Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports Lens (Sony E)

The Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports Lens features an exceptionally fast maximum aperture paired with a focused narrow field of view. This telephoto prime lens delivers striking bokeh, strong visual compression, and outstanding sharpness, making it particularly suited for portrait photography, landscapes, and indoor sports environments.

Long Portrait, Medium Telephoto

A unique focal length, the 200mm lens is equally suitable as a long portrait lens as well as a versatile tool for indoor and close-range sports or for adding a unique compression effect when photographing landscapes. The relatively narrow field of view isolates subjects and helps fill the frame with a single person or animal and also contributes to producing shallow depth of field effects with ease.

Supremely Fast f/2 Maximum Aperture

Complementing the long focal length is a surprisingly fast f/2 maximum aperture, which yields a super shallow depth of field for selective focus effects. Simultaneously, the f/2 design also makes this an ideal lens for photographing in low-light and indoor lighting conditions while still shooting handheld.

Professional-Grade Optics and Distinct Bokeh

The optical design incorporates two types of low dispersion glass to effectively minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing, ensuring exceptional clarity and precise color reproduction across the aperture range. Additionally, the lens construction resists flare and ghosting, enhanced by both Nano Porous and Super Multi-Layer Coatings to preserve high contrast and color fidelity under diverse lighting conditions. Its focal length, bright aperture, and rounded 11-blade diaphragm work together to produce exceptionally smooth bokeh, delivering pronounced visual compression and clear separation between subjects and defocused backgrounds.

Advanced Autofocus and Optical Stabilization

Combining rapid, precise focusing with effective image stabilization, this mid-telephoto lens excels at capturing and following fast-moving subjects. The high-response HLA (High-thrust Linear Actuator) swiftly adjusts the lightweight focusing group for fast focus transitions and agile subject tracking. Three dedicated AFL buttons provide convenient focus position control during tracking, while the Focus Mode and Focus Limiter switches offer additional customization of focus speed and range, enhancing performance based on subject type and distance.

Powerful OS and OS2 Algorithm

This 200mm lens features a powerful image stabilization system that effectively compensates for up to 6.5 stops of camera shake, ensuring sharp and steady images. Utilizing Sigma’s OS2 algorithm along with a dedicated drive unit, actuator, and high-precision sensor, the stabilization is precisely calibrated to the lens’s larger size and wide aperture. For enhanced versatility, two OS modes are provided: Mode 1 offers general stabilization suitable for most photo and video scenarios, while Mode 2 is optimized for panning, using the OS2 algorithm to maintain stability during horizontal, vertical, or diagonal movements regardless of camera orientation.

Rugged, Weather-Sealed Construction

Designed to withstand challenging conditions, this lens boasts a rugged construction with dust- and splash-resistant seals that ensure dependable performance in adverse weather. Its front element is treated with a water- and oil-repellent coating, facilitating effortless cleaning. Additionally, thermal insulation paint helps prevent overheating during use in extreme temperatures.

Thoughtful Design

The aperture ring can be de-clicked to allow for smooth and silent iris adjustments. Given its larger and heavier build, this 200mm f/2 lens is often mounted on a tripod or monopod and includes a rotating tripod collar with detents every 90°. The removable TS-171 Tripod Socket is designed for compatibility with Arca-type clamps, enabling direct attachment to various tripod heads. This foot also features an extended base and increased spacing from the lens body, enhancing comfort when used as a carry handle.
