Overview:

Fast f/2 Aperture – Power and Precision in Every Shot

The hallmark of this lens is its bright f/2 maximum aperture, which allows for striking subject isolation, smooth background blur, and outstanding performance in low-light environments. Whether capturing fast-paced indoor sports, dramatic portraits, or compressed landscapes, the 200mm focal length paired with f/2 delivers a distinctive look that few lenses can match.

Professional-Grade Optics – Sharpness and Clarity Edge to Edge

Sigma has built the 200mm f/2 with a cutting-edge optical design, incorporating two types of low dispersion glass to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing. Nano Porous and Super Multi-Layer coatings further reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and color accuracy, even in challenging lighting conditions.
The rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to exceptionally smooth and pleasing bokeh, giving subjects beautiful separation against creamy backgrounds.

Autofocus and Stabilization – Designed for Fast Action

The lens employs Sigma’s new HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) for quick, quiet, and precise autofocus, ideal for tracking fast-moving subjects. With three AFL buttons, a Focus Limiter switch, and customizable focus modes, photographers have full control when it matters most.
Adding to its versatility is Sigma’s advanced Optical Stabilizer (OS) system, powered by the OS2 algorithm, delivering up to 6.5 stops of shake compensation. Two stabilization modes are available:

• Mode 1: General-purpose stabilization for stills and video.

• Mode 2: Optimized for panning, stabilizing shots in any direction regardless of camera orientation.

Built for the Field – Rugged, Reliable, Ready

As part of the Sports line, the 200mm f/2 is built to endure tough environments. The lens features a dust- and splash-resistant design, a water- and oil-repellent front element coating, and thermal insulation paint to prevent overheating in extreme conditions.
Thoughtful design details include:

• De-clickable aperture ring for silent iris control.

• Rotating tripod collar with detents at every 90° for smooth orientation changes.

• TS-171 Tripod Socket, Arca-type compatible, with an extended foot designed to double as a comfortable carrying handle.
