| "Emphasizing image quality. This is a SIGMA's new all-in-one Lens. Who decides it is impossible to combine portability with image quality? It is understood that the relationship between optical performance and shape of Lens is more like trade-off, and we may need to prioritize one over the other. A high ratio zoom Lens often requires compactness and enhancement of additional features, to be capable enough to cover various shooting scenes with convenience and versatility. However, SIGMA still believes that image quality is what matters the most. When travelling with minimal equipment the Lens needs a wide zoom range especially as a telephoto Lens may be needed unexpectedly without time to switch Lenses. Even with a high ratio zoom Lens, our goal is to satisfy enthusiastic photographers with the versatility of the Lens and its optical performance. Therefore, we sought for the point where all the pieces, such as specification, performance and size, fall into place, and this Lens is the fruit of this journey. This is good either as your first interchangeable Lens or as a high performance all in one Lens. Enjoy the performance of a high ratio standard zoom Lens that has ""the highest standard for excellent image quality based on each concept"", of which product lines Sigma has renewed and established with Sigma Global Vision. 1. Incorporates 4 FLD and 1 SLD glass elements, and minimizes chromatic aberration. It makes a difference in the rendering performance toward the telephoto-end. Excellent optical performance that satisfies experienced users This Lens incorporates 4 FLD (""F"" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite plus 1 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element. It enables this Lens to minimize the chromatic aberration, especially toward the telephoto-end, and provide clear image quality with high color fidelity * FLD glass is the highest level low dispersion glass available with extremely high light transmission. This optical glass has a performance equal to fluorite glass which has a low refractive index and low dispersion compared to current optical glass. It also benefits from high anomalous dispersion. These characteristics give excellent correction for residual chromatic aberration (secondary spectrum) which cannot be corrected by ordinary optical glass and ensures high definition and high contrast images. Accumulated Lens technology leads to superior image quality The most appropriate optical glass elements are selected to optimize all focal lengths of the Lens. From wide angle to telephoto and Macro ranges, it offers superior image quality throughout the entire zoom range. It compensate for the distortion very well, especially at wide-end, and carries extraordinary expressive capability from the center to the corners. 2. Newly Developed OS system Renewed OS system for higher compensation By reviewing the system construction and the algorithm of firmware, 3.5 steps compensation has been achieved. * Based on CIPA's guideline. Measuring at tele-photo end, when it is attached to the camera with APS-C image sensor. * The Lenses for SONY and PENTAX do not incorporate the OS function. 3. A Close-Up Lens is exclusively developed for this product (sold separately), which will not affect the optical performance of the original Lens. It offers a maximum magnification ratio 1:2 and changeable angles of view enables zoom-Macro photography. Exclusive Close-Up Lens (optional accessory) The minimum focusing distance of the Lens is 39cm, its maximum magnification ratio is 1:3 and the working distance is 14cm, which is similar to Macro Lenses. In addition to this, a Close-Up Lens, AML 72-01 (optional accessory), is developed exclusively for this product. It makes the rendering very constant across the zoom range, and it enables higher performance in Macro photography at 1:2. Even when this Close-Up Lens is attached, the image taken at maximum magnification ratio, at 300mm, infinity, shows very little difference in MTF. * Focus is at infinity, and the recommended shooting range is 80-300mm. Zoom-Macro for enhanced Macro photography Just by rotating the zoom ring, it enables photographers to take Close-Up pictures of subjects such as jewelry and flowers. Maximum magnification ratio at respective focal lengths is indicated on the Lens barrel, thus it is easy to see what the object size will be at the sensor. Furthermore, in order to secure a clear field of view, the design of this Lens is very thorough, even down to the precise position of the engraved letters on the Lens. 4. New product lines from SGV concepts that are setting new benchmarks for image quality [Contemporary] Latest technology for high optical performance and compactness High performance line corresponding with various photography situations SIGMA is organizing all its interchangeable Lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art and Sports. Among the three, the Contemporary line is a high performance line which incorporates the very latest technology making it possible to accommodate both high optical performance and compactness for use in various photography situations. Sigma has solved the difficult problem of keeping the size and weight down without compromising optical performance and function with the latest technology. [SIGMA GLOBAL VISION] ""SIGMA Global Vision"" - SIGMA is working on its full renewal of the products, and the new Lens lines share all the following elements. Evaluation with SIGMA's own MTF measuring system ""A1"" We used to measure Lens performance with an MTF measuring system using conventional sensors. However, we've now developed our own proprietary MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable high-frequency details are now within the scope of our quality control inspections. The SIGMA 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM will all be checked using this ""A1"" before they are shipped. * A1?Aizu1 ""Made in Japan"" All of Sigma's manufacturing - right down to molds and parts - is carried out under an integrated production system, entirely in Japan. We are now one of the very few manufacturers whose products are solely ""made in Japan"". We like to think our products are somehow imbued with the essence of our homeland, blessed as it is with clean air and water, and focused, hard-working people. We pride ourselves on the authentic quality of Sigma products, born of a marriage between highly attuned expertise and intelligent, advanced technology. Our sophisticated products have satisfied professionals and lovers of photography all over the world, because our manufacturing is based on genuine craftsmanship, underpinned by the passion and pride of our experts. Applicable for the Mount Conversion Service that enables Lenses to be long term assets Over the years, Sigma has manufactured an extremely wide variety of interchangeable Lenses. Leveraging our unique know-how and resources, we present our new mount conversion service, which is available for the interchangeable Lenses from our new product lines. Sigma will convert the current Lens mount internal components, allowing you to continue using your favorite Sigma Lens with a different camera body.

