Funcionamento da lente

Focalización

  • Enfoque automático (AF): Set the focus mode switch on the lens (if present) or camera to AF. The Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) provides quiet and high-speed autofocusing.
  • Enfoque manual (MF): Set the focus mode switch to MF. Rotate the focus ring to achieve sharp focus. This lens also features full-time manual focus override, allowing you to fine-tune focus manually even when in AF mode by simply rotating the focusing ring.

Zoom

Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length between 50mm and 150mm. The lens features an inner zooming system, meaning the overall length of the lens does not change during zooming.

Configuración de apertura

This lens maintains a constant maximum aperture of F2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. This allows for consistent exposure and depth-of-field control regardless of the focal length selected. The minimum aperture is F22.

Using with Tele-Converters

This lens is compatible with Sigma 1.4x EX DG and 2x EX DG APO Tele-Converters, extending its focal length capabilities. Refer to the tele-converter's instruction manual for proper attachment and usage.
