• Equipada com a tecnologia OS (Optical Stabilizer) da Sigma.


• Dois elementos SLD (Special Low Dispersion) e duas lentes esféricas proporcionam uma excelente de dodo o tipo de aberrações cromáticas.

A Sigma tem o prazer de anunciar a nova lente 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC com establizador de imagem (OS). Esta lente  zoom é projetada exclusivamente para câmeras de DSLR  e cobre uma extensa gama de distancias focais, desde a grande angular até telefoto. É equipada com a tecnologia da Sigma OS (Estabilizador Óptico). Esta função usa dois sensores dentro da lente que detetam movimento vertical e horizontal da câmera e mantendo a imagem constante no sensor compensando assim as oscilações da câmera. Detecta o movimento da câmera automaticamente e compensa a oscilação da câmera ao fotografar temas de acção. Duas lentes SLD(Special Low Dispersion) e duas lentes esféricas fornecem uma excelente correção excelente para todos os tipos de aberrações. O multi-camada que cobre a lente reduz o flare o ghosting. Esta lente provê qualidade de imagem superior ao longo de toda a gama de zoom. Um sistema focgem interno elimina rotação de lente, o que favorece a utilização de filtros polarizadores circulares e para-luz de pétala que acompanham a lente.


New 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS

• Equipped with Sigma’s own unique technology OS (Optical Stabilizer) function.


• Two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements and two aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of optical aberrations.

The Sigma Corporation is please to announce the new 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS lens. This high zoom ratio lens is exclusively designed for digital SLR cameras and is capable of covering a wide range of focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto. It is equipped with Sigma’s own unique technology OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. This function uses two sensors inside the lens to detect vertical and horizontal movement of the camera and works by moving an optical image stabilizing lens group, to effectively compensate for camera shake. It automatically detects movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting moving subject such as motor sports. Two SLD(Special Low Dispersion)glass elements and two aspherical lenses provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting. This lens provides superior image quality throughout the entire zoom range. An inner focusing system eliminates front lens rotation, making the lens particularly suitable for using circular polarizing filters and the petal-type lens hood supplied.
