Product Description
Keep up with the action with fast and accurate AF
The SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 Sport Sony FE Mount has been developed with both photography enthusiasts and professionals in mind. By utilising a combination of two dual HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motors and Sigma’s OS2 optical stabilisation algorithm, the lens is able to deliver fast, accurate and near-silent autofocus even for the most challenging fast-action subjects.
Professional performance throughout the entire zoom range.
Designed using ultra-high-performance low-dispersion glass, which includes six FLD and two SLD elements, the SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 Sport Sony FE Mount delivers outstanding image quality throughout the entire zoom range, even wide open at F2.8. Three aspherical glass elements further improve optical performance by reducing spherical aberration. Distortion and vignetting are extremely minimal and chromatic aberration is very well controlled even in high contrast areas.
Effortlessly keep up with the action
The SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 Sport Sony FE Mount features a unique floating focus system. Two focusing groups, each using an HLA motor, move in opposite directions when focusing. This reduces internal movements by half, providing fast, accurate and near-silent AF when shooting fast-paced subjects such as sports, wildlife and aviation, or fleeting moments at weddings and events.
Shooting handheld in low light situations has never been easier, thanks to the use of the exclusive OS2 optical stabilisation algorithm, which provides an incredible 7.5-stop advantage at 70mm and a 5.5 stop-advantage at 200mm. The lens also features two OS modes. Mode 1 can be used for all types of photography. Mode 2 employs SIGMA’s Intelligent OS algorithm for smoother panning shots. Regardless of the lens’s orientation, the stabilisation is effective for both vertical and diagonal movement and doesn’t interfere with the panning motion.
Designed to minimise focus breathing, flare and ghosting
The lens has been designed to suppress focus breathing, meaning that the change in angle-of-view when focusing is minimised. This ensures a natural-looking focus shift when recording video. Highly backlit shooting environments are no trouble thanks to the use of advanced technology simulations and high-quality glass elements that keep flare and ghosting to a minimum.
Compact and robust build-quality
Shoot in challenging weather conditions thanks to the lens’s weather-resistant design, which utilises rubber seals to keep out dust and moisture. The lens’ streamlined optical and mechanical design uses high-quality materials specially designed to resist changes in temperature and improve durability.
Lightweight and durable construction
By using a streamlined internal design, the lens is significantly smaller and lighter than the existing SIGMA 70- 200mm F2.8 DG OS HSM Sports for DSLRs. The lens and hood are constructed using a multi-material structure consisting of CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) and TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) materials, resulting in a total weight of only 1,345g. CFRP is a strong, lightweight material providing additional strength and resistance to damage, especially useful for heavy professional use. TSC has a thermal expansion rate similar to aluminium, ensuring consistent lens performance even whether shooting in the freezing temperatures of the Arctic to hot Saharan deserts.
Internal zoom mechanism
With the implementation of an internal zoom mechanism, the lens is can be used on a on a gimble as weight shift during zooming is minimal.
Weather resistant design
Designed using ultra-high-performance low-dispersion glass, which includes six FLD and two SLD elements, the SIGMA 70-200mm F2.8 Sport Sony FE Mount delivers outstanding image quality throughout the entire zoom range, even wide open at F2.8. Three aspherical glass elements further improve optical performance by reducing spherical aberration. Distortion and vignetting are extremely minimal and chromatic aberration is very well controlled even in high contrast areas.
Professional feature set
Customise the lens to your own shooting style by using the varied professional features found on the lens.
Tactile aperture ring
Take control of the depth-of-field using the built-in aperture control ring, the first to be featured on a SIGMA Sports lens. Set the ring to F2.8 to create beautiful separation between the subject and background with pleasing bokeh. The ring can be de-clicked, which is useful for film-makers, and locked so that it cannot accidentally be altered during shooting.
Newly developed tripod socket
A reworked Arca-Swiss compatible magnesium alloy tripod socket is included to keep the lens compact and lightweight. The tripod socket features a standard 1/4” screw and can be detached when required.
Create your own custom set-up with customisable functions
The lens is equipped with a Focus Limiter switch that limits the focus driving range. This is especially helpful where subjects are a constant distance away and when shooting through dense environments. The three AFL buttons found around the lens barrel can be set to a preferred camera function for easier handling.
