The 15-element-in-11-group optical design is poised to\n    deliver consistent peripheral brightness and sharpness, even when working at the bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture. A Super\n    Multi Coating has been applied to lens elements, too, to reduce flare and ghosting for higher contrast and colour fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eOffering best-in-class optical performance, this lens is designed to minimize sagittal coma flare, chromatic aberration, distortion, and vignetting to achieve exceptional\n    levels of optical performance for images virtually free of streaking and warping. This lens provides the best possible performance\n    when photographing a variety of subjects from cityscapes, mountain ranges, and the star-filled night sky to indoor\n    photography with low illumination or scenes that require a smooth bokeh effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp class=\"mText\"\u003eComplementing the optical performance is an equally adept Hyper Sonic Motor, which provides fast, smooth, and\n    near-silent autofocus performance. This focusing motor also enables full-time manual focus override at any time just by\n    rotating the focus ring for refined manual control. Additionally, nine rounded diaphragm blades contribute to pleasing\n    out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eSIGMA expertise and leading-edge manufacturing technologies deliver breathtaking optical performance.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThis lens features minimized aberration achieved through the latest design technology and know-how that has been\n    accumulated by SIGMA in its lens development over many years and offers astonishing rendering performance, even at the\n    edges, with ultra-high resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \u003cp\u003eWhilst featuring higher resolution around the focus point, this lens offers a smooth\n    and natural bokeh effect.

SIGMA’s Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and\n                ghosting to help photographers produce sharp and high contrast images even in backlit conditions. The included lens hood\n                can be attached to block out extraneous light, which can have a negative effect on rendering performance.\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003eWhen photographing with point light sources such as electric lights or reflections on a body of water in the background,\n                the rounded 9-blade diaphragm helps produce an attractive bokeh effect—even at large-aperture settings.\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e\n        \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n\n    \u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eMinimized sagittal coma flare for optimal capture of starry nightscapes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSagittal coma flare is the aberration in which a point light source appears as a streak instead of a point, and it\n    affects large-diameter lenses in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \u003cp\u003eSigma have adjusted the angle of incidence of light for optimal power distribution by positioning aspherical lens elements toward the rear of the lens\u003c\/p\u003e \n    \u003cp\u003eEven at wide-open aperture, you will enjoy outstanding image quality.

Moreover, the power distribution ensures the correction of axial chromatic aberration.

Highly transparent, its\n    refractive index and dispersion are extremely low as compared to conventional types of glass. It offers characteristics\n    very similar to those of fluorite, which is valued for its anomalous dispersion. These characteristics minimize residual\n    chromatic aberration (secondary spectrum), which cannot be corrected by ordinary optical glass, while helping to produce\n    sharp, high-contrast images.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eThe finest in materials, usability and functionality.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll lenses in SIGMA’s new Art line come with a hood with a high-quality rubberized connector and feature a newly\ndesigned lens cap and AF\/MF switch.
