It weighs around 535g and is compatible with 67mm threaded lens filters. The zoom also benefits from an inner zoom mechanism, so the barrel length stays constant during zooming and focusing, which improves balance on gimbals while helping to protect the lens from dust and moisture intrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLens Coatings and All-Weather Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlare and ghosting are minimised thanks to the use of Sigma’s Super Multi-Layer Coating, which helps to maintain contrast and clarity in backlit conditions. A dust and splash-resistant structure also adds durability, with a water and oil-repellent coating on the front element for easier cleaning after shooting outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptimised Autofocus and Focus System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens uses Sigma’s well known HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) to deliver fast, quiet and precise autofocus. This is ideal for both video and stills, especially when used on a gimbal or with eye or face detection tracking. Focus breathing is reduced too, enabling consistent framing when pulling focus during video. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLens Barrel Controls\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn aperture ring is included for exposure control, with de-click via a switch to allow smooth, silent adjustment while recording video.
