Lens Description

The Sigma 300-800mm F5.6 EX DG APO HSM is a medium telephoto to super telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This constant-aperture zoom covers a 300mm to 800mm focal-range. It provides the same field of view as a 600-1600mm lens on a Full-Frame camera.

This zoom can focus down to 600cm from the imaging plane which gives it a maximum magnification of 0.14X. The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. While this lens is capable of AF, it does not have a built-in focus motor. It can only focus with a compatible camera body which features a mechanical AF-coupling.

This lens has a Four-Thirds mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Four-Thirds mount cameras. Sigma also makes this lens for Canon EF, Nikon F and Sigma S mounts.
