The Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports lens is the first 200mm f/2 lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras and is available in Sony E and Leica L mounts. Its optical design consists of 19 elements in 14 groups and includes pairs of FLD and SLD elements as well as 11 diaphragm blades to create a circular aperture. This lens has a minimum aperture of f/22 and will focus to within 170 cm of subjects, providing a maximum magnification ratio of 1:7.6. It accepts 105 mm diameter filters. The wide maximum aperture of f/2 creates attractive bokeh and the compression effect of the 200mm focal length makes this lens ideal for portraiture. It can also be used for shooting indoor sports with low-light and fast-moving subjects. Autofocusing is driven by a linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator), which provides fast and accurate focusing, while the 6.5-stop image stabilisation supports stable shooting for stills and video. A dust- and splash-resistant structure, along with the robust design and advanced functionality of Sigma’s Sports line makes it reliable in any shooting environment. Click here for full details.