SIGMA USB DOCK - Customizable to your needs With the optional SIGMA USB DOCK and the dedicated special software ""SIGMA Optimization Pro"", you can update your Lens firmware, or adjust focus points by attaching this Lens to a SIGMA USB DOCK connected to a computer. Brass made bayonet mount This Lens incorporates a brass bayonet mount which has both high accuracy and durability. A special treatment to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term user. Newly Developed Hyper Sonic Motor For comfortable and smooth use with the high zoom ratio, 16.6 times, it incorporates a bigger HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) which is newly developed for this Lens. It is powerful enough to ensure high speed and quiet AF. * For Pentax mount, if the camera body does not support HSM, auto focus will not be available. Designed to minimize flare and ghosting Flare and ghosting were thoroughly measured and monitored from the Lens development stage to establish an optical design which is resistant to strong incidental light such as backlight. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. Incorporating Rounded Diaphragm The 7 blade-rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas of the image. Corresponding Digital SLR Camera DC Lenses have an image circle that covers APS-C size image sensors. Not for use on digital cameras having image sensors larger than APS-C size or on 35mm or APS film cameras, as vignetting will occur. The angle of view varies depending on which camera the Lens is mounted on. To find the 35mm camera-equivalent focal length, multiply the DC Lens focal length by the crop factor (digital multiplier) of 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7, depending on the brand of DSLR camera on which the Lens will be used. To find which DC Lens is equivalent to a full-frame Lens, divide the focal length of the full frame Lens by the same crop factor. Sony and Pentax mounts are not incorporated with OS function. AF will not function with Pentax ist* series and K100D DSLR cameras that do not support HSM. The appearance and specification are subject to change without notice.

| "Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | C Lens for Nikon" |
| "The same focal ranges for different purposes. The first hyper-telephoto zoom Lens from our Contemporary line for better usability On the one hand, the product concept of the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports is to achieve the best optical and action-capture performance to meet the requirements of professional photographers. On the other hand, that of the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary is to achieve a lightweight and compact construction for higher usability with similar specifications. It has put a special emphasis on its optical performance by incorporation of 1 FLD and 3 SLD glass elements, optimization of Lens power distribution and minimized chromatic aberration of magnification. An issue for hyper-telephoto Lenses in particular at the telephoto end, optical aberrations have been minimized throughout the zoom range. Dust- and splash-proof to facilitate photography in the field and featuring a detachable tripod socket for more convenient handheld photography, this Lens is a lightweight high-performance model offering outstanding usability. 1. High image quality and a compact construction based on the product concept of our Contemporary line. By incorporating excellent optical glass elements, it minimizes chromatic aberration and achieves class leading image quality. This Lens incorporates 1 FLD (""F"" Low Dispersion) glass elements, which have performance equal to fluorite, and 3 SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements, and compensates for color aberration at the utmost. Chromatic aberration in particular, which could be visible especially towards the telephoto-end even when stopped down, is corrected by the optimized design of glass elements including FLD Lenses. * FLD glass is the highest level low dispersion glass available with extremely high light transmission. This optical glass has a performance equal to fluorite glass which has a low refractive index and low dispersion compared to current optical glass. It also benefits from high anomalous dispersion. These characteristics give excellent correction for residual chromatic aberration (secondary spectrum) which cannot be corrected by ordinary optical glass and ensures high definition and high contrast images. Lightweight and compact construction for higher usability. Compared to the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports, it