Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

Portraits

A focal length of about 85mm and higher is recommended for medium closeup to closeups depending on the amount of spacial compression wanted. Depth of field is the most important tool to manipulate and a fast lens will give more scope for creative treatment.

Technologies

HSM (Hyper-Sonic Motor)

HSM stands for "Hyper Sonic Motor". The HSM motor is driven by ultrasonic waves and it makes auto focusing, precise, silent and high-speed. Sigma's HSM version lenses are available only for AF Sigma, Canon and Nikon AF cameras.

EX (EX Lens)

The exterior of this lens is EX-finished to denote the superior build and optical quality, and to enhance its appearance.

DG (DG Lens)

These are large-aperture lenses with wide angles and short minimum focusing distances. With an abundance of peripheral illumination, they are ideal lenses for Digital SLR Cameras whilst retaining suitability for traditional 35mm SLRs.
