The Sigma Sports 200mm f2 DG OS telephoto prime lens is designed to perfectly compliment full-frame mirrorless cameras.. The large bokeh, compression effect, and exquisite depictions delivered by outstanding optical performance unlock the creator’s
expressive power and enable unique photographic and video expression. The lens is the ultimate choice for portrait photography, and is also ideal for shooting indoor sports with low-light and fast-moving subjects. The linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) provides accurate, high-speed AF, and the 6.5-stop image stabilization supports comfortable shooting. Additionally, its dust- and splash-resistant structure, along with the robust design and advanced functionality of Sigma’s Sports line, makes it highly reliable in any shooting environment.
Excellent resolution even at maximum aperture
By adopting an optical design of 19 elements in 14 groups, including 2 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements, axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration, which are easily noticeable in telephoto lenses, are thoroughly corrected, achieving exceptionally high optical performance. Even at wide-open aperture, it delivers finely detailed rendering that maintains high resolution and contrast from the center to the edges of the frame.
Impressive portraits made possible by the exceptional bokeh
With the large bokeh enabled by the F2 aperture, which boasts twice the light
amount of F2.8, and the compression effect of the 200mm focal length, the lens
delivers a gorgeous background blur that brings out the subject, achieving a unique
expression. Combined with its exceptional optical performance, it makes it possible
to take impressive portraits like no other.
Also powerful for indoor sports photography
The F2 brightness allows for a faster shutter speed even in low-light environments,
making it a powerful tool for indoor sports photography. The large bokeh enhances
the movements and expressions of the athletes, creating dynamic images, and with
the high-speed AF made possible by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)
motor and Optical Stabilization (OS), that decisive moment is not missed, even
in fast-moving sports scenes.
Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
Using advanced simulation technology, flare and ghosting have been largely
eliminated, ensuring that the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all
conditions. In addition, Sigma’s Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer
Coating have been applied to further suppress flare and ghosting.
High-speed autofocus and optical stabilization that maximize optical performance
HLA-driven high-speed AF
The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor is incorporated, achieving high-speed AF. It combines accelerated focusing speed with outstanding accuracy.
Powerful optical stabilization using the OS2 algorithm
The OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides an outstanding image stabilization
effect of 6.5 stops. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable
for general shooting, and Mode 2 is ideal for panning shots of motorsports and
other sports. In Mode 2, Sigma’s Intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed
for panning shots, enables effective image stabilization even when the camera
is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal and vertical
orientation. This ensures that the subject’s movement can be captured without
losing the panning shot effect.
Exceptional build quality and durability of Sigma’s Sports line
Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance
The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint
that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents
the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather.
Weatherability of Sigma’s Sports line specifications
The mount joints, manual focus ring, zoom ring, custom switches, and exterior
joints are all protected from dust and splash by a dust- and splash-resistant
structure. Further, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and
oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere
to the lens.
Newly designed tripod socket
A new tripod socket, TS-171, has been designed with its use as a carrying handle in
mind, featuring a longer base and wider spacing between it and the lens. The tripod
ring incorporates a 90° click mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure rotation,
and the foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps.
Equipped with various functions to support shooting
There are various functions to support shooting, including AFL buttons in three
different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS switch
(Mode 1/2), and a custom mode switch.