is more compact and lightweight, enabling easy handling and making it possible to do handheld photography for a longer period of time. The tripod socket is detachable so that the Lens can be carried by itself. Without the tripod socket, it also fits well into limited space for storage. Moreover, the tripod socket is made of magnesium which is light and strong at the same time. The tripod socket may be detached and replaced with a rubber protective cover PT-11 to further reduce weight and make handheld photography an even more lightweight and convenient experience. This Lens is the optimal choice for photographers who desire hyper-telephoto functionality while staying light on their feet. 2. Enhanced functionality for better portability and usability. Intelligent OS featuring updated algorith The OS (Optical Stabilizer) function features an acceleration sensor to ensure even higher precision. Two OS modes are available: Mode 1 for general photography and Mode 2 for motor sports and other applications requiring panning. In Mode 2, the acceleration sensor teams up with the Intelligent OS and its updated stabilization algorithm to deliver effective stabilization while you move the camera horizontally, vertically, or diagonally-regardless of the position of the Lens. This feature helps ensure effective panning and outstanding capture of moving subjects. Note: This Lens is incompatible with film SLR cameras with the exception of the Nikon F6 and Canon EOS-1V. Zoom lock switch can be set at any focal length The new zoom lock switch enables the zoom ring to be locked at any focal length. It can be fixed at the photographer's desirable focal length, which allows stable shooting whether the Lens is positioned upward or downward. It also helps during long exposure photography. Water and oil-repellent coating ensures pleasant photography experience Forefront and rear Lenses incorporate a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the Lens surface becomes easier. Dust-proof and splash-proof mount As with the SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM from the Sports line, the Lens mount incorporates rubber sealing to protect the mount part from dust and water drops. Quiet and Fast AF The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures high speed and quiet AF as well as full-time manual focus override by rotation of the focus ring. With the enhanced AF algorithm, smoother AF is achieved. The full time manual, which offers further adjustment after focusing with AF mode, is possible. By using USB Dock, you can change and adjust the AF speed at your convenience. 3. Customization and flexible adjustment for convenience or a specific purpose is possible Manual override incorporated to make two full-time manual modes switchable In addition to AF/MF, MO (Manual Override) is incorporated as one of the options of the focus mode switch. By setting it to the MO position, it switches to manual focus by rotating the focus ring even during continuous AF. With AF position, standard full-time manual focus is available. Using the optional SIGMA USB DOCK, it is possible to adjust the MO position's sensitivity to switch to manual focus. SIGMA USB DOCK - Customizable to your needs Customization including firmware updates, focus adjustment, setting of full time manual operations as well as adjustment of the timing to switch to MF when rotating the focus ring is available with the optional SIGMA USB DOCK, by connecting it with the dedicated software ""SIGMA Optimization Pro"" on a computer. With this Lens, custom mode that can be set depending on the photography situation is available by switching it on the Lens. Through custom mode, it is possible to set AF speed, focus limiter where desired focus range can be adjusted, and OS where one of the patterns for optical stabilizer can be selected from ""Dynamic View Mode"", ""Standard"" and ""Moderate View Mode"". 4. Compatible with the newly developed tele converters. AF is effective up to F8 Tele Converters that are newly designed to match the new Lens line-ups (optional, planned to be released in 2014) can be attached. The addition of SIGMA's TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 or TELE CONVERTER TC-2001 produces a MF 210-840mm F7-9 hyper-telephoto zoom Lens or a MF 300-1200mm F10-12.6 hyper-telephoto zoom Lens respectively. In addition, when SIGMA TELE CONVERTER TC-1401 is attached to cameras that are compatible with AF at F8, it is possible to shoot with AF. * When shooting subjects with low contrast or luminosity value, focus may not be spot on the subject. 5.

