What's Included
The Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens for Sony E-mount is a compact and lightweight ultra-telephoto prime that combines a strong build, advanced optical design, and image stabilization to deliver top-notch results whether handheld or in tough conditions. With its smooth and accurate high-speed autofocus, photographers can easily capture fast-paced events and create stunning shots in sports, wildlife, and aviation photography.
Body and Optical Design
The compact and lightweight Sigma 500mm f/5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens (Sony E) features an improved optical design with 20 lens elements in 14 groups, including three FLD elements and two SLD elements. The lens effectively minimizes flare and ghosting, ensuring optimum image clarity, while the lens body is constructed with Thermally Stable Composite and magnesium for durability and resistance to dust and splashes. Additionally, the front element is coated with a water- and oil-repellent layer for added protection against debris.
OS2 Optical Stabilizer Algorithm
Sigma's OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides up to 5 stops of image stabilization. Combined with the compact form factor, the OS makes the lens well-suited for handheld usage and gives users the luxury of shooting at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing image sharpness. Two stabilization modes are available, Mode 1 for general shooting and Mode 2, which features Sigma's Intelligent OS algorithm. Ideal for panning shots and sports capturing, the Intelligent OS provides effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally irrespective of the horizontal and vertical orientation.
HLA Autofocus System
The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) focusing motor introduces unprecedented speed, precision, and silence into the Sigma autofocus system. The HLA also offers improved focus following performance for sports photography and other subjects in motion such as cars, planes, or birds in flight, ensuring that the decisive moment is not missed.
