The Sigma 500mm f/4.5 EX DG HSM Lens has a fast maximum aperture and also features a new super multi-layer coating, which optimizes the characteristics of digital SLR cameras. Two ELD glass elements in the front lens elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and also ensure sharp, quality images of high contrast.

Coating reduces Ghost and Flare
The multi-layer lens coating and lens design reduce flare and ghost, which is a common problem with digital cameras and also creates an optimum colour balance.

ELD (Extra Low Dispersion) glass elements
Two ELD glass elements in the front lens elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and also ensure sharp, quality images of high contrast.

Rotatable drop-in filter
The lens features a drop-in 46mm filter holder in the rear part of the lens barrel, which can be rotated to facilitate the use of filters, including a polarizing filter.

HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor)
The AF drive features Sigma's ultra-quiet and high-speed Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM).

Inner Focus
Inner focusing retains external dimensions for ease of handling.