| "Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC A Lens for Nikon" |
| "Image quality until now found only in a fixed focal length Lens. The definitive large-aperture APS-C format standard zoom Lens. What makes a standard Lens ideal for you? Certain important qualities are required, such as fast maximum aperture, versatility for snap shots, portraiture and indoor photography plus a good combination of a wide range of focal lengths in a compact design. SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is the first zoom Lens ever to achieve a maximum aperture of f1.8 throughout the zoom range. It is a wide aperture, standard zoom-Lens for digital single Lens reflex camera's with APS-C size sensor's. *1The Lens has a focal range equivalent to 27mm - 52.5mm in a 35mm format and it can cover the angles of view of multiple fixed focal length Lenses. This wide aperture, standard zoom Lens enables the photographer to expand creative possibilities on any occasion. *1 As of April, 2013. * Angle of view differs on cameras to which the Lens is attached. Our Art line delivers high-level artistic quality Sigma is organizing all its interchangeable Lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art and Sports. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. Developed with the maximum emphasis on artistic touch, they are designed to meet the expectations of users who value a creative, dramatic outcome above compactness and multifunction. Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, Close-Up and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes. Excellent Usability A zoom Lens is very convenient as it offers various angles of view just by rotating the zoom ring. However, the down side was that no zoom Lens ever offered a faster aperture than f2.8 which led photographers to select fixed focal length Lenses for brighter images. While the aperture value of prime Lenses is superior to zoom Lenses, their field of view is always the same, and therefore it was always necessary to carry many fixed focal length Lenses. SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a new generation Lens that can deliver images at f1.8 aperture throughout its focal length. The bright viewfinder is very helpful for checking the focus and composition of the image. If it is compared with a Lens of F2.8, the faster shutter speed and the shallow depth of field of F1.8 further expands creativity. From wide to standard range this Lens offers the excellent versatility and performance of multiple fixed focal length Lenses.Fruit of cutting edge technology To achieve a wide zoom Lens with a maximum aperture of f1.8, various technical problems need to be overcome. As the aperture value gets larger, the depth of focus becomes shallower, thus it makes the Lens design extremely complicated in order to compensate for various distortions, such as spherical, axial chromatic and astigmatic aberration along with curvature of field. In order to compensate for astigmatic aberration across the entire focal range, we have relied on the experience and know how gained when designing our super wide angle zoom Lenses such as SIGMA12-24mm F4.5-5.6 II DG HSM and SIGMA 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM. In addition, the technological innovation at our Aizu factory also contributes to better Lens production. It has enabled us to develop a wide glass-molded aspheric Lens, and the incorporation of SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass has optimized power distribution of the optical elements and compensated for various aberrations as well as curvature of field at the widest angle. Thanks to our knowledge of Lens design accumulated over a long period of time plus the latest Lens manufacturing techniques, SIGMA has finally made the dream of a zoom Lens with F1.8 throughout its entire focal range come true. Convenient handling Convenient handling is achieved by incorporating internal focusing and zooming which prevents any change in the length of the Lens when focusing and zooming. It is possible to use a specialist filter, such as a Circular Polarizer, as the front part of the Lens does not rotate. Designed to minimize flare and ghosting Flare and ghosting were thoroughly measured and monitored from an early stage in the Lenses development to establish an optical design which is resistant to strong incidental light such as backlight. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. Attaching the matched petal type hood, which is supplied, will provide extra protection from flare and ghosting. Minimum focusing distance of 28cm With a minimum focusing distance of 28cm and a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.3, this Lens is excellent for Close-Up photography. Hyper Sonic Motor The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a silent, high-speed AF function. Optimizing AF algorithm, smoother AF is achieved. It also enables full-time manual focusing capability which allows sensible focus adjustment by simply rotating the focus ring. Incorporating Rounded diaphragm The 9 blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive round bokeh at large-aperture settings. Design concept The new product lines incorporate rubber for the attachment part of the provided Lens hood. For better usability, the designs of the Lens cap and AF/MF changeover switch have been improved. In order to ensure high accuracy of the product, all metallic parts and the new compound material, TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which has a high affinity to metal parts, are housed internally. On the Lens barrel, the last three digits of its release year are engraved so the Lens can be identified according to the year of its launch. Brass made bayonet mount This Lens incorporates a brass made bayonet mount which has both high accuracy and durability. A special treatment to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term use. Newly developed ""USB DOCK"" exclusively for new product lines Based on these new lines, we have developed special software (SIGMA Optimization Pro) that can update the Lens firmware and adjust parameters such as focus. Evaluation with Sigma's own MTF measuring system ""A1"" We used to measure Lens performance with MTF measuring system using conventional sensors. However, we've now developed our own proprietary MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system (A1) using 46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors.

