CONDITION NOTE
Good Functional Condition: This lens is in good overall condition and remains fully operational.

Exterior: The outer lens barrel shows some minor cosmetic wear from normal field use.

Optics: There is some light internal dust present inside the glass array, which is typical for a used lens and does not affect image quality, contrast, or overall functionality. It is mechanically sound and ready for daily production.

Cinematic f/1.4 Aperture & Elite Optical Array
Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: The wide f/1.4 aperture excels when shooting in low-light conditions, letting you maintain fast shutter speeds without spiking your ISO. It also grants extensive control over a shallow depth of field, allowing you to isolate wide-angle subjects against a creamy background.

Premium Low-Dispersion Glass: The optical matrix uses two Special Low Dispersion (SLD) elements and three F Low Dispersion (FLD) elements (which offer performance matching fluorite glass) to aggressively suppress color fringing, chromatic aberrations, and color artifacts.

Aspherical Precision Elements: Outfitted with two aspherical elements to eliminate geometric distortions, coma, and spherical aberrations, ensuring high sharpness and edge-to-edge definition even when shooting wide open.

Super Multi-Layer Coating: Individual lens elements feature Sigma’s anti-reflective multi-layer treatment to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting. This guarantees crisp, contrast-rich, and color-neutral imagery when shooting into direct sunlight or harsh backlit conditions.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: Incorporates a rounded nine-blade aperture structure to create smooth, circular out-of-focus highlights and an organic background blur (bokeh).

High-Speed Stepping AF & Weather-Sealed Build
Fluid Stepping AF Motor: Driven by a rapid stepping autofocus motor that delivers quick, dead-accurate, and near-silent focusing transitions. This smooth performance seamlessly accommodates both portrait photographers locking onto fast action and videographers tracking cinematic rack-focus moves.

Dust and Splash-Resistant Sealing: The lens features protective rubber weather gasketing integrated directly into the mount design, making it dust and splash-resistant to safeguard your camera connection when shooting in unpredictable outdoor climates.

Durable Brass Bayonet Mount: Crafted with a solid, treated brass bayonet mount that ensures lifelong structural rigidity, mounting accuracy, and robust hardware durability over years of constant lens swaps.

Included Accessories
Dedicated Lens Hood Included: Ships complete with its original matching plastic lens hood, designed to block stray, off-axis light from causing internal flare while offering robust physical impact protection to the front glass element.

Front & Rear Caps Included: Includes standard front and rear lens caps to securely safeguard both ends of the optical system from dust, fingerprints, and smudges during storage or travel.
