MTF CHART
The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) is one of the measurements for evaluating a lens' performance, and it shows how faithfully the contrast of the subject can be reproduced on the image plane. The horizontal axis shows the image height (distance from the center of the image in mm) and the vertical axis shows the contrast value (maximum value is 1).
The closer the 10 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the higher the contrast and clarity of the lens is, and similarly, the closer the 30 line pairs/mm curve is to 1, the better the resolution and sharpness of the lens is.
*The MTF chart depicts the result at the wide-open aperture.
*For mirrorless lenses that support distortion correction, the horizontal axis shows the image height equivalent to when an L-Mount lens is attached to a Sigma L-Mount camera with distortion correction applied. (The effect of distortion correction may differ depending on the mount and camera used.)
*The spatial frequency indicates the variation on the image plane before distortion correction is performed.

Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM)
The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) uses ultrasonic waves to drive the autofocus mechanism. It features extremely quiet operation, high torque, and excellent focusing speed.
OS (Optical Stabilizer) function
SIGMA's OS (Optical Stabilizer) function uses sensors inside the lens to detect any motion, then moves specific lens elements in order to effectively minimize blur caused by such movement.
Exclusive low-dispersion glass
Careful arrangement of exclusive low-dispersion glass elements gives SIGMA lenses superlative image rendition untarnished by residual chromatic aberration.
Water and oil repellent coating
Incorporates a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and grease from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.
Dust and Splash Resistant Structure
This lens features a highly effective dust and splash resistant structure with special sealing at the mount connection, manual focus ring, zoom ring, and cover connection.
*Although this construction allows the lens to be used in light rain, it is not the same as being waterproof, so please prevent large amounts of water from splashing on the lens. It is often impractical to repair the internal mechanism, lens elements and electric components if they are damaged by water.
Dual Action Zoom
Dual action zoom supports both straight zoom and ring zoom.
Zoom lock switch (any indexed focal length)
This zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at any indexed focal length. It can be fixed at the photographer's desired focal length, which allows stable shooting even when the lens is positioned upward or downward. This feature is also useful during long-exposure photography.
