Sigma lenses — fully compatible with the SD9 digital SLR and 35mm SLRs. 

Great lenses, of course, unleash the creative potential of single-lens reflex cameras. By making the SD9 compatible with the entire lineup

of lenses originally created for 35mm SLRs, SIGMA extends its heritage of superior optical technology to digital SLR photographers who

are determined to take their visions farther. The SIGMA family of interchangeable lenses is comprehensive, including fixed focal length,

macro, zoom, fisheye, and mirror models, covering a range from 8mm fisheye to 800mm super zoom. In every measure, every lens we

make exemplifies state - of-the - art performance and user-friendly operation for digital and 35mm film SLR photography alike. Naturally,

SD9 photographers stand to benefit from SIGMA’s far-reaching dedication to capturing the essence of every moment.

[ TELEPHOTO LENS ]

Telephoto lenses offer a closer-up view of distant or inaccessible subject

detail, or enhance an image’s feeling of airiness by compressing perspective

within a shallow depth of field and softly blurring the background.

[ MACRO LENS ]

Macro lenses widen the creative pallette by offering a clear perspective on small

flowers, insects, and more — great for closeups of nature in dramatic detail.

[ WIDE ZOOM LENS ]

Wide zoom lenses offer freedom for controlling angle and perspective for

shooting big buildings, expansive scenery, snap shots, and group photographs. 

[ STANDARD ZOOM LENS ]

Standard zoom lenses provide wide coverage that suits a broad range of 

spontaneous photo opportunities.

[ TELEPHOTO ZOOM LENS ]

Providing mobility and closeup detail, telephoto zoom lenses can capture

from afar impressive photographs of wild animals in the field or faces of 

athletes playing in stadiums.

[ HIGH PERFORMANCE ZOOM LENS ]

High performance zoom lenses can quickly, clearly focus on various subjects

within a range from close to distant.

[ WIDE LENS ]

Wide zoom lenses display their capabilities on expansive scenes. SIGMA

makes an 8mm fisheye lens covering 180 degrees, and other wide lenses up

to 28mm.

Image sensor dust protector

Other digital SLR cameras are typically

vulnerable to dust entering the body when

the lens is dismounted for changing. But the

SIGMA SD9 features a special dust protec-

tor that at all times keeps dust from entering

and adhering to the image sensor. This ensures extra durability and

reliable imaging integrity, even after long, rugged use.
