This compact high zoom ratio lens is designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras
and incorporates Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This system
uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of
the camera and works by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group to effectively
compensate for camera shake. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately
4 stops slower. It is the ideal lens for several type of photography such as wide-angle,
telephoto and close-up. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass, a molded glass aspherical
lens and two hybrid aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types
of aberrations. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High
image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. This lens has a minimum
focusing distance of 35cm (13.8") at all focal lengths, and has maximum magnification
of 1:3.8, making it ideal for close-up photography. This lens incorporates HSM
(Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed autofocus.
