Sigma’s APO 300-800mm F5.6 EX DG HSM is another unique lens in the line of Sigma offerings. An ultra telephoto as no other camera or lens manufacturer offers the serious photographer! Featuring a constant aperture of F5.6 throughout the entire zoom range, this lens is ideal for photographing wildlife when there is no way of controlling the distance of the animal to the camera. With a simple turn of the zoom ring, the photographer can instantly adjust the composition of the image without moving or disturbing the subject. Similarly, the zoom accommodates sporting photography such as soccer or surfing where the rapidly changing distance of the action requires massive changes in focal length in a matter of seconds. Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide optimum color correction & sharpness throughout the entire zoom range. At the rear of the lens, a drop in 46mm filter holder is provided so that the photographer can easily add inexpensive color correction or light balancing filters. A perfect lens for surveillance use, its stealth black finish is unobtrusive and easily concealed.

Features

ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass

This digitally optimised lens covers the ultra-telephoto range up to 800mm and has a fast maximum aperture. Its new lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum colour balance.

ELD Glass

The lens incorporates two ELD (Extraordinary Low Dispersion) glass elements for effective compensation of chromatic aberrations and ensure sharp, quality images with high contrast.

HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor)

The addition of an HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) makes fast, silent AF function a reality. The lens is also capable of full-time manual focus.

Internal Focusing and Internal Zooming

Focusing and zooming do not change the lens' overall length, ensuring it's easy of use either handheld or on a tripod.

Rear Filter System

A 46mm filter can be inserted near the rear of the lens, and the included circular polarizing filter can be used in situ.

Included Tripod Bush

A heavy duty tripod bush is included as standard for use with tripods and monopods. Multiple threaded holes allow accurate balancing of lens and camera body. This is also designed as an easy grip when carrying the lens.

With optional Sigma Apo Tele Converters

When this lens is used with the 1.4x EX or 2x EX Apo Tele Converters (optional), it becomes a 420-1120mmF8 MF lens or a 600-1600mm F11 MF lens respectively.