| "Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG A Lens for Canon" |
| "Incredible resolution ideal for the high-megapixel era. Introducing the new benchmark large-aperture standard Lens. In 2008, Sigma released a large diameter standard Lens designed for digital SLRs, ""SIGMA 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM"". At that time, products for film cameras were prevalent, yet we spent enormous effort to set a new benchmark for the 50mm Lens that optimizes the characteristics of digital cameras, such as compensating peripheral brightness, controlling the point images in the corners, and improving the image drawing, not only around the focusing point, but also other areas in the image. In recent years, as the DSLR evolves, development of image sensors for higher pixel size has created the photographers' desire for the Lenses with superior performance. In 2012, Sigma has announced the ""Art"" line that achieves unsurpassed expressive performance to fulfill the higher requirement of photographers. The first Lens from the ""Art"" line ""SIGMA 35mm F1.4 DG HSM [A012]"" sought for uncompromising performance, and it resulted in great reviews as well as a lot of awards from all over the world. Based on the accumulated wisdom and know-how to establish the standard for our ""Art"" line series, we are proud to announce the development of the new high performance standard Lens with a large diameter for this new era of superb image quality. Art line delivers high-level artistic expression SIGMA is organizing all its interchangeable Lenses into three product lines; Contemporary, Art, and Sports, where each line has a distinctive concept. Designed with a focus on sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power, our Art line delivers high-level artistic expression. With the astonishing rendering performance that meets the high standard, along with landscapes, portraits still-life, Close-Up, and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture and starry skies and many other scenes. Astonishing rendering performance Utilizing know-how and the latest design technology accumulated through the past developments, it corrects the aberration thoroughly and achieves high resolution and astonishing rendering performance even near the edge of the image. Achieving both high resolution and beautiful bokeh While pursuing a high level of resolution on the focused point, bokeh in front and behind the point of focus is carefully maintained to have soft rendering. Aberrations including sagittal coma flare and color distortion that affect the image quality are thoroughly corrected. From open aperture, high-definition rendering without blur is achieved. Moreover, by ensuring vignetting at the minimum and preventing color blur around the front and back of the focus point, it also achieves natural bokeh. Excellent correction of sagittal coma flare It is ideal for a wide aperture standard Lens to have a high rendering performance from open aperture throughout the entire image. For instance, the molded glass aspherical Lens elements provide excellent correction to sagittal coma flare. It is perfect for astronomical photography and shooting of illumination because of the reduced blur on the point light sources near the edge of the image. It also creates an attractive bokeh in portraits and indoor shooting. Correction of axial chromatic aberration For axial chromatic aberration that is hard to correct even during the image processing, SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements are incorporated, ensuring high image quality throughout the entire focusing range. The Lens achieves sharp and high contrast image rendering. Minimized distortion It is not possible to compensate for distortion just by changing the aperture values. Thus, the Lens development stage was vital in ensuring minimized distortion. The ""SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG HSM"" has positioned each glass element to optimize the power layout at respective positions, and succeeded in minimizing distortion. Rich peripheral brightness It secures very rich brightness in the peripheral areas, which can be a common problem for a Lens with a large diameter. By positioning wide elements in the front group, it has improved the efficiency at large apertures. Since it is capable of minimizing vignetting, very clear depiction across the image is ensured. Designed to minimize flare and ghosting Flare and ghosting were thoroughly measured and monitored from the Lens development stage to establish an optical design which is resistant to strong incidental light such as backlight. The Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. Minimum focusing distance of 40cm The Lens incorporates a floating system that adjusts the distance between Lens groups while focusing, thereby reducing the amount of Lens movement required. This achieves a minimum focusing distance of 40cm and maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.6. As there is less variation in aberration at different shooting distances, the Lens delivers high rendering performance throughout the entire focusing range. Hyper Sonic Motor ensures High AF Speed The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a silent, high-speed AF function. Optimizing AF algorithm, smoother AF is achieved. Also, this Lens can offer full-time MF function by rotating the focus ring of the Lens while auto focusing. Without changing the AF/MF Focus Mode Switch, it allows faster focus adjustment. * The default setting of Full-time MF function varies for each mount. New Additional function added to ""SIGMA USB DOCK(optional)"" With the optional SIGMA USB DOCK, you can update your Lens firmware, adjust focus points and customize the setting of Full-time MF function and the timing to operate the Full-time MF function. By attaching this Lens to a SIGMA USB DOCK, which is connected to a computer, the dedicated software ""SIGMA Optimization Pro"" offers various types of customization and adjustment. * It is necessary to update the ""SIGMA Optimization Pro"" to Ver. 1.2. * Please keep the SIGMA USB DOCK updated to the latest version. Incorporating Rounded Diaphragm The 9 blade-rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out-of-focus areas of the image. Design Concept With the new product lines, supplied hoods incorporate rubber for the connected part. Lens caps and AF/MF switches are also newly designed in order to improve usability. For the parts inside, metals and a new material called TSC (Thermally Stable Composite), which works well with metals, are located to achieve products with high accuracy. The Lens barrel includes the year of release, engraved for users to recognize when the Lens was released. Brass made bayonet mount This Lens incorporates a brass made bayonet mount which has both high accuracy and durability. A special treatment to reinforce its strength is applied to the surface giving it greater strength and making it highly resistant to long-term use.

