Sigma APO
50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM
For Canon Zoom Lens Full Frame Japan Model
New
Features
High ratio ultra telephoto zoom lens covering
from standard range of focal lengths to
telephoto and incorporating Sigma's original
OS function
This ultra telephoto zoom lens covers a
standard range of focal lengths from 50mm to
500mm ultra telephoto range. This lens is
equipped with Sigma's unique OS (Optical
Stabilizer) function. This system enables hand
held photography for many types of subjects
such as motor sports, air planes, macro and
wildlife. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion)
glass elements provide excellent correction of
color aberration throughout the entire zoom
range. Incorporation of HSM (Hyper Sonic
Motor) ensures quiet and high speed AF, while
allowing full-time manual focus override. The
addition of the optional APO TELE CONVERTER
produces a 1000mm ultra telephoto zoom lens.
Covering a range of focal lengths up to ultra
telephoto
This lens is ideal for many types of
photography such as motor sport, air planes,
macro and wildlife. By rotating the zoom ring,
it is possible to change the focal length
easily from a standard focal length to an
ultra telephoto range. This lens has an
equivalent angle of view of a 75-750mm lens *
when used on digital cameras with APS-C size
image sensors.
*The angle of view varies depending on
which camera the lens is mounted on.
Sigma's own unique OS (Optical Stabilizer)
technology
The lens is equipped with Sigma's own
unique OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This
lens incorporates an OS system which offers
superior stabilization, ensuring excellent
quality results even when using the lens
handheld. Mode 1 is ideal for general
photography and Mode 2 is designed for panning
subjects such as racing cars. For Sony and
Pentax mount, the built-in OS function of this
lens can be used even if the camera body is
equipped with an anti-shake function. As
compensation for camera shake is visible in
the view finder, the photographer can easily
check for accurate focus and ensure there is
no subject movement.
*For Pentax and Sony mounts, it is not
possible to use the AF and the built-in OS
function of this lens when attaching it to
film SLR cameras as well as Pentax *ist series
and K100D.
*When using the OS function of a lens
with a camera which incorporates a stabilizer
unit, please turn the camera's stabilizer unit
off.
*This lens cannot be used with film SLR
cameras with the exception of the Nikon F6 and
Canon EOS-1v.
Excellent Optical Performance
This lens features four SLD (Special Low
Dispersion) glass elements, providing
excellent correction of color aberration
throughout the entire zoom range. The super
multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting
and ensures high contrast images. This lens is
equipped with a read focus system that
minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by
focusing. High image quality is assured
throughout the entire zoom range.
The close focusing capability
This lens has a maximum magnification of
1:3.1 (at the focal length of 200mm). It
enables photographers to get close up to small
subjects and eliminate distracting parts of
larger subjects.
HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor)
The rear focus mechanism and HSM (Hyper
Sonic Motor) ensures quiet and high speed AF
as well as full time manual focus capability.
*AF will not function if the Sony and
Pentax camera bodies do not support HSM.
APO Tele-Converter (Optional)
The addition of the optical 1.4x EX DG
APO or 2x EX DG APO Tele Converters produce a
70-700mm F6.3-8.8 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens
or a 100-1000mm F9-12.6 MF ultra-telephoto
zoom lens respectively.
* The Pentax mount Tele Converter is not
compatible with this particular lens.
Hood Adapter HA1030-01 (Supplied)
Hood adapter extends the length of the
lens hood and provides more effective shading
when used with digital cameras with an APS-C
size image sensor.
* When using the APS-C Hood Adapter
HA1030-01 with digital cameras with larger
than APS-C size image sensor, vignetting will
occur. Please remove the hood adapter if you
are using these cameras.
Easy Operation and Handling
This lens features a Zoom Lock device to
eliminate "Zoom Creep" when the lens is tilted
down. When the lens is set to the 50mm focal
length, it is remarkably compact and provides
easy handling. A removable tripod socket
(TS-31) is included, which is convenient for
handheld photography. The Rear Focus mechanism
makes it possible to use the custom bayonet
"Petal-type Hood", which prevents extraneous
light from degrading the image quality. The
filter size of this lens is Diameter 95mm and
the lens is supplied with a step down ring
enabling digital cameras with an APS-C size
image sensor to use an Diameter 86mm filter.
