● High-speed autofocus and optical stabilization that maximize optical performance
● Exceptional build quality and durability of Sigma’s Sports line
THE 200MM WITH THE BRIGHTEST F-NUMBER AND OUTSTANDING OPTICAL PERFORMANCE-DELIVERING STUNNING IMAGE QUALITY THAT MAKES YOUR SUBJECT STAND OUT.
"The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports is the world’s first*1 200mm F2 telephoto prime lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras.
The large bokeh, compression effect, and exquisite depictions delivered by outstanding optical performance unlock the creator’s expressive power and enable unique photographic and video expression.
The lens is the ultimate choice for portrait photography, and is also ideal for shooting indoor sports with low-light and fast-moving subjects.
The linear motor HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) provides accurate, high-speed AF, and the 6.5-stop*2 image stabilization supports comfortable shooting.
Additionally, its dust- and splash-resistant structure, along with the robust design and advanced functionality of Sigma’s Sports line, makes it highly reliable in any shooting environment.
*1 As an interchangeable lens exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras, as of August 2025 by Sigma.
*2 Based on CIPA guidelines. (Measured at a focal length of 200mm with a 35mm full-frame camera)"

Excellent resolution even at maximum aperture
By adopting an optical design of 19 elements in 14 groups, including 2 FLD and 2 SLD glass elements, axial chromatic aberration and magnification chromatic aberration, which are easily noticeable in telephoto lenses, are thoroughly corrected, achieving exceptionally high optical performance. Even at wide-open aperture, it delivers finely detailed rendering that maintains high resolution and contrast from the center to the edges of the frame.
Impressive portraits made possible by the exceptional bokeh
With the large bokeh enabled by the F2 aperture, which boasts twice the light amount of F2.8, and the compression effect of the 200mm focal length, the lens delivers a gorgeous background blur that brings out the subject, achieving a unique expression. Combined with its exceptional optical performance, it makes it possible to take impressive portraits like no other.
Also powerful for indoor sports photography
The F2 brightness allows for a faster shutter speed even in low-light environments, making it a powerful tool for indoor sports photography. The large bokeh enhances the movements and expressions of the athletes, creating dynamic images, and with the high-speed AF made possible by the HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor and Optical Stabilization (OS), that decisive moment is not missed, even in fast-moving sports scenes.
Designed to minimize flare and ghosting
Using advanced simulation technology, flare and ghosting have been largely eliminated, ensuring that the lens renders rich, high-contrast results in all conditions. In addition, Sigma’s Nano Porous Coating and Super Multi-Layer Coating have been applied to further suppress flare and ghosting.
HLA-driven high-speed AF
The HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) motor is incorporated, achieving high-speed AF. It combines accelerated focusing speed with outstanding accuracy.
Powerful optical stabilization using the OS2 algorithm
The OS2 optical stabilization algorithm provides an outstanding image stabilization effect of 6.5 stops*1. The lens is equipped with two OS modes: Mode 1 is suitable for general shooting, and Mode 2 is ideal for panning shots of motorsports and other sports. In Mode 2, Sigma’s Intelligent OS, an algorithm specially designed for panning shots, enables effective image stabilization even when the camera is moved vertically or diagonally, regardless of the horizontal and vertical orientation. This ensures that the subject’s movement can be captured without losing the panning shot effect.

Thermal insulation paint for perfect lens performance
The exterior of the lens body is coated with a thermal insulation paint that effectively suppresses heat absorption from sunlight. This prevents the lens from heating up, even during long outdoor shoots in sunny weather.
Weatherability of Sigma’s Sports line specifications
The mount joints, manual focus ring, zoom ring, custom switches, and exterior joints are all protected from dust and splash by a dust- and splash-resistant structure*1. Further, the frontmost surface of the lens is coated with a water- and oil-repellent coating to facilitate maintenance when water droplets or dust adhere to the lens.
*1. The structure is designed to be dust- and splash-resistant, but not waterproof. Be careful not to bring the lens in contact with a large amount of water. Water inside the lens may cause major damage and even render the lens unrepairable.

Various functions to support shooting
The lens features a variety of buttons and switches to accommodate individual preferences and the demands of different shooting situations, including AFL buttons in four different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS mode switch (Mode 1 or Mode 2), and a custom mode switch. The L-Mount version of the lens is also compatible with Tele Converters (TC-1411/TC-2011) for AF-enabled shooting at a maximum focal length of 1,200mm.

MTF CHART
There are two types of MTF chart. One considers the diffraction quality of light, which is called "Diffraction MTF", and the other, "Geometrical MTF" does not.
The quality of light appears in the diffracted light, and becomes more distinct as the F value gets bigger, resulting in lower image quality. Also, diffracted light exists at every aperture, which is why Sigma has been releasing Diffraction MTF data from the beginning since it is very close to the actual image data.
The advantage of using "Geometric MTF" data is that it is easy to measure and calculate since it does not consider the diffraction quality of light, yet it tends to show higher values in the graph than actual images.
The readings at 10 lines per millimeter measure the lens's contrast ability ( red lines), repeating fine parallel lines spaced at 30 lines per millimeter measure the lens's sharpness ability (green lines), when the aperture is wide open.
Fine repeating line sets are created parallel to a diagonal line running from corner to corner of the frame, are called Sagittal lines (S) and sets of repeating lines vertical to these lines are drawn, called Moridional (M) line sets.
*The MTF chart gives the result at the wide-open aperture.

HLA (High-response Linear Actuator)
HLA is SIGMA's proprietary linear motor. It drives the focus lens directly without going through gears or other mechanical parts, resulting in quiet, high-precision autofocusing.
OS (Optical Stabilizer) function
Sigma's original OS (Optical Stabilizer) function uses sensors inside the lens to detect any motion, then moves specific lens elements in order to effectively minimize blur caused by such movement. Owing to the stabilized image in the viewfinder, it is possible to fine-tune composition and ensure accurate focusing.
Nano Porous Coating
The super multi-layer coating is combined with Sigma's unique coating technology ""NPC (Nano Porous Coating)"". The lens has been designed to be less susceptible to strong incident light such as backlight.
NPC (Nano Porous Coating)"" incorporates porous silica as the coating material. The porous silica layer has nano-sized holes with air inside. Having holes of this size enables a large reduction in the refractive index, allowing the reflectance to be lowered more than conventional anti-reflective coatings. As a result, reflected light causing flares and ghosting is sharply reduced, achieving clear image quality.
Water and oil repellent coating
Incorporates a water and oil-repellent coating that allows water to be wiped away easily and prevents oil and fat from sticking to the surface, even in challenging shooting conditions. At the same time, the maintenance of the lens surface becomes easier.
