Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Nikon F

Twining a handy range of telephoto focal length lenses with an especially fast design, this Nikon F-mount Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM is an exhibit zoom mixing majestic versatility with advanced optics. The bright f/1.8 constant paramount aperture offers compatible low-light production throughout the zoom range and also gives greater control over focus placement for shallow depth of field and selective focus applications. The optical design includes a series of low dispersion and high-refractive index elements, which help to produce high clarity and sharpness by conquering various aberrations, color fringing, and distortion. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to the lens to controls lens flare and ghosting for upgraded contrast and color accuracy. Stabilizing the optical merits, this 50-100mm also supports an advanced Hyper Sonic Motor, along with internal focusing and zoom design, to help fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance. Additionally, a tripod collar meshes into the lens’s design for greater stability while working atop a tripod or monopod.

• As part of the Art line within Sigma’s Global Vision series, this lens is drawn to achieve truly notable optical performance and is ideally suited for creative and artistic applications.

• Telephoto zoom is designed for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras and provides a 75-150mm equivalent focal length range.

• Impressively fast f/1.8 constant maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions throughout the zoom range and also offers increased control over focus when working with selective focus techniques.

• Three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements and four Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements markedly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range. Additionally, one high-refractive index, high-dispersion glass element controls spherical aberrations for increased clarity and sharpness.

• A Super Multi-Layer Coating has been applied to lens elements in order to minimize lens flare and ghosting and contribute to producing contrast-rich and color-neutral imagery, even in backlit conditions.

• Integrated HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), along with an internal focusing system, realizes quick and quiet autofocus, which is further complemented by an optimized AF algorithm to produce smoother focusing performance. The HSM also permits full-time manual focus control simply by rotating the focus ring at any time.

• Internal build zoom and focus blueprint limit the overall length of the lens during operation for more intuitive, controlled handling with faster performance.

• The rounded nine-blade diaphragm is made from durable, fluorine-coated polycarbonate and also features a carbon feather film for achieving smooth performance when working with fast continuous shooting rates.

• Fabricate using a Thermally Stable Composite material for greater accuracy and use in wide temperature variations. Furthermore, a brass bayonet affords improved mounting accuracy and rigidity.

• Featured with rotating tripod collar offers upgraded stability when working from a tripod and integrates 90° click stops for inborn switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations.

• This lens can be used with the optional Sigma USB Dock for fine-tuning different lens characteristics and updating its firmware.
