Aspherical lens

Sigma uses aspherical lenses to enhance optical perfonnance

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

which a lens o( specifi c focal length can convey a sharp image to the focal plane In our catalog the angle of view describes the field of view from the camera posilion (or a 35m m frame The longer lhe focal lenglh the natTower the angle of view

+Maximum aperture (f-stop rating) The maximum aperture givel) as an fshystop number indicates the lens relative ability to handle luwmiddotlight situations The maximum aperture is obtaine d by dividing the fo cal length of the lens by the maximum diameter of its incident iris and is ~hciwn amp5 fl4 128 f56 etc Th e sma ll er the C-s top numbe r th e larger the maximum aperture and 1e~~ light is there fore needed Smaller (--stop num be rs le t you use faste r s h uller speeds crea le shallow depth-a I-fie ld increase the brigh tn ess of your view finder as well as many other advantages

Aspherical lens

Sigma uses aspherical lenses to enhance optical perfonnance

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

+Maximum aperture (f-stop rating) The maximum aperture givel) as an fshystop number indicates the lens relative ability to handle luwmiddotlight situations The maximum aperture is obtaine d by dividing the fo cal length of the lens by the maximum diameter of its incident iris and is ~hciwn amp5 fl4 128 f56 etc Th e sma ll er the C-s top numbe r th e larger the maximum aperture and 1e~~ light is there fore needed Smaller (--stop num be rs le t you use faste r s h uller speeds crea le shallow depth-a I-fie ld increase the brigh tn ess of your view finder as well as many other advantages

Aspherical lens

Sigma uses aspherical lenses to enhance optical perfonnance

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy

Aspherical lens

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

Aspherical lens

Sigma uses aspherical lenses to enhance optical perfonnance

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

Aspherical lens

Sigma uses aspherical lenses to enhance optical perfonnance

and minimi7-e lens s ize and weight Aspherical lenses ha ve

minimized some common problems associated wilh wide angle

and ~oom lenses such as lens nare and edge distortion They

also de liver higher quality telephoto images

APO lens

Sigmas APO telephoto lenses minimize color aberration a

phenom~non cdused by djfferent wave lengths of lighl refracting

at di((erenl ang les causing each color to have a slightly different

imaging poin Color aberrat ion is parlicularly strong in fast

telephoto lenses and is a common cause of poor picture quality

O ur APO lens design keep aberTation to a minimum using special

middotInternal and rear focusing Conventional automatic focusing is done by pushing forward

either the entire lens system or jusllhe front lens group As auwfocus cameras have come mto wider use and the demand for

macro capabilities has increased the need has grown for aulofacus

srtems is which the physkallength of the lens does not change

and aberrations are kept to a minimum For telephoto and teleshy
