Sigma Lens Abbreviations
C (Contemporary) – this product line consists mainly of variable aperture zoom lenses for
general use, such as standard and telephoto zoom lenses for APS-C cameras (the Sigma
18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 OS HSM Macro C, for example). The way I see it this is basically
‟ z
A (Art) – you will find all the fastest Sigma prime lenses to belong to this product line.
Sigma says the Art line “
” -angle, macro, fishey and fast-aperture
zoom lenses will also belong to this category (the 18-35mm f/1.8 HSM A is a good
exampl).
S (Sport) – as you might understand, this product line is for telephoto lenses (both zoom
and fixed focal length) designed with sports and wildlife photography in mind. Expect
these lenses to be quite pricey and also feature relatively fast maximum aperture
settings.
EX – Si ‟ - ‟
gold ring series), you can still find a few new and used optics with such designation.
‟
products that would belong to the EX lineup.
Sigma is one of the largestthird-party lens manufacturers and, as such, designs lenses for a
variety ofsensor sizes:
DN – lenses designed for compact system cameras. Sigma is yet to release lenses for
full-frame mirrorless cameras (the Sony duo), so it is yet unclear if such optics will have
a designation of their own (quite likely), or belong to either DN or DG series.
HSM – H ‟
technology. It is a ring-type ultrasonic motor designed to provide quick and silent
focusing.
OS – optical image stabilization technology used in Sigma lenses; similar to Canon IS,
Nikon VR and Tamron VC.
ASP (Aspherical) – lenses with this designation have aspherical glass elements in their
optical design.
APO (Apochromatic) – apochromatic lenses are designed to correct chromatic and other
sorts of aberrations more effectively. Truly apochromatic lenses feature exotic fluorite
elements and have no chromatic aberrations at all. According to Sigma, their APO lenses
“ z nses which use special optical designs and optical
materials (SLD or ELD glass) to improve their performance. The result is images which
have greater contrast, sharpness and color definition than a comparable non-APO type
”
RF – such lenses have rear focusing design, which means that during focusing operation
only a few elements positioned behind the diaphragm blades are moved (rather than all
the elements). This results in potentially faster AF operation and non-rotating front
elements.
IF – internal focusing is similar to RF, but in this case several optical elements in front of
the diaphragm are moved during focusing (rather than all the elements). The size of the
lens remains constant, but the focal length might change slightly as you focus.
SLD – Special Low Dispersion glass elements are designed to minimize chromatic
aberrations.
ELD – Extraordinary Low Dispersion glass elements might have a slightly funny name,
but they should perform even better than SLD.
FLD – “
”
“ ” ess
expensive.
Canon lenses use the following termsto indicate features of each lens:
Common
Focus/Mount Type
o TS: Tilt-Shift
Features
o (Mark) N: Version of lens (Mark II = v2, Mark III = v3, etc., word Mark may not
be present)
o L: Luxury series
o PF Power Focus
LeicaRangefinder and SLR Lenses
Leica RF and SLR lenses use thefollowing terms to indicate features of each lens:
Common
Lens Mount
Lens Speed
Features
Note: There are sometimes small numbers engraved next to theinfinity symbol on the focusing
scale. These numbers indicate a difference ofthe actual focal length of the lens compared to the
nominal value in tenths ofmillimeter. For example, if the number is 14 and the lens is 50mm,
the actualfocal length is 51.4

NikonF-Mount Lenses
Nikon SLR/DSLR lenses use thefollowing terms to indicate features of each lens:
Common
Lens System
Lens Mount
o IX: Lenses designed specially for APS film SLR-s; their rear end protrudes too
much to allow using them on a 35mm film camera or a dSLR
o Series E A cheaper series of AI-S where plastic replaced some metal parts. Not
designated as Nikkor but "Nikon Lens Series E"
Focusing System
o AF-S: Auto-Focus Silent (Silent Wave Motor, required for bodies without focus
motor)
o AF-I: Auto-Focus Internal
Features
o D: Distance, communicates focus distance for 3D Matrix metering mode and also
for flash autoexposure. All AF-I, AF-S, and G-type lenses are also D-type.
(Indicated after the f-number in the name, sometimes designated as AF-D).
o N: Nano-Crystal Coating
o FL: Fluorite. Designated a lens with some element in fluorite instead glass.
o PF: Phase Fresnel Lens Elements. Lenses which provides superior chromatic
aberration compensation performance when combined with a normal glass lens.
Examples
These lenses are used on Nikon1-series compact systems cameras. The lenses are marked
"Nikon 1NIKKOR". Terms used in names are mostly the same as for F-mount.
Common
Lens System
o CX: For use with 1" sensor (13.2mm x 18.8mm).
Features
o PD-Zoom: Power drive zoom (primarily for movies, no zoom ring, sometimes
designated PD)
o RF: Rear Focus (or Rapid Focus? Marked on 18.5mm f/1.8 lens which has
lightweight/fast AF.)
The last three terms (IF, RF, ED)are marked on lenses but may not appear in Nikons description
of the lens. Manyof these lenses incorporate aspherical elements and will be
marked"Aspherical"
Examples
Common
Features
Leica Nomenclature
Nocticron: f/1.2
Features
o 3D: 3D lens
Examples
Panasonic Leica D Vario-Elmar 14-150mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S.
Common
Focus/Mount Type
o AF: Early AF system with AF motor and electronics in lens that works only with
ME-F body.
o DA: Same capabilities as FAJ, but with reduced imaging circle for digital cameras
with APS-C sized sensor
o D FA: Same capabilities as FA lenses, usable on both film and digital cameras
Features
o AW: All Weather (again when matched with WR body; it's unclear how if at all
this differs from the above)
,Tokina, Samyang
Sony/MinoltaLenses
Sony lenses, previously Minoltalenses, have similar features to Nikon and Canon. Their notation
is as follows:
Common
o Alpha: α
o E: E Type Mount
Focusing System
Features
o M: 1:1 magnification
Examples
TamronLenses
Tamron lenses use the followingterms to indicate features of each lens. Tamron offers a
considerable degree offunctional features and lens types, particularly lens types that
affectchromatic aberration:
Common
o AF: Auto-Focus
o Nikon
o Canon
o Minolta/Sony
o Pentax
Features
o Lens Elements
o Functional Features
Di: Digitally Integrated (optimized for use with full-frame digital cameras)
Di-II: Digitally Integrated (optimized for use with APS-C digital cameras)
FEC: Filter Effect Control (controls filter direction when lens hood

o AF: Auto-Focus

o DH: detachable hood (indicated only if a similar focal length model with fixed
hood exists)
o T-S: tilt-shift
o Preset: Aperture preset (so you can quickly flick aperture ring between maximum
aperture for focusing and desired aperture for shooting; there's no aperture
linkage on a preset lens)
