The Sigma 300-800mm f/5.6 EX DG HSM lens covers a huge focal length range from 300mm to the ultra-telephoto focus length of 800mm. By continuously varying the angle of view from 8.2 to 3.1, the lens takes a lot of the footwork out of picture composition.

This lens is perfectly suited to wildlife and sports photographers where a powerful focal length is essential.

Built to Sigmas professional EX standards, this lens is designed to provide superior image and build quality. Two Extraordinary Low Dispersion glass elements reduce chromatic aberration to a minimum and ensure sharp, quality images from the centre to the edge of the frame. In order to attain the highest quality images, the APO lens has been incorporated using special low-dispersion (SLD) glass.

A 46mm filter can be inserted near the rear of the lens, and a circular polarising filter (included) can be used in situ.

This lens accepts both 1.4x and 2x APO EX Tele-Converters, which we are also looking to stock (not yet available).
