Sigma 100-400/5-6,3 DG DN OS [C] Sony-E (750965) Contemporary

Features:

• for mirrorless full-frame cameras
• smooth recordings
• high-resolution quality
• image stabilization
• rotary and sliding zoom

Thanks to the special adjustment to cameras with a short back focus, the SIGMA DG-DN lens series offers an outstanding combination of optical performance and compactness, which would not have been possible with lenses for SLR cameras. Thanks to the stepper motor optimized for both phase detection AF and contrast AF, the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary absolutely smooth recordings with video and eye tracking AF. This lens will further expand the possibilities of photography with mirrorless cameras.

*  Product designations ｜ The abbreviations DG and DN indicate that the lens is suitable for full-frame cameras and is only designed for mirrorless cameras (with a short back focus).

Unprecedented picture quality

The new lens is based on the latest optical design technology and is optimized for mirrorless systems. The lens construction of the SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary consists of 16 groups and 22 elements. These include an FLD lens and four SLD lenses, which are used to effectively correct aberrations and distortion. It therefore delivers consistent high-resolution quality from the center of the image to the edges of the image - at any focal length, from 100mm to 400mm. In conjunction with the new SIGMA Tele-Converters TC-1411 and TC-2011 (optionally available and only for L-Mount), which were also developed exclusively for use on mirrorless cameras, the SIGMA delivers 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary then gave the photographer a “super telephoto angle” with a focal length of up to 800mm. In addition, the AF is retained in combination with the tele-converters. The advantages of a compact system are also not lost. The station wagon remains powerful and compact.

Extensive functionality that ensures the professional and simple implementation of ultra-telephoto recordings

The stepper motor, optimized according to the latest algorithm, ensures fast and smooth AF. The SIGMA 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary also has a powerful optical image stabilization (OS) that compensates for up to four exposure levels. In combination with an image stabilization inside the camera, rotations of the pitch and yaw axis are corrected and thus an even stronger image stabilization is achieved. The "dual action zoom" of the lens means that the lens can be used both as a rotary and a sliding zoom, allowing photographers to adjust the angle of view even more intuitively and quickly. It has an AFL button, which can be assigned selected functions on the camera side, as well as a focus area limiter switch, with which the AF area can be limited to its respective recording areas and thus optimized. The compatibility of the lens with the new optionally available SIGMA USB-DOCK UD-11 (only for L-Mount), which was also specially developed for mirrorless systems, underlines the professional and functional design of the lens. In conjunction with the USB dock and the associated SIGMA Optimization Pro software, the amount of focus movement when operating the focus ring, for example, can be adjusted to allow the focus to work at its preferred pace in MF mode.

As a goal, SIGMA did not just want to add a light and compact ultra-telephoto zoom lens to the contemporary product line with the new 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Contemporary. The new lens should also be professional and durable. With this lens, great care was taken to install selected, high-quality materials. For example, the components to which a tripod clamp can be attached are made of a robust and dimensionally stable magnesium alloy. The tripod clamp is optionally available. By using a tripod clamp, the stress on the connection points is reduced and nothing stands in the way of using a tripod for a long time.
