Released March 2024. *Image is for illustrative purposes only. Clear, sharp images and amazing mobility. This handy 500mm offers a new shooting experience. Mount: Sony E-mount (full-frame compatible). Focal length: 500mm. Max aperture: f/5.6. Filter size: 95mm. Sports line / [50056DGDNOSSSE] 50056DGDNOSSSE Released March 2024. This 500mm lens offers exceptional optical performance for handheld shooting. The latest optical design, using special low-dispersion glass, achieves both an extremely compact lens construction and high optical performance with excellent correction of various aberrations. In addition to its handheld size, the high-speed AF using the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) and the OS2 image stabilization algorithm support comfortable shooting. High optical performance and compact lens construction. The latest optical design has significantly reduced the optical size of this 500mm super telephoto lens. By concentrating a powerful convex lens element made of special low-dispersion glass at the front of the lens, we have achieved both a short overall length and excellent aberration correction. The technically challenging task of processing large-diameter special low-dispersion glass was made possible thanks to the advanced production technology of SIGMA's Aizu Factory, our only production base. It effectively corrects all aberrations, particularly axial chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected from the camera body, and delivers consistent, high resolution from the center to the edges of the frame.
Excellent Backlight Resistance: The SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports' optics are constructed with refractive lenses, preventing the unique flare and ghosting that can result from diffractive optical elements. This allows for clear, clear images, even in backlit environments or with a light source within the frame. Furthermore, cutting-edge simulation technology has been used to address all types of incident light conditions.
The high-speed AF actuator is a linear motor (HLA) with advanced electronic control, resulting in high drive precision and quiet operation. Fast and accurate focusing is possible even in ultra-telephoto photography, where precise focusing is required, such as sports or bird photography.
Equipped with the latest OS2 image stabilization algorithm, it provides 5.0 stops of effective image stabilization. It features two stabilization modes: Image Stabilization Mode 1, which is suitable for general photography, and Image Stabilization Mode 2, which is ideal for panning shots such as motorsports. Mode 2, with its specialized panning algorithm and intelligent OS, effectively compensates for image stabilization, regardless of the horizontal or vertical orientation of the composition, even when the camera is moved up, down, or diagonally, allowing you to capture the movement of the subject without compromising the effect of panning.
Compact and Lightweight Body Constructed with High Build Quality To match the significantly more compact optical system, the lens body has also been made smaller and lighter. Not only is it easy to handle, allowing for handheld shooting, but it also boasts SIGMA's renowned build quality, with weather resistance as specified in the Sports line, as well as the texture and operability of the various rings. High-precision TSC parts ensure both performance and compactness. To achieve a compact, lightweight body while maintaining robustness, the SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports uses materials such as TSC and magnesium in appropriate locations. In particular, the large TSC parts, which combine functionality by serving as both the internal structure and the exterior components to achieve compactness and lightness, require micron-level precision and a beautiful finish to be manufactured. This challenging manufacturing process is achieved through the sophisticated processing and production techniques of SIGMA's Aizu Factory, SIGMA's only production base, ensuring the lens's high performance and durability. Weather-resistant to Sports line specifications: The mount joint, manual ring, control switches, and exterior joints are dust- and moisture-resistant to prevent the intrusion of dust and dirt. The front of the lens is coated with a water-repellent and dirt-resistant coating, making maintenance easy in the event of water or dust accumulation. Included: A dedicated, lightweight, and durable TSC-made cover-type lens hood is included. The tip is covered with rubber to protect against scrapes and scratches caused by placing the lens upside down. Equipped with a wide range of shooting assist functions, including an AFL button* that can be assigned to any setting from the camera, and an aperture ring, this lens is suitable for a variety of shooting purposes and styles. The L-mount version is also compatible with teleconverters, enabling AF shooting at focal lengths up to 1000mm. *Only compatible cameras are available. Assignable functions may vary depending on the camera. Equipped with a focus limiter switch that limits the focus range during AF as needed, enabling quick focusing. Three AFL buttons allow you to assign any setting from the camera, making operation easy regardless of your holding position or setup. For L-mount lenses, using the SIGMA USB DOCK UD-11 allows you to set the custom mode switch* to your preferred OS operation and focus limiter range. *Since no USB DOCK for Sony E-mount lenses is available, the default settings cannot be changed. *By default, you can switch the OS effects displayed in the viewfinder and live view. The aperture ring, equipped with an aperture ring click switch and aperture ring lock switch, allows you to adjust the aperture to suit your shooting needs. The detachable tripod mount is made of lightweight and durable magnesium alloy and is Arca-Swiss compatible. The tripod mount ring has detents every 90°. Compatible with L-mount teleconverters (1.4x/2.0x), including the L-mount teleconverters TC-1411 (1.4x) and TC-2011 (2.0x). By combining it with a teleconverter, you can extend the focal length by 1.4x or 2x, enabling AF shooting at super telephoto focal lengths up to 1000mm.
