Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Ultra-Telephoto Zoom Lens – Nikon Mount An ultra-telephoto lens with an optical stabilizer OS system has several advantages. The OS allows the photographer to take photographs in unstable circumstances. The narrow angle of view makes it possible to dramatically compress perspective and flexible handling of the background. The photographer can thereby make the subject appear to jump out of the image with the area in focus impressively sharp and clear.

With its outstanding combination of optical performance and compactness this is an ultra-telephoto lens that is a joy to carry and use. While keeping the robust functionality and exceptional image quality of an ultra-telephoto zoom lens intact SIGMA has achieved amazingly compact packaging enclosing 400mm optics.
