Tripod Socket TS-111 When using the 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS HSM | C or 105mm F1.4 DG HSM | A on a tripod, this tripod socket (sold separately) can be attached, helping to reduce strain on the camera body and offering better balance on the tripod. Advanced features Fast, smooth AF is enabled by a stepping motor optimised to the latest algorithm, and the lens has powerful image stabilisation (OS) of four stops built-in. When combined with a camera body with its own image stabilisation, the lens corrects for pitch and yaw axis rotations, providing even more compensation for camera shake. The stabilisation has two modes one for general shooting and one for panning and its possible to toggle between them quickly using a switch on the lens body. The lens features an AFL button, to which the user may assign a range of different functions via the camera, and a focus limiter switch that allows the user to optimise the AF range depending on the subject distance. Build quality The construction of the lens is designed to be both light and robust. Magnesium alloy is used around the tripod socket attachment, whereas for some other parts of the barrel, durable but light polycarbonate is used. The lens features the dust and splash-proof seal on the mount to stop contamination in difficult shooting settings such as on beaches and during rainfall. Theres also a water and oil repellent coating on the frontmost surface of the lens, which helps keep the from element clear of debris. | Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Lens - L-Mount in Black
