Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6,3 DG OS HSM Contemporary for Canon

The state-of-the-art Sigma telephoto lens enhances the level of precision and quality, enabling you to capture perfect picture even from a further distance in the terrain with a precise detail depiction. Compared to similar lenses, it is compact and lightweight to be handled easily. With a maximum magnification of 1: 3.8, it is an ideal choice for macro images. To achieve sensitive control of the wide zoom range, simply pull or push the end of the lens with your hand. The manufacturer  nicknamed this model "light bazooka" for this uncompromised performance.

State-of-the-art optical stabilizer to substitute tripod

Significant magnification by telephoto lens usually requires a tripod. However, the perfect moment often escapes after having prepared the appropriate tools. That's why the manufacturer added a powerful Optical Stabilizer (OS) that enables you to take perfect photos holding the SLR in your hand for longer exposure times as well as full zoom. Thanks to the newly developed gyroscopic sensor with exclusive algorithm, the OS provides you with powerful stabilizing effect. The acceleration sensor detects changes in all directions, so the system works even when with the portrait format.

Distant as close

The optical assembly has been designed to make the lens compact and to deliver superior image quality across the zoom range. Four SLD glass lenses optimize light distribution, minimize deviations, mainly transverse aberration that cannot be corrected with aperture. There are three types of low-dispersion glass - ELD (extra low dispersion), SLD (special low dispersion) and FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) to suppress chromatic aberration. The Super Multi-Layer Coating increases contrast and reduces glare and blur.
