It offers a 500mm focal length and exceptional image quality, this lens is remarkably compact and lightweight. By incorporating several exclusive large-diameter low-dispersion glass elements, whose production is complex, SIGMA has succeeded in significantly reducing the size of the lens without using a diffractive lens. In addition, the lens achieves a very high resolving power that meets the expectations of a 500mm fixed focal length lens. The lens is mainly composed of high-precision technical plastic parts, it has excellent construction quality and weather resistance, including a dust and splash-proof structure*, and this with a compact size. With its optical power and incredibly compact size for its focal length, the SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports offers a whole new photographic experience for wildlife, aviation, sports and any other fast-action photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003e\u003csup\u003e* The structure is designed to be dust and splash-proof, but not waterproof.

In addition to its size which allows handheld shooting, high-speed autofocus with its HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor and its OS2 optical stabilization algorithm ensure comfortable shooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh optical performance and compact lens construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThe latest generation optical design has significantly reduced the size of the optical system of this 500mm ultra-telephoto lens. By using exclusive low-dispersion convex elements at the front of the lens, it offers both high aberration correction capability and reduced overall length. The high technological level of production of the Aizu factory, SIGMA's only production site, allows for the precision necessary for processing exclusive low-dispersion glass elements for a large aperture. The lens has excellent correction of all aberrations, especially axial chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected by the camera, ensuring consistent high resolution from the center to the periphery of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eExcellent resistance to backlighting of the subject\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThe SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports uses refractive lenses in its optical construction to prevent flare and incidental lights which are characteristics of diffractive optical elements, resulting in clear images without worrying about these effects, even in backlighting or when a light source is included in the image. Indeed, based on a latest generation simulation technology, measures are taken against all incident light conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh-speed AF with an HLA linear motor\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eAn HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) linear motor is used for the AF motorization, characterized by its high displacement precision thanks to advanced electronic control, as well as its silence. The HLA motor allows fast and precise autofocus, even for ultra-telephoto shots, such as sports and bird photography, where extremely precise focusing is necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eOS2 algorithm used for optical stabilization function\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThe latest OS2 optical stabilization algorithm offers an extremely high image stabilization effect of 5 stops*. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for general shooting and Mode 2 is ideal for panning shots. In Mode 2, SIGMA's intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed for panning shots, allows effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of horizontal and vertical orientation. This allows capturing subject movements without losing the panning effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003e\u003csup\u003e* Based on CIPA guidelines (measured at 70mm and 200mm with a Full Frame image sensor)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompact, lightweight and of excellent manufacturing quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eThe lens has been designed to be small and light, just like its optical construction which has been made significantly more compact. Not only is the lens easy to handle handheld, but it also offers the weather resistance of SIGMA's Sports line specifications and the excellent build quality that SIGMA is proud of in terms of the texture and operational quality of each ring and control.\u003csub\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHigh-precision TSC* parts allow both high performance and a compact and lightweight design.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"ql-align-justify\"\u003eTo achieve such a compact, lightweight and robust lens, materials such as TSC and magnesium have been used in appropriate places. In particular, the production of a large TSC part that functions as an internal structure, as well as an external part to reduce the size and weight of the lens, are manufactured with micron-level precision and also have an elegant finish that gives the lens its high-end look. The elaborate processing and production technology of the Aizu factory, SIGMA's only production factory in Japan, allows for very precise production and guarantees the high performance and durability of the lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\n\u003csub\u003e* TSC (Thermally Stable Composite) is a type of polycarbonate with a thermal expansion rate similar to aluminum.
