Super-fast HSM autofocus – the Hyper Sonic Motor guarantees fast, precise and almost silent focusing, which is crucial for sports and nature photography.
Weather-resistant construction – seals protect against dust and moisture, and a fluorine coating prevents water, grease and dirt from adhering.
Teleconverter compatibility – compatibility with Sigma TC-1401 and TC-2001 allows you to extend the focal length to 280 mm and 400 mm, respectively.
Ergonomic design – the solid metal construction ensures stability, and the focus and zoom rings operate smoothly and precisely.
Dedicated Sports series – a line created for demanding photographers who value durability, speed and uncompromising image quality.
High resolution from edge to edge – optics designed to fully utilize the capabilities of Sony’s modern high-resolution matrices.
Support for video equipment – silent AF and OS stabilization make the lens also useful for filming.

Overview

Professional telephoto lens for demanding applications

The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS Sports lens is designed for sports, nature, and portrait photographers who require exceptional optical quality and reliability in all conditions. Thanks to its fast f/2 aperture and advanced optical design, it delivers excellent sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Fast F2 aperture – unlimited creativity

The f/2 aperture allows you to achieve beautiful background blur (bokeh) and work in low light without having to raise the ISO. This is especially important in sports and nature photography, where quick reaction time and the ability to capture decisive moments are crucial.

Advanced optical system

The lens is constructed with the highest quality optical elements, including FLD (“F” Low Dispersion) and SLD (Special Low Dispersion) lenses, which minimize chromatic aberrations and ensure excellent sharpness from the center to the edges of the frame.

OS optical stabilization

The OS (Optical Stabilizer) system enables stable handheld photography even at longer exposure times, which is especially important at a 200 mm focal length.

Fast and precise autofocus

The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) used in combination with the AF algorithm ensures lightning-fast, quiet and accurate focusing, both in photography and video.

Durable, sealed construction

The Sports series guarantees the highest durability – the lens is dust and splash resistant, and hydrophobic coatings protect against water, dust and fingerprints.
Compatibility with teleconverters

The lens is compatible with Sigma teleconverters, allowing you to increase the focal length to 280 mm (with TC-1401) or 400 mm (with TC-2001) while maintaining high image quality.
