The SIGMA Corporation (CEO: Kazuto Yamaki) is pleased to announce that SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary and SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports have won TIPA World Awards 2024.
SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary
Name of Award: BEST APS-C WIDE ANGLE ZOOM LENS
Citation: One of the principal ways photographers can expand their image making horizons is to work with lenses that provide a unique view of the world, and this SIGMA 10-18mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary certainly delivers that. With an equivalent focal length of 15-27mm on APS-C cameras, and a constant maximum aperture of F2.8, this lightweight (260g / 9.2oz.) and compact (72.2 x 62.0mm / 2.8 x 2.4in.) lens is perfect for travel, intimate views of nature, and with its minimum focusing distance (11.6cm / 4.6in.) and F22 minimum aperture, sweeping perspectives with deep depth of field, and more. Versatile for video capture as well, its stepping motor provides high-speed focus and smooth recording. Available in a variety of mounts, this is an ideal companion lens for unique and exciting image capture.

SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports
Name of Award: BEST SUPER TELEPHOTO PRIME LENS
Citation: For many years the thought of using a 500mm lens handheld was unrealistic, but with optical stabilization and the use of lightweight lens construction materials, new opportunities for sports, event, nature, and wildlife photographers have arrived. The SIGMA 500mm F5.6 DG DN OS | Sports is built from materials such as Thermally Stable Composite and magnesium, a lightweight yet robust and splash resistant combination, while SIGMA’s OS2 stabilization algorithm delivers up to 5.0 stops* of image stabilization that allows for both working at slower shutter speeds and narrower apertures without busting the ISO budget. Two stabilization modes in the Intelligent OS, one for normal shooting and the other ideal for panning and sports action, get in the game even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally regardless of horizontal or vertical framing.
* Based on CIPA guidelines (Measured at 500mm with a 35mm full-frame image sensor)
