Fixed Tripod Socket
This lens features a large and extremely stable tripod collar with 90° click stops, making it easy to switch between vertical and horizontal shooting positions.
Dust- and Splash-proof Construction
Weather sealing throughout the lens body keeps rain, splashes and dust from entering the lens, ensuring years of trouble-free performance.
Water and Oil-Repellent Coating
Allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oils from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions.
Hypersonic Motor
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) delivers high autofocus speed and extremely smooth, quiet performance.
Rounded Diaphragm
The rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
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.
Made In Japan
All SIGMA's manufacturing – right down to the molds and parts – is carried out under an integrated production system, entirely in Japan.

Make sure you get your 4-Year Warranty
All SIGMA lenses come with a 4-Year Warranty in the US, but only if you buy from SIGMA America directly or a SIGMA Authorized Dealer. Grey market importers undercut legitimate retailers, deceive well-intentioned customers, and sell products that are ultimately not eligible for warranty service. Make sure you are buying from a trusted source so your lens is covered!
