SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass for high image quality.
This lens uses two pieces of SLD glass elements in the front lens group and another two in the rear group for excellent correction of chromatic aberration. High optic performance is demonstrated throughout the entire zoom range.

HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) ensures a quiet, high-speed AF
The AF drive for Sigma SA, Canon and Nikon cameras is equipped with a silent, responsive and high speed HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which also provides full-time manual focus function.

Inner focusing and inner zooming systems
This lens incorporates an internal focusing system, which eliminates front lens rotation, allowing the use of a Petal-type Hood and more convenient to use of circular polarizing filter. Since focusing and zooming do not change its overall length, this lens is easy to hold and use.

APO lens
The use of an Apochromatic design and 4 SLD (The Special Low Dispersion) glass elements (two SLD glass elements are utilized in the front lens group and two in the rear group) provide for full correction of chromatic aberration and a high level of optical performance.

APO Tele-Converter EX (optional)
High-speed focusing is possible when this lens is used with dedicated APO EX tele-converters (1.4x and 2x). With the optional APO tele-converter 1.4x EX, it works as AF zoom lens from 140mm to 420mm F5.6. With APO tele-converter 2.0x EX, it works as a manual focus zoom lens from 200mm to 600mm F8.
It is possible to use AE (Automatic Exposure) function, even EX Tele-converters are attached to the lens.

	Photography Monthly - September 2007 ‘Optically this is a nice performer with consistent centre to edge figures that are surprisingly close together. Again, across the full zoom there is very little deterioration between the short and the long end of the focal range and the non-rotating front element makes filter use a breeze.’

	Which Digital Camera - December 2007 ‘The focusing with the HSM motor is also impressively quick, accurate and quiet - something that can come in very handy for those shooting timid wildlife. In addition, distortion is well controlled thanks to the use of four special low-dispersion glass elements. Focal range may not suit everyone, but optical quality and focusing performance are both impressive.’
