ELD Glasss
A versatile, fast aperture telephoto lens for both digital and film SLR cameras. Two ELD glass elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and also ensure sharp, quality images of high contrast.

Multi Layer Coating
The new multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting, a common problem with digital SLR cameras.

Internal Focusing
The Internal Focus system ensures the overall length of the lens does not change during focusing, ensuring convenient handling and ease of use.

HSM System
The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) models provide fast, silent AF function as well as full- time manual focus override.

Rear Filterr
A drop-in 46mm filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel can be rotated to facilitate the use of filters, including a polarising filter, in situ.

Optional EX Teleconverters
Simply adding an APO teleconverter (optional extra), means that this lens can be used as a 420mm F4 AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 1.4X EX teleconverter, or a 600mm F5.6 AF ultra-telephoto lens with a 2X teleconverter.

	Digital SLR User - July 2007 ‘Being part of Sigma’s EX range, the lens is designed to withstand the rigours of professional use, and the build quality is certainly very impressive. The focus ring is one of the best I have used; it is well damped and very smooth, allowing accurate adjustments to be made with one finger.’ ‘When it came to the processing stage I was initially struck by the quality of the images. Colour balance was neutral and contrast was high, so only slight adjustments were needed to the raw files.’ ‘For sports and wildlife photographers who are looking for a fast telephoto lens for action photography, the Sigma 33mm f/2.8 would make an ideal companion.’

	Photography Monthly - November 2007 ‘At f/2.8 it is a fast telephoto that manages to compete with some serious rivals. Excellent flat-line performance is what we would expect from a prime lens and this 300mm is no disappointment. Edge results stay admirably close to the centre performance too. Two extra low dispersion glass elements help control chromatic aberration and ensure high contrast images while distortion, as you would expect from a lens of this nature, is virtually immeasurable. A serious contender up against its marque rivals.’
