• Three SLD glass elements and a rear focus system provide optimum image quality throughout the entire zoom range.

• The minimum focusing distance of 150cm (59.1”) makes it useful for close-up photography.

This telephoto zoom lens incorporates Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for chromatic aberration.
This lens is equipped with the rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing. It provides optimum image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. The minimum focusing distance of 150cm (59.1”) throughout the entire zoom range and has a maximum magnification of 1:4.2 make it useful for close-up photography.
This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focusing capability.

Pros:
|
OS 4 stop, HSM, ring tripod, price for 400mm
|
|
Cons:
|
weight,
|
|
good OS 4 stop, but less than IS canon, much slower and noisy to stabilize the image.
Very sharp 400mm f/8 and f/11
With 450d = 192mm - 640mm
With Sigma Teleconverter x1,4 or x2,0 AF does not work.
