providing excellent correction of colour aberration throughout the entire zoom range. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting and ensures high contrast images. This lens is equipped with a read focus system that minimises fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing.

This lens has a maximum magnification of 1:3.1 (at the focal length of 200mm). It enables photographers to get close up to small subjects and eliminate distracting parts of larger subjects.

The rear focus mechanism and HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed AF as well as full time manual focus capability.

The addition of the optical 1.4x EX DG APO or 2x EX DG APO Tele Converters produce a 70-700mm F6.3-8.8 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens or a 100-1000mm F9-12.6 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens respectively.

This lens features a Zoom Lock device to eliminate “zoom creep” when the lens is tilted down. When the lens is set to the 50mm focal length, it is remarkably compact and provides easy handling. A removable tripod socket (TS-31) is included making it convenient for handheld photography. The Rear Focus mechanism makes it possible to use the custom bayonet "Petal-type Hood" which prevents extraneous light from degrading the image quality. The lens has a 95mm filter thread and is also supplied with a step down ring enabling digital cameras with an APS-C size image sensor to use an 86mm diameter filter.
