Photokina 2018: Sigma reveals 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | Sports and 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Sports

Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM  | Sports

The 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM incorporates 10 exclusive low dispersion glass elements – nine FLD and one ‘Special Low Dispersion (SLD) – to produce extremely high resolution, corner to corner, and a smooth natural bokeh effect.

Customisation is possible via an AF Function button that offers various functions. By selecting it from the menu on camera bodies, or using the optional Sigma USB dock it offers a range of functions. In addition, the tripod socket offers 90° click stops to ensure easier changes of shooting position from vertical to horizontal and vice versa. It can be attached directly to an Arca Swiss type clamp.

Together with the existing SIGMA 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM | Art and SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG OS HSM | Art lenses, the SIGMA 70–200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | Sports completes the lineup of three f/2.8 large-aperture zoom lenses, capable of covering focal lengths from 14mm to 200mm.
