The Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO HSM lens represents the difference between a good photo and true artistry. It is part of the Contemporary product range, which is designed to provide remarkably clean and sharp photographs. The Sigma zoom lens meets all the parameters for professional users. It is modern, compact, and boasts remarkable quality. With this lens, your photos will come to life like never before.
The modern Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO HSM offers a range of parameter for amateur enthusiasts and professional artists alike. It consists of a total of 17 optical elements in 13 groups. It contains aspheric element and FLD and SLD type lenses. What do those acronyms mean? A SLD lens is made of low light-scattering glass. It compensates for image magnification and chromatic aberration. The result is higher optical quality of the lens. The FLD lens is even better. It is made of glass with the lowest light scattering parameters. Compared to ELD or SLD lenses, it delivers the most light. This ensures colour correction, higher photo sharpness, and improved optical quality.
The MACRO abbreviation refers to a lens with a short focusing distance. You get amazing close-up photos of flowers or just their petals, animals, or objects. HSM, on the other hand, refers to a motor-driven lens that operates on the principle of ultrasonic waves. This ensures that the autofocus is silent and fast. The DC acronym tells you that it is a lens designed for DSLRs with the APS-C imaging chip.
The focal length of the lens is 18-300mm. The focal length and 13x zoom allow you to focus not only on the landscape in front of you but also on a particular point in the distance. You can always be sure that your captured images with look amazing. With the lens’ f/3.5-6.3 aperture, you can get crisp photos even in poor lighting conditions.
The Sigma lens also offers a very good viewing angle ranging from 76.5 - 5.4°. This means you can capture a larger area when shooting. The lens also include such obligatory features as autofocus, optical image stabilisation and, above all, ultrasonic focusing, which is much faster and quieter compared to the classic focusing process. It generates practically zero noise. It is based on the principle of piezoelectricity. And thanks to the Sigma USB Dock compatibility, you can easily set up the lens and update its firmware.