Along with landscapes, portraits, still-life, Close-Up and casual snaps, they are perfect for the kind of photography that unleashes the inner artist. Ideal for studio photography, they offer just as much expressive scope when capturing architecture, starry skies, underwater shots and many other scenes. Excellent Usability A zoom Lens is very convenient as it offers various angles of view just by rotating the zoom ring. However, the down side was that no zoom Lens ever offered a faster aperture than f2.8 which led photographers to select fixed focal length Lenses for brighter images. While the aperture value of prime Lenses is superior to zoom Lenses, their field of view is always the same, and therefore it was always necessary to carry many fixed focal length Lenses. SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a new generation Lens that can deliver images at f1.8 aperture throughout its focal length. The bright viewfinder is very helpful for checking the focus and composition of the image. If it is compared with a Lens of F2.8, the faster shutter speed and the shallow depth of field of F1.8 further expands creativity. From wide to standard range this Lens offers the excellent versatility and performance of multiple fixed focal length Lenses."

Compared to Polycarbonate which is generally used, TSC has higher elasticity by approximately 25%. Since thermal shrinkage is low, it has high affinity to metal parts which contributes to high quality product manufacturing. It also contributes to the parts such as the zoom ring and scaling to be slimmer. Brass made bayonet mount This Lens incorporates brass made bayonet mount which has both high accuracy and solidity, same as the mount for camera body. The special treatment to reinforce the strength is applied on the surface to make it a high quality Lens that is resistant for long-term use. Optical Stabilizer (OS) Sigma's own unique Optical Stabilizer (OS) function is incorporated. It offers effective correction of approximately 4 stops, which makes it possible to compensate camera shake even in Macro range photography where a small blur can be easily identified. When photographing a moving subject such as motor sport, it automatically detects camera move, and offers effective correction for camera shake. *The OS effectiveness will gradually decrease as the shooting distance becomes shorter. *Sony and Pentax mounts are not incorporated with OS function. Superior optical performance SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass element offers excellent correction of color aberration. Three aspherical Lenses including double-sided aspherical Lens together with the latest design, prevent and correct all types of aberrations including astigmatism, achieving high quality images throughout the entire zoom range. Flare and ghosting conscious design blades From an early stage, flare and ghosting are thoroughly measured to establish the design which is resistant to strong incident light such as backlight. Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting, and provides sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. Supplied petal-type hood can be attached to block out extraneous light which has a harmful influence on rendering of the Lens, and prevent internal reflections to occur. Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is incorporated The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures fast and quiet auto-focusing. Rounded diaphragm The rounded 7 blade diaphragm creates an attractive blur to the out of focus areas.

| "Sigma 105mm WR Clear Glass Ceramic Protector" |
| "Characterized by its uniquely durable construction, the WR Ceramic Protector Filter is a clear filter designed to guard the front of a lens from impacts, scratching, and other elements. Developed using a clear glass ceramic substrate, this filter blends a high 99.76% transmittance value with greater hardness than chemically-strengthened glass & greater flexibility than sapphire crystal glass. This results in a build that is shock & scratch-resistant to withstand a variety of impacts while shooting. Additionally, a water-repellent coating has also been applied to resist water droplets and fingerprint smudging, as well as static electricity from attracting dust or other particles. Built for use in trying conditions, the unique design of the WR Ceramic Protector Filter helps to maintain the lens' inherent image quality while affording a high degree of protection. Unique construction has a Vickers hardness number of 700HV, making it both scratch- and shock-resistant. This hardness also lessens the likelihood of scratching or chipping that can lead to the filter shattering. Rather than only the surface structure being hardened, clear glass ceramic involves a heat treatment process that precipitates micro-crystals of a mineral called spinel in order to achieve consistent, even strength across the entire filter surface. This strength also enables the design of the filter to be notably thin and lightweight. A water-repellent (WR) coating has been applied that, in addition to preventing water and oil from adhering to the filter surface, also helps to minimize ghosting and flare. This coating reflects 0.24% of light, giving an overall transmittance value of 99.76%. The WR coating also serves as an anti-static coating, which helps to repel dust or other particles from clinging to the filter surface. The included hard acrylic case protects the filter when not in use."
