With the new SIGMA 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports, SIGMA is launching a lens in September 2025 that is already causing a stir. It is the world's first 200mm F2 fixed focal length lens for mirrorless full-frame cameras - a real milestone for photographers looking for the highest optical quality.

The lens is available for the full-frame systems L-Mount (Leica SL, Lumix S, Sigma) and Sony E-Mount.

The design with 19 lens elements in 14 groups provides the SIGMA 200mm F2 with excellent sharpness right into the corners of the image, even at open aperture. With the extreme speed of F2, not only is cropping and soft bokeh possible, but also low-light photography.

Particularly exciting for sports and action photographers: the HLA drive ensures fast and precise autofocus, while the optical image stabilization (OS2) compensates for up to 6.5 exposure stops. This means that even freehand shots with slow shutter speeds are possible. The whole thing is complemented by a robust, weather-protected housing that is ideal for tough practical use.

The newly designed TS-171 tripod clamp is Arca-Swiss compatible and can also be used as a carrying handle. Numerous switches and AFL buttons allow quick adjustment to the respective shooting situation.

The SIGMA 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports will be available from September 2025.

It’s available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video ($3,299)

The 200mm with the brightest F-number and outstanding optical performance ― stunning image quality that makes your subject stand out.

The Sigma 200mm F2 DG OS | Sports is the world’s first1 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-stop2 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)

KEY FEATURES

The world’s first 200mm F2 full-frame mirrorless lens with outstanding optical performance

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.

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.

High-speed autofocus and optical stabilization that maximize optical performance

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 stops1. 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.

Exceptional build quality and durability of Sigma’s Sports line

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 structure1. 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.

Newly designed tripod socket A new tripod socket, TS-171, has been designed with its use as a carrying handle in mind, featuring a longer base and wider spacing between it and the lens. The tripod ring incorporates a 90° click mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure rotation, and the foot is compatible with Arca-Swiss type clamps.

Equipped with various functions to support shooting There are various functions to support shooting, including AFL buttons in three different locations, a focus mode switch, a focus limiter switch, an OS switch (Mode 1/2), and a custom mode switch.
