With 20 lens elements in total arranged in 14 groups, including three FLD elements and two SLD elements, the lens effectively prevents flare and ghosting and promotes image clarity. The lens body is built from Thermally Stable Composite and magnesium for a robust, dust- and splash-resistant construction. The front element also sports a water- and oil-repellent coating to protect the lens from debris.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hasLeftMedia_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"featureHeader_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text_TAw0W35QK_ comfy_TAw0W35QK_ sizeTitle2_TAw0W35QK_ weightNormal_TAw0W35QK_ primary_i3MsQsqoe0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOS2 Optical Stabilizer Algorithm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html text_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigma's OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides up to 5 stops of image stabilization. Combined with the compact form factor, the OS makes the lens well-suited for handheld usage and gives users the luxury of shooting at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing image sharpness. Two stabilization modes are available, Mode 1 for general shooting and Mode 2, which features Sigma's Intelligent OS algorithm. Ideal for panning shots and sports capturing, the Intelligent OS provides effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally irrespective of the horizontal and vertical orientation.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"hasRightMedia_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"featureHeader_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text_TAw0W35QK_ comfy_TAw0W35QK_ sizeTitle2_TAw0W35QK_ weightNormal_TAw0W35QK_ primary_i3MsQsqoe0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHLA Autofocus System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"js-injected-html text_UbV5SNP5Eo\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) focusing motor introduces unprecedented speed, precision, and silence into the Sigma autofocus system.
