[SIGMA GLOBAL VISION]
SIGMA Global Vision” - SIGMA is working on its full renewal of the products, and the new lens lines
share all the following elements.
Evaluation with SIGMA’s own MTF measuring system “A1*”
We used to measure lens performance with an MTF measuring system using
conventional sensors. However, we’ve now developed our own proprietary
MTF (modulation transfer function) measuring system (A1) using
46-megapixel Foveon direct image sensors. Even previously undetectable
high-frequency details are now within the scope of our quality control inspections. The SIGMA
500mm F4 DG OS HSM | Sports will all be checked using this “A1” before they are shipped.
