Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary Lens for Canon
134products
The Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM for Canon is a telephoto zoom lens within Sigma's Contemporary series that blends both a refined optical design with a compact and lightweight physical construction. On the optical front, it uses four SLD glass elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing throughout the zoom range for improved clarity and colour accuracy, and a Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to increase contrast when working in strong lighting conditions.
Balancing the optics, the lens sports a Hyper Sonic Motor to produce quick, smooth, and quiet autofocus performance with a full-time manual focus override. An Optical Stabiliser also benefits handheld shooting by minimising the appearance of camera shake for sharper imagery. The physical design utilises Thermally Stable Composite material for durability in a wide range of environments; both twist and push-pull zoom mechanisms are available for improved control over field of view; and a brass bayonet mount also offers rigidity and mounting precision.

Lightweight Telephoto Zoom Lens with State-of-the-Art Technology
The Sigma 100-400mm 5-6.3 DG HSM OS Contemporary is a state-of-the-art telephoto zoom that brings a new level of portability and quality to the super telephoto market. Touting Sigma’s Optical Stabiliser (OS), the Sigma 100-400mm 5-6.3 Contemporary is highly compact and lightweight compared to similar products on this market. A push/pull zooming function and a new Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) allow for a more responsive approach to photography while a 1:3.8 macro feature can be utilised from up close or from a further distance. Like each and every Global Vision Lens, the Sigma 100-400mm Contemporary Art is handcrafted at our single factory in Aizu, Japan and undergoes individual evaluation before leaving Sigma’s facility.
Top Optical Performance Equivalent To That Of A Much More Expensive Lens
Since its release, the SIGMA 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM | Contemporary has won photographers over with its strong fundamental performance and exceptional image quality. The new lens retains all of this performance in a compact 400mm ultra-telephoto zoom package with a filter size of just 67 mm and weight of just 1.16 kg. Yet it also comes with the full range of features and functions expected of an ultra-telephoto zoom: optical stabiliser (OS), hypersonic motor (HSM) with updated algorithm for fast autofocus, focus limiter, and more. In addition, this uncompromising specification becomes customisable with the available SIGMA USB Dock accessory.
Compact Lens Design With Uncompromising Image Quality
In designing this lens, SIGMA strived to push both compactness and image quality to the limit. Four SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass lens elements and an optimised power distribution help minimise optical aberrations. Moreover, by taking special care to minimise transverse chromatic aberration, which cannot be corrected via aperture control, SIGMA has ensured outstanding image quality throughout the zoom range.
Push-pull Zoom Mechanism Incorporated in Addition to Conventional Twist Zoom
For quick control of the angle of view, the zoom ring incorporates a push/pull mechanism in addition to the regular twist mechanism. The exclusive lens hood has also been designed to accommodate push-pull zooming and overall lens manoeuvrability. By making it possible to adjust the angle of view instantly, this lens gives photographers an even better chance of getting that crucial shot.
All-New Optical Stabiliser Unit With Exclusive Algorithm
Featuring a newly developed gyroscopic sensor and a new and exclusive algorithm, the all-new OS unit provides a powerful stabilisation effect. An acceleration sensor detects camera shake in any direction—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. This technology allows the OS to stabilise the image very effectively, regardless of whether the camera is being held in horizontal or vertical orientation.
Shoot in Any Weather with Dust- & Splash-proof Mount Design
Since the area of the lens most vulnerable to dust and other foreign bodies is the mount, rubber sealing helps provide peace of mind.
