Main features Lens SIGMA 500mm f4 DG OS HSM Sports

• Improved dust and splash resistant construction and availability of a unique PROTECTOR

Designed for maximum performance in harsh shooting conditions, the SIGMA 500mm F4 DG HSM | Sports has an effective construction against dust and splashes. The front of the lens has a water and oil repellent coating that allows water to be easily cleaned and helps prevent the oil from adhering to the surface.

• Magnesium alloy barrel

To help minimize the weight associated with a telephoto lens, the lens barrel is made with a magnesium alloy. Extremely light and resistant, this alloy contributes to the excellent handling of the SIGMA 500mm F4 DG HSM | Sports.

• Optical performance at the highest level

The lens incorporates two FLD and one SLD crystal element, and an optimized energy distribution that help minimize spherical aberration and axial chromatic aberration. The optical system also effectively minimizes transverse chromatic aberration, which can affect the edges of photos taken in the telephoto range. In addition, the image quality remains exceptional when the lens is used with a Teleconverter SIGMA (sold separately).

• AF function selector with preset AF modes

The AF function selector allows you to set your own autofocus specification. The lens can remember the focus position of its choice or turn off AF until needed.

• Stabilization system with a new intelligent OS algorithm

The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system features an acceleration sensor for even more accurate performance. In Mode 2, the acceleration sensor works in conjunction with the new intelligent algorithm to deliver effective stabilization while moving the camera horizontally, vertically or diagonally, regardless of the position of the lens. This feature helps ensure effective sweeps and exceptional captures of moving subjects.

• Tripod mount with anchor every 90°

Since photographers often prefer to use a hyper-telephoto lens with a monopod or tripod, the lens incorporates a large extremely stable tripod mount. The support's nickel-resistant, antistatic coated parts help improve the quality and durability of the 90° click anchors, making it easy to change the shooting position between vertical and horizontal.
