This telephoto zoom lens incorporates Sigma`s original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function. It offers the use of shutter speeds approximately 4 stops slower. Three SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements provide excellent correction for chromatic aberration. This lens is equipped with the rear focus system that minimizes fluctuation of aberration caused by focusing. It provides optimum image quality throughout the entire zoom range. The super multi-layer coating reduces flare and ghosting. High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range. The minimum focusing distance of 150cm (59.1") throughout the entire zoom range and has a maximum magnification of 1:4.2 make it useful for close-up photography. This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focusing capability. The addition of the optical 1.4x EX DG APO or 2x EX DG APO Tele Converters produce a 168-560mm F6.3-8 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens or a 240-800mm F9-11 MF ultra-telephoto zoom lens respectively.

"Just bought this lens, while it is a bit heavy it was a must have for myself and my wife. A little slow to focus, but for Nature and Landscape shots it is top of the line. I was looking for the Canon 100-400mm, but was more than glad to have found the Sigma first and with the money saved I'm still looking for other camera equipment...." Read Full Review »

"If you've been drooling over the Nikon VR zooms but can't justify spending the money, STOP. Look at the Sigma OS 120-400 then buy it. This lens renders incredible images that easily rival that of my Nikon branded gear. The HSM auto-focus is quick and very quiet! It's only flaw is weight but alth …" Read Full Review »

"Great lens. Beats existing Nikon 80-400. I hear Nikon is producing a new version of theirs soon so this may not hold up. Faster focus, better VR, less CA -- with my D700 anyway.

I have bought and sold many telephoto lens including:
