Sigma Lens Hood Compatibility Chart

Lens hood finder: Which hood does your Sigma lens take?

Here are the part numbers for the lens hoods for common Sigma lenses. If you’re after lens diameters, I also have a Sigma lens filter sizes chart.

Some focal lengths have multiple lenses, so it’s important to match the other parts of the name. It’s common for lens manufacturers to produce multiple lenses at specific focal lengths, and they don’t necessarily have the same lens diameter and filter size.

This is an ongoing list. I’m starting with Sigma’s current range and adding older lenses to it as the opportunity arises. Please feel free to send through any additions, requests, or corrections.

A quick way to filter down from this long list is to use the chart’s search bar to narrow it down by focal length (eg. type in “70-200”).

Sigma lens jargon

Like all camera and lens manufacturers, Sigma adds their own jargon to their lenses and related technology. Here’s how to decode some of the main terms you might come across. (I have a more comprehensive guide to Sigma lens codes separately).

• DG: Designed for digital. But that’s not quite all there is to it. Basically it means that it works on full-frame cameras. DG lenses will work on full-frame, APS-C, and film cameras. DC lenses will only work on APS-C cropped sensors. Sigma has its DN lenses, which are for mirrorless micro4/3 cameras. But this lens will also work well on a cropped sensor cameras like Nikon’s DX range, in which case it transforms it into a staggering 225-900mm equivalent.
• DC: Sigma uses DC for lenses designed specifically for cameras with APS-C sized sensors.
• HSM: Hyper Sonic Motor. This refers to the autofocus mechanism and trying to imply that it’s fast and quiet. Nikon’s version is called Silent Wave Motor.

Sigma’s current range is divided into three categories, or lines. The distinctions are often more useful in marketing than in practice, but when there’s overlap in the focal lengths, the Art and Sports lenses tend to be more expensive and have higher specs and performance, with the Contemporary series aiming more for the enthusiast end of the market.

• C / Contemporary: Sigma’s “Contemporary” series. The Contemporary series lenses are more designed for general everyday photography, with their own combination of price, optical performance, speed, portability, and versatility. Or, as Sigma marketing puts it: “Engineered for today’s photographer who wants to do it all, our Contemporary line combines superior optical performance and compactness for high-performance lenses that cover a wide range of needs.”
• A / Art: The Art series leans more heavily on optical performance and is less worried about things like focusing speed. Or, as Sigma puts it: “Engineered for those who see photography as a critical expression of self, our Art line offers sophisticated optical performance and abundant expressive power to deliver faithfully on your artistic vision.”
• S / Sports: While the Sports series aims for, well, sports, but also nature and wildlife photography. So they tend to have a combination of high optical performance and fast responsiveness. Or, in Sigma’s words: “Engineered for dynamic capture and split-second timing, our Sports line delivers sophisticated optical performance to get you closer to those powerful action shots you’re after.”

I-Series. There is another series known as the I-Series. This is a collection of compact prime lenses designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras. They have all-metal bodies, manual aperture control, and magnetic lens caps (most of them, anyway).
