Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports Lens for Sony E *OPEN BOX*

Combining an ultra-fast maximum aperture with a distinctly narrow field of view, the Sigma 200mm f/2 DG OS Sports Lens is a unique telephoto prime characterized by its expressive bokeh effects, visual compression, and high sharpness that's ideal for portraiture, landscape, and indoor sports subjects.

A unique focal length, the 200mm lens is equally suitable as a long portrait lens as well as a versatile tool for indoor and close-range sports or for adding a unique compression effect when photographing landscapes. The relatively narrow field of view isolates subjects and helps fill the frame with a single person or animal and also contributes to producing shallow depth of field effects with ease.

Complementing the long focal length is a surprisingly fast f/2 maximum aperture, which yields a super shallow depth of field for selective focus effects. Simultaneously, the f/2 design also makes this an ideal lens for photographing in low-light and indoor lighting conditions while still shooting handheld.

A combination of high-speed, nimble focusing performance and robust image stabilization makes this mid-telephoto ideal for photographing and tracking fast moving subjects.
A high-thrust HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) quickly moves the lightweight focusing group for quick focus switching and nimble tracking of fast-moving subjects.
Three separate AFL buttons make it easy to control focus position while tracking subjects.
Focus Mode and Focus Limiter switches give further control on focus speed and range for even more control depending on what the subject is and how far away it is.

Helping to achieve sharp and stable images, this 200mm features a robust image stabilization system that compensates for 6.5 stops of camera shake. Powered by Sigma's OS2 algorithm and using a dedicated drive unit, actuator, and high-precision sensor, this stabilization system is perfectly matched to the larger size and wider aperture design of this lens.

Additionally, for more refined control, two OS modes are available:
Mode 1 is a general application stabilization mode, suitable for most photo and video situations.
Mode 2 is a specialized setting for panning work and makes use of the OS2 algorithm to better stabilize shots while moving the lens horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, regardless of the camera's orientation.

Thoughtful Design
Aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent iris switching.
As a heavier and larger lens, this 200mm f/2 lens will often be used atop a tripod or monopod; it features a rotating tripod collar that incorporates detents at each 90° position.
The removable TS-171 Tripod Socket is compatible with Arca-type clamps for direct attachment to a variety of heads. Additionally, this foot has intentionally been designed with a longer base surface and more spacing between the foot and lens body to make it more comfortable to use as a carry handle.
