Sigma 100-400mm f/5.6-6.3 DG DN OS Contemporary

BEST ULTRA TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS, TIPA WORLD AWARDS 2021. “A long-range telezoom creates a whole new way of looking at the

world and changes the way you can see and record wildlife, sports, action and even photojournalistic assignments. Lightweight and compact for this class of zoom, this newly-crafted lens takes full advantage of Sigma’s know-how in telephoto optics and all the advantages of the mirrorless camera con guration (it’s available in the Sony FE and L mounts for Leica, Panasonic and Sigma). It can be comfortably used handheld, enhanced by the built-in optical stabilisation that gives up to four stops of correction (and works with IBIS). The advanced optical design is optimised for sharpness across the focal range, and the stepping motor AF drive supports eye/face-detection subject tracking. Zooming can be performed by either push-pull or twist-action, whichever feels more comfortable to you, while the minimum focusing distance at 400mm gives a magni cation ratio of 1:4 or quarter life-size… which represents useful close-up capabilities.”
