More Details:

• True 1:1 Magnification: Perfect for capturing life-size images of small subjects like insects and flowers, ideal for detailed macro photography.
• Exceptional Optical Quality: Advanced design with FLD and SLD elements reduces aberrations, ensuring stunning detail and color accuracy.
• Fast f/2.8 Aperture: Offers beautiful bokeh effects, enhances low-light performance, and allows for precise subject isolation.
• Weather-Sealed Construction: Designed for durability and resilience, it's well-suited for challenging outdoor environments.
• Durable Brass Bayonet Mount: Guarantees a secure, long-lasting connection with your Canon camera, enhancing reliability.
• Super Multi-Layer Coating: Reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring clearer and more consistent images.
• Internal Focusing System: Provides faster and quieter autofocus, essential for capturing fleeting moments.
• Rounded Diaphragm: Delivers smoother bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your photos.
• Compatibility with Sigma USB Dock: Allows for convenient firmware updates, keeping your lens up-to-date.
• Optional LH720-05 Lens Hood Included: Offers additional protection and helps in managing unwanted light.

• Designed to minimize flare and ghosting - SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high-contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.
• Fast AF with full-time manual focus - Full-time manual focus function allows the lens to be switched to manual focus simply by rotating the focus ring.
• Mount with Dust and Splash Resistant Structure - The lens mount incorporates rubber sealing to protect the mount from dust and water drops.
• Exclusive low-dispersion glass - Most chromatic aberration can be removed by combining a high-refractivity convex lens element with a low-refractivity concave element. Yet residual chromatic aberration known as “secondary spectrum” may still remain. To minimize this secondary spectrum, which can be a serious issue with conventional lenses, SIGMA lenses feature up to three types of exclusive low-dispersion glass offering superior performance: ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion), SLD (Special Low Dispersion) and FLD (“F” Low Dispersion). In particular, FLD glass offers ultra-low dispersion in combination with high transmittance and the anomalous dispersion characteristics of fluorite.
• Rounded diaphragm - The 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates an attractive blur in the out-of-focus areas of the image.
• High-precision, rugged brass bayonet mount - The brass mount combines high precision with rugged construction. Its treated surfaces and enhanced strength contribute to the exceptional durability of the lens.
